What we typically find

₹62 Lakh

Three-year total cost of ownership reclaimed on a 9-branch 220-user Mumbai retail estate that was running a SonicWall SSL VPN concentrator at headquarters for the 90 remote workers plus a separate on-premise Cisco Wi-Fi controller per branch with 36 access points across the 9 branch sites plus a separate guest Wi-Fi captive portal stitched together on a Linux box plus a Splunk SIEM ingesting logs from the VPN concentrator and the Wi-Fi controllers. Consolidated onto a single Quantum Networks tenant with Quantum ZTNA replacing the SonicWall SSL VPN, Quantum Cloud Wi-Fi access points replacing the on-premise Cisco Wi-Fi controllers, the unified captive-portal experience replacing the stitched-together guest network, SAML SSO wired through Microsoft Entra ID, device compliance gating via Microsoft Intune, and audit logs streaming into Microsoft Sentinel for SOC cross-source correlation. The review took 26 hours. Read-only access. Free.

Five places Indian buyers get cloud-managed network and ZTNA wrong

Most Indian SMB and mid-market estates overpay by 30 to 55 percent because they keep a legacy VPN concentrator running for remote-worker access when ZTNA would replace it cleanly, they keep on-premise single-site Wi-Fi controllers when cloud-managed multi-site Wi-Fi would consolidate the dashboard, they buy a global SASE platform when their footprint is one or two branches and a remote-worker cohort, they ignore the Indian-residency angle on the control-plane data when DPDP makes it material, and they hand the network-and-security spend to four different vendors when one Indian-built cloud-managed platform covers the SMB footprint. Here is where the buying decision usually goes sideways.

What Quantum Networks does that a SonicWall-plus-Cisco-Wi-Fi-plus-stitched-captive-portal stack does not do

Quantum Networks is the Indian-built cloud-managed network and security platform that consolidates four surfaces on one cloud controller with the data plane resident in Mumbai. One Quantum tenant covers Quantum ZTNA for the remote-worker and third-party-vendor cohort, Quantum Cloud Wi-Fi 6 access points across the indoor (Q-810, Q-820, Q-830) and outdoor (Q-870) range sized for the branch and campus wireless plane, Quantum cloud-managed switches for the branch underlay with PoE budget planning and VLAN segregation, and Quantum cloud-managed security appliances for the branch perimeter where the on-premise firewall is approaching hardware refresh. The Quantum cloud controller integrates with Microsoft Entra ID for SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning, with Microsoft Intune for the device compliance state gate on Quantum ZTNA agent sign-in, with Microsoft Sentinel for cross-source SOC log ingest, with Microsoft Defender for Business for the endpoint posture signal that feeds the ZTNA conditional-access decision, with Sophos Intercept X and MDR for the endpoint detection and response plane that pairs with the network plane, and with Secure Data Guard for the endpoint-side data-loss-prevention enforcement plane that pairs with the Quantum-governed network egress.

Most Indian SMB estates we review run a four-tool stack with four management consoles, four policy frameworks, four renewal dates, four identity-federation configurations, and four engineering skill requirements. We consolidate the workload onto one Quantum Networks tenant before we recommend a single SKU. The review takes 24 hours and costs nothing.

The secret most Indian SMB buyers miss on Indian-residency control plane

Quantum Networks is one of the few cloud-managed network platforms with the control plane and the data plane resident inside India on Mumbai-region infrastructure by default. Cisco Meraki, Aruba HPE Central, and Fortinet FortiCloud all run the control plane on global cloud infrastructure with India-region or APAC-region replication depending on the SKU and the data class. For Indian SMB and mid-market estates under DPDP-aligned residency posture, particularly the BFSI, healthcare, EdTech and government-adjacent segments, the Quantum residency story is the cleanest answer on the market. Quantum Networks maintains India MSA, DPDP-aligned data handling terms, and the platform is supported by an Indian-resident engineering and support team in Mumbai. For hard-residency Indian estates pair Quantum with Secure Data Guard at ₹749 per device per month for the endpoint plane and document the cross-border posture (or lack of it) in the readiness review. Indian-built, Indian-supported, India-resident control plane on Mumbai infrastructure.

