WIRELESS NETWORKS ARE A NECESSITY

A wireless network (or Wi-Fi network) is no longer a convenience.  For many workplaces wireless network access has become an essential part of their businesses. There are millions of portable wireless devices that people carry around with them today, including traditional laptops, tablets, and smartphones (which include iPhones, iPads, and the huge selection of Android-based devices).

Making your workplace Wi-Fi friendly is good business. Having a Wi-Fi network can create goodwill with your visitors and customers. It can also provide access to your network in areas that are too expensive or too difficult to reach easily with traditional Ethernet network cabling.

How Hard Can It Be To Create My Own Wireless Network?

Creating a reliable and dependable Wi-Fi network can be difficult. For example, it may seem like a good idea to buy an inexpensive wireless router or access point and stick it in a closet, but usually this type of approach is not likely to provide the results you’re looking for.  Furthermore, if you try to stream videos or attempt video conferencing using inexpensive or improperly configured equipment, you may encounter problems. Depending on how you configured your equipment and the quality of your wireless access point, users may be disappointed, especially when more than just a handful of people are relying on your Wi-Fi network. Cheap, low-cost wireless access points typically work fine for a few users, but they can’t keep up when you scale to ten or more users.

Location is the Key to a Healthy Wireless Network

A successful Wi-Fi installation involves more than just plugging in a few access points and hoping for the best. There are some important issues to consider:

• Where to locate the access points.
• What is the composition of the interior walls?
• How many access points need to be installed?

Locating the Wi-Fi access points is a critical piece of the wireless deployment. We can work with you to set up a wireless network that suits your business needs in the best way possible.

WHAT TYPE OF NETWORK IS BEST FOR YOU?

When Wi-Fi Isn’t Enough

Wireless networks are wonderful for email applications, internet access, and web-based programs.  However, it may not be the ideal solution for all of your software needs.

Many software packages that can’t handle the occasional communication “glitch” are less than ideal for Wi-Fi.  Most of the popular small-business accounting packages will not run properly over Wi-Fi, because the software can’t tolerate occasional or momentary lapses in connectivity. Web browsers and email applications are well suited for Wi-Fi networks, but applications that send a lot of traffic or can’t handle communication errors are poorly suited to Wi-Fi.
