Wireless
Wireless networking is a communication medium that is becoming increasingly
popular. Wireless networking technology, fuelled by industry standards such as
IEEE 802.11, has produced a number of affordable solutions that are fast
becoming a realistic business benefit for all types of industries where the
installation of network cabling is not practical.
Our chosen standard for wireless installation is IEEE 802.11g. Offering speeds
of up to 56MBits/sec, the wireless connection is ideal for supporting all of the
normal commercial applications such a file sharing, printer sharing, email and
Voice over IP (VOIP). Wireless networking solutions also have applications in
building to building links, where significant costs and disruption can be
avoided when compared to the digging of ducts and the laying in of fibre optic
cables. Laser point to point solutions offer connection speeds of up to
1GBit/sec, making them faster and cheaper than conventional leased line
solutions.
Wireless networking solutions offer:
Mobility
Workers need no longer be tied to a particular desk or even a particular office.
With a wireless enabled laptop and a mobile phone they can be productive
anywhere where there is a wireless signal. Wireless networks can even cope with
working on the move with access points seamlessly handing over from one to
another.
Scalability
No longer are the numbers of users limited by the number of cabled ports
available. The nature of a wireless network lets new users be easily and quickly
connected to the network, thus maximising productivity.
Reduced Costs
The reduced installation time and minimal amount of hardware ensure that
wireless solutions can be a cost effective alternative to conventional wired
solutions. Laser building to building links can be quickly deployed without the
need for planning permission or the granting of way leaves to dig up roads.
Security
Modern wireless networking devices come with a range of built in security
features that ensure, when enabled properly, that only authorised users have
access to your network
Eurocoms offer a number of services to ensure the deployment of the optimum wireless
networking solution:
Wireless surveys by our highly trained technicians will carry out a survey of the
areas requiring coverage and will draw up a specification detailing the number
and location of access points (APs), together with any additional cabling
requirements
Installation
We will install the access points in the appropriate
locations, together with the necessary cabling to link the APs back to the comms
cabinet. Eurocoms can also provide Power Over Ethernet (POE) solutions that enable
APs to be remotely powered
Commissioning
We will set up the wireless network
to ensure maximum coverage with the minimum of interference between wireless
cells. We will advise on the enabling of security features to ensure that the
network is only available to those with authorised access
Eurocoms use only the highest standard of wireless technology. The installation,
security and testing of wireless communications is crucial to its success. We
have the qualified engineers to ensure that your wireless network is fast, safe
and reliable.