Why Quantum ZTNA is the under-used answer for Indian SMB VPN replacement

Traditional remote-access VPN concentrators (Cisco AnyConnect, FortiGate SSL VPN, SonicWall, Palo Alto GlobalProtect) give the remote worker a full network tunnel into the corporate LAN, which over-grants reachability across every internal application. Quantum ZTNA replaces the network-layer tunnel with application-layer access: the user authenticates once via the Quantum ZTNA agent to Microsoft Entra ID SAML SSO with conditional access through Microsoft Intune device compliance, the Quantum cloud broker connects the user to only the applications the user is entitled to, the user has no network-layer reachability beyond the broker, and every access decision is logged for the SOC. Microsoft Defender for Business endpoint posture flows in as a signal. The cross-tool call lives in the readiness review.

Quantum Cloud Wi-Fi 6 with cloud-managed multi-site policy

Quantum Cloud Wi-Fi is the Indian-built cloud-managed Wi-Fi 6 platform that covers the indoor (Q-810 for small-to-medium branches, Q-820 for medium-to-large branches, Q-830 for high-density coverage in conference rooms and training centres) and outdoor (Q-870 for warehouse, manufacturing-plant yards, hotel grounds, education campuses) wireless plane on one cloud controller. The platform supports multi-SSID with VLAN segregation, captive-portal guest experience with branding control, RADIUS integration with Microsoft Entra ID for the corporate SSID, MAC-bypass policy for IoT and OT endpoints, role-based access policy for the BYOD cohort, and per-AP-per-month subscription pricing at around ₹180 per access point per month. The hardware fee for the Q-810 indoor access point lands at around ₹14,000 per unit. Conference room AV deployments pair cleanly with Q-830 high-density APs.

Quantum covers ZTNA, cloud Wi-Fi, switches and branch perimeter on one platform

Quantum Networks consolidates four network and security surfaces on one cloud controller. ZTNA replaces the remote-access VPN concentrator with per-application access. Cloud Wi-Fi replaces the on-premise Wi-Fi controller with cloud-managed multi-site policy. Cloud-managed switches replace the legacy access-layer switches with PoE budget planning and VLAN segregation. Cloud-managed firewall appliances replace the branch perimeter firewall at the hardware-refresh cycle. One Quantum tenant, one cloud controller, one SAML SSO into Entra ID or Okta, one SCIM provisioning pipeline, one policy framework. For the broader-platform full-SASE convergence with SD-WAN plus the full security stack, the Indian buyer graduates to Cato Networks SASE at the next MPLS or branch-firewall renewal cycle.

  1. 1

    Read-only review of your network and remote-access estate Free

    You add care@siriusstar.in as a read-only viewer on the Quantum cloud controller if you already run a Quantum tenant (or you give us the list of VPN concentrators, on-premise Wi-Fi controllers, branch switches, branch firewalls, and remote-worker counts if you do not), a Reports Reader on the Microsoft Entra ID tenant for the joiner-mover-leaver audit, a read-only viewer on the Microsoft Intune tenant for the device compliance posture, a read-only viewer on the Microsoft Sentinel workspace for the log-ingest audit, and a network-diagram walkthrough on the existing branch topology. Five-minute setup. No code change, no policy change, no provisioning change, we cannot push a single policy, AP change, switch change, or ZTNA agent deployment.

    We map every existing VPN concentrator and the remote-worker count and the application-access pattern, every on-premise Wi-Fi controller and the AP count per site, every legacy switch and its PoE budget, every branch firewall and its hardware refresh date, every cohort that is on the wrong tier (full-VPN user who only needs ZTNA to three applications, on-premise Wi-Fi controller that runs at less than 40 percent of its AP capacity, branch firewall that runs at less than 25 percent of its capacity), every shadow remote-access tool, every cohort that needs Indian-residency control plane for DPDP-aligned posture, every AWS and Azure workload that needs identity-driven access from the Indian remote-worker estate, and the monthly cost run-rate per existing tool. The deliverable is a one-business-day written report with the Quantum Networks design, the ZTNA versus full-platform recommendation, the Wi-Fi AP sizing per branch, the switch and firewall replacement plan, the ZTNA rollout cohort sequence, the SAML SSO and SCIM design via Entra ID, the conditional access design via Intune, the audit-log streaming design into Sentinel, the DPDP records of processing register design, and the upgrade-path recommendation to Cato Networks SASE at the next MPLS or branch-firewall renewal cycle if the estate is approaching that threshold.

  2. 2

    ZTNA application mapping, Wi-Fi AP sizing and policy framework design

    We map every internal application to a Quantum ZTNA policy with the right Entra ID security group binding (the "Finance" group gets access to the ERP, the "Sales" group gets access to the CRM and the customer-data warehouse, the "Engineering" group gets access to the source-code repository and the staging environments, the third-party-vendor group gets access only to the specific application and only during the active engagement window), with the right session-context posture (managed device only or BYOD allowed, MFA required or device-trust sufficient, geographic constraint, time-of-day constraint), and with the right downstream inspection where the Quantum platform exposes it. We size the Wi-Fi access-point footprint per branch across the Q-810 (small-to-medium branch), Q-820 (medium-to-large branch), Q-830 (high-density conference rooms and training centres), and Q-870 (outdoor warehouse, manufacturing-plant yards, hotel grounds, education campus). We also handle the Quantum tenant setup, the Quantum cloud controller configuration, the SAML 2.0 SSO federation with Microsoft Entra ID (or Okta Identity Cloud), the SCIM auto-provisioning pipeline from Entra ID security groups to Quantum ZTNA policies, the conditional access policies in Entra ID that gate the Quantum ZTNA agent to compliant managed devices via Microsoft Intune device compliance state, the audit-log streaming pipeline from Quantum into Microsoft Sentinel for cross-source SOC correlation, the multi-SSID and VLAN policy design for the corporate, BYOD, guest, and IoT and OT segments, the captive-portal experience for the guest network with the brand-aligned landing experience, the RADIUS integration with Entra ID for the corporate SSID, and the MAC-bypass policy for the IoT and OT endpoints. Microsoft 365 single sign-on plus the SSID-level identity posture round out the corporate Wi-Fi experience.

    We also design the Wi-Fi cutover sequence wave by wave: the headquarters site cuts first with the dual-AP redundancy live so the cutover is reversible, the highest-traffic branch cuts second with the multi-AP coverage plan validated against the floor plan and the user density, the medium branches cut third in batches of 2-3 per wave with a 1-week stabilisation window between waves, the small branches cut last in batches of 4-5 per wave. The existing on-premise Wi-Fi controllers are decommissioned 60 days after the corresponding site is stable on the Quantum Cloud Wi-Fi platform, with the existing controller retained as a spare for the legacy switch and AP estate if any single-site office has not yet cut over.

  3. 3

    Pilot wave plus production rollout plus VPN concentrator retirement

    We pilot Quantum Networks on a 3-branch 30-remote-worker pilot cohort with the Quantum cloud controller live, Entra ID SAML SSO live, SCIM provisioning live for the pilot security groups, Quantum Cloud Wi-Fi access points deployed to the 3 pilot branches with the Q-810 or Q-820 sizing depending on branch capacity, Quantum ZTNA agent deployed to the 30 pilot remote workers via Microsoft Intune push, the first 15 ZTNA-published applications live (the CRM, the ERP, the HR portal, the finance app, plus 11 cohort-specific applications), the multi-SSID and VLAN policy live across the corporate, BYOD, guest, and IoT segments, the captive-portal experience live for the guest network, and the audit-log streaming into Microsoft Sentinel active. We run a 3-week pilot wave with weekly standup, week-end review, and a written go-no-go decision before the production rollout. We then roll Quantum out wave by wave across the 5 to 25 branch estate with 2 to 3 branches per wave and a 1-week stabilisation window between waves. The remote-worker Quantum ZTNA agent rollout happens in two cutover waves across the 50 to 2,000 remote-worker estate because the cohort can absorb the change in one go once the ZTNA application catalogue and the SCIM provisioning pipeline are seeded. The VPN concentrator decommissioning happens 30 days after the corresponding cohort is stable on the Quantum ZTNA agent. The on-premise Wi-Fi controller decommissioning happens at the per-site cutover.

    Indian SMB and mid-market estates that consolidate onto Quantum Networks typically see the per-user effective network-and-remote-access spend drop 20 to 40 percent in the first 12 months once the VPN concentrator is retired and the on-premise Wi-Fi controllers are partially decommissioned, the three-year total cost of ownership drop 30 to 55 percent once the controller and concentrator depreciation fully absorbs, the remote-worker application-access latency drop on the Quantum ZTNA agent path versus the legacy VPN-plus-concentrator path, the cross-branch Wi-Fi policy drift drop to near-zero because the cloud-managed dashboard enforces one policy framework across every branch, and the SOC mean-time-to-detect drop once the cross-source telemetry lands in Microsoft Sentinel for cross-correlation. We measure all five against the baseline in the readiness report.

  4. 4

    Quarterly Quantum policy review plus optional managed operations

    We run a quarterly Quantum Networks review covering the ZTNA application-policy hygiene (which applications have policy decisions that match the current Entra ID group membership, which applications need policy adjustments after the most recent reorganisation, which third-party-vendor policies have expired and need clean removal), the multi-SSID and VLAN policy drift (which branches have drifted from the corporate baseline, which need re-aligning), the captive-portal experience tuning (which guest cohorts have abused the access, which need tightening), the Wi-Fi access-point health across every branch, the cloud-managed switch health and PoE budget utilisation, the cloud-managed firewall posture, the ZTNA agent deployment health across the remote-worker estate, the SCIM provisioning audit (every joiner has the right ZTNA policy, every leaver has lost access at SSO and the policy is removed), the audit-log ingest health into Microsoft Sentinel, and the rupee-per-month reclamation tracking against the readiness-report baseline. For Indian businesses without an in-house network administrator, the Sirius Star managed Quantum Networks operations service at around ₹24,500 per tenant per month covers all of the above on a quarterly cadence plus monthly policy hygiene reviews, plus monthly AP and switch and firewall health monitoring, plus monthly ZTNA agent deployment monitoring, plus on-call escalation for sign-in incidents and branch outages, plus a monthly executive summary on the network estate. The deliverable cadence parallels Microsoft Purview, Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Entra ID, AvePoint Confidence Platform, Freshworks, Adobe Creative Cloud for Teams and Cato Networks SASE so the reports land together on the CIO desk on the same Monday.

Is Quantum Networks the right fit for your Indian business?

Quantum Networks is the Indian-built cloud-managed network and security platform that wins for Indian SMBs and mid-market estates with smaller branch footprints, hybrid remote-and-office workforces under 1,500 users, a legacy VPN concentrator that needs retiring, an on-premise Wi-Fi controller that needs replacing with cloud-managed multi-site policy, and a strong preference for Indian-built and India-resident control plane for DPDP-aligned residency posture. Below the SMB floor, single-site Indian businesses with under 25 users are better off with a clean Ubiquiti UniFi or value-band Wi-Fi controller deployment. Above the mid-market ceiling, the Indian buyer graduates to Cato Networks SASE for the broader-platform single-vendor convergence with SD-WAN plus the full security stack. The honest call is in the middle, and that is where Quantum Networks is the cheapest correct answer for most Indian SMB and mid-market estates with 1-plus branches and 25-plus remote workers. We will tell you which fits in the readiness review.

The right buyer is the Indian SMB or mid-market business with 1 to 25 branches in India, with a hybrid remote-and-office workforce between 25 and 1,500 users, with a legacy VPN concentrator approaching retirement, with on-premise Wi-Fi controllers approaching replacement, with a captive-portal guest-network requirement, with a strong preference for India-resident control plane on Mumbai infrastructure for DPDP-aligned residency, and with a leadership team that wants the network-and-remote-access estate centrally administered on one Indian-built platform with SSO and SCIM and quarterly policy review.

You are the right buyer if

  • You have 1 to 25 branches or remote sites in India with a remote-worker cohort that needs ZTNA
  • You have between 25 and 1,500 users on a hybrid remote-and-office model
  • You run a legacy VPN concentrator (Cisco AnyConnect, FortiGate SSL VPN, SonicWall, Palo Alto GlobalProtect) that needs retiring
  • You run on-premise Wi-Fi controllers (Cisco WLC, Ruckus on-premise, Aruba Mobility Controller) that need replacing with cloud-managed multi-site policy
  • You need a captive-portal guest network with brand-aligned landing experience
  • You want SAML SSO via Microsoft Entra ID or Okta, SCIM auto-provisioning, conditional access via Intune
  • You want audit logs streaming into Microsoft Sentinel for cross-source SOC correlation
  • You want India-resident control plane on Mumbai infrastructure for DPDP-aligned residency posture

You are the wrong buyer if

Your business runs from one site with under 25 users on a single Wi-Fi controller, in which case a Ubiquiti UniFi or value-band on-premise controller deployment is cheaper than the Quantum Cloud Wi-Fi subscription (we will tell you so). Your estate is above the mid-market ceiling with 5-plus branches, 100-plus users, MPLS or hybrid MPLS-internet underlays approaching renewal, multi-cloud workloads on AWS or Azure needing a global private backbone, in which case Cato Networks SASE is the broader-platform answer (we will broker the conversation honestly). Your estate is a deep Cisco-incumbent shop with substantial sunk Cisco Catalyst and Cisco WLC investment and an in-house DNA Center skill base, in which case Cisco Meraki on top of the Cisco fabric is the safe-choice answer. Your estate is a deep Aruba HPE-incumbent shop with Aruba Central in production, in which case Aruba is the cheaper correct answer. Your estate is a deep Fortinet-incumbent shop with substantial sunk FortiGate hardware investment, in which case Fortinet FortiAP and FortiClient on top of the existing fabric is the cheaper correct answer. We will tell you so in the readiness review.

Frequently asked questions about Quantum Networks India

What does Quantum Networks ZTNA and cloud Wi-Fi cost in India in 2026?
Indicative 2026 India list pricing through Sirius Star is Quantum Networks ZTNA at around ₹290 per user per month for per-application zero-trust remote access, Quantum Cloud Wi-Fi access point subscription at around ₹180 per AP per month, the Q-810 Wi-Fi 6 indoor access point at around ₹14,000 per unit one-time hardware fee, and Sirius Star managed Quantum Networks operations starts at around ₹24,500 per tenant per month. Most Indian SMBs buy ZTNA first to retire the legacy VPN concentrator and add cloud-managed Wi-Fi at the next AP refresh cycle. We never quote without the free readiness review first.
What is Quantum Networks and how is it different from Cato Networks SASE, Cisco Meraki and Fortinet?
Quantum Networks is the Indian-built cloud-managed network and security platform delivering ZTNA, cloud Wi-Fi 6, cloud-managed switches, and cloud-managed firewall appliances from a single cloud controller with the data plane resident in Mumbai. Cato Networks SASE is the broader-platform single-vendor SASE convergence with SD-WAN plus the full security stack on a 90-plus PoP global private backbone, for mid-market and enterprise Indian buyers. Cisco Meraki is the Cisco cloud-networking premium-brand answer for Cisco-incumbent estates. Fortinet FortiGate plus FortiAP is the firewall-vendor convergence for Fortinet-incumbent estates. Quantum wins for Indian SMBs that want Indian-built, Indian-supported and India-resident on a smaller footprint without the global-platform price band. Sirius Star will tell you which fits in the readiness review.
Why pick Quantum Networks ZTNA over keeping a legacy VPN concentrator in India?
Most Indian SMBs still run a Cisco AnyConnect, FortiGate SSL VPN, SonicWall or Palo Alto GlobalProtect VPN concentrator that gives the remote worker a full network tunnel into the corporate LAN, over-granting reachability across every internal application. Quantum ZTNA replaces the network-layer tunnel with application-layer access: the user authenticates via the Quantum agent to Microsoft Entra ID SAML SSO with conditional access through Microsoft Intune device compliance, the Quantum cloud broker connects the user to only the entitled applications, the user has no network-layer reachability beyond the broker, and every access decision is logged. Per-user pricing at around ₹290 per month sits well below the Cato SASE band for the SMB cohort.
Does Quantum Networks keep data inside India under DPDP?
Yes. Quantum Networks is an Indian-built and Indian-headquartered platform with the cloud controller and the data plane resident inside India on Mumbai-region infrastructure. The ZTNA policy state, the Wi-Fi controller state, the switch and firewall configuration state, the audit-log archive, and the identity-binding metadata all sit on Mumbai-region infrastructure by default. For Indian DPDP residency, this is the cleanest residency posture available on a cloud-managed network platform, because there is no cross-border data path on the management plane. Quantum maintains India MSA and DPDP-aligned data handling terms. For hard-residency Indian estates pair Quantum with Secure Data Guard at ₹749 per device per month for the endpoint plane.
How does Quantum Cloud Wi-Fi compare to Cisco Meraki, Aruba and Ubiquiti UniFi?
Quantum Cloud Wi-Fi is the Indian-built cloud-managed Wi-Fi 6 platform with per-AP-per-month subscription at around ₹180 plus around ₹14,000 per Wi-Fi 6 indoor AP hardware fee. Cisco Meraki MR-series sits at the premium global-brand band with the strongest dashboard and the highest list price. Aruba HPE Central sits at a similar premium band with deeper Wi-Fi 6E and 7 feature set. Ubiquiti UniFi sits below Quantum on price but uses the self-managed controller pattern. Quantum sits in the value-to-mid-market band with cloud-managed multi-site policy, captive portal, RADIUS integration, multi-SSID, and the India-resident control plane Indian SMBs prefer. Sirius Star brokers the honest call in the readiness review based on AP count, multi-site footprint, captive-portal requirement, and Indian-residency constraint.
How does Quantum Networks integrate with Microsoft 365, Entra ID and Intune in India?
Quantum supports SAML 2.0 federation with Microsoft Entra ID for ZTNA agent and cloud controller sign-in. SCIM auto-provisioning maps Entra ID security groups to Quantum ZTNA application-access policies. Conditional access policies in Entra ID gate the Quantum ZTNA agent to compliant managed devices via Intune device compliance state. Audit logs stream into Microsoft Sentinel for cross-source SOC correlation. The M365 traffic path is not on the Quantum platform itself (Quantum is ZTNA and Wi-Fi, not full SD-WAN backbone), so Indian estates that also want the optimised M365 backbone pair Quantum with Cato Networks SASE for broader-platform convergence.
How does the Quantum Networks Wi-Fi access-point sizing work for Indian branches?
The Q-810 indoor AP covers small-to-medium branches under 50 users on a single-AP-per-floor design, the Q-820 covers medium-to-large branches at 50-150 users on a multi-AP coverage design, the Q-830 covers high-density conference rooms and training centres and 150-plus-user open-office floors, and the Q-870 outdoor AP covers warehouse, manufacturing-plant yards, hotel grounds, and education campus outdoor coverage. Indian typical: a 30-user retail outlet runs 2 to 3 Q-810s, a 75-user regional office runs 4 to 6 Q-820s, a 200-user manufacturing-plant office runs 8 to 12 Q-820s plus 2 to 4 Q-870 outdoor APs, a 500-user hub office runs 20-plus Q-820s plus Q-830s in conference rooms. Sirius Star sizes each branch in the readiness review.
How long does a Quantum Networks ZTNA and Wi-Fi rollout take for an Indian estate?
A simple Quantum ZTNA rollout with the Quantum cloud controller configured, SAML SSO wired to Microsoft Entra ID, SCIM auto-provisioning, ZTNA agent deployed via Microsoft Intune to the first 100 remote workers, and the first 20 ZTNA-published applications live, goes live in 2 to 4 weeks. Adding Quantum Cloud Wi-Fi to a 5-branch 20-AP estate adds 4 to 6 weeks. Adding Quantum cloud-managed switches for the branch underlay adds 4 to 8 weeks per wave. A managed Quantum Networks operations engagement starts within 2 weeks of the readiness report.
Should I pick Quantum Networks or Cato Networks SASE for my Indian estate?
Quantum Networks is the cheapest correct answer for Indian SMBs and mid-market estates with 25 to 1,500 users, 1 to 25 branches, a remote-worker cohort that needs ZTNA, and a cloud Wi-Fi requirement at the value-to-mid-market band, with a strong preference for Indian-built and India-resident control plane. Cato Networks SASE is the right answer above that footprint, for Indian businesses with 5-plus branches, 100-plus users, MPLS or hybrid MPLS-internet underlays approaching renewal, branch firewalls approaching hardware-refresh, multi-cloud workloads on AWS or Azure, and a leadership team that wants the network-and-security estate centrally administered on one platform with SD-WAN plus the full security stack converged. The two are not mutually exclusive for very large Indian estates. We size the right fit in the free readiness review.
Is Quantum Networks worth it versus running a free WireGuard VPN plus a basic Wi-Fi controller in India?
For most Indian SMB and mid-market estates above 25 users, yes. A free WireGuard VPN gives you a network-layer tunnel without identity-driven per-application access, without device-compliance gate, without audit-log pipeline, and without joiner-mover-leaver lifecycle, all of which the Indian SMB realises it needs at the first DPDP audit or the first leaver-exfiltration incident. A basic on-premise Wi-Fi controller gives you single-site wireless without multi-site cloud-managed policy, without captive-portal experience, without role-based RADIUS integration with Entra ID. Quantum at around ₹290 per user per month for ZTNA plus around ₹180 per AP per month for cloud Wi-Fi lands at the lowest total cost of ownership for Indian SMBs that want identity-driven per-application access, cloud-managed multi-site Wi-Fi, India-resident control plane, and the audit-log pipeline ready for DPDP review.
