Wireless Networking

Whilst implementing a Wireless Network may save the physical deployment of network cabling and the relevant computer hardware, there is still the subtle tangle of standards that can be used along with the more obvious security based and installation concerns. Switchnet Systems aim to alleviate all these concerns by providing leading edge technologies whilst maintaing an easy to use, secure wireless system.

Switchnet Systems have over 12 years of wireless networking experience for both Internal Wireless LANs , external Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multi-Point networks; using trusted vendors both of our solutions provide a secure, scalable option for network expansion and connectivity where other options, such as fibre optic, leased lines or standard network cabling prove to be too expensive.

External Wireless Links

Using advanced technologies from WaveSight, Switchnet Systems can provide a high performance wireless point to point or point to multi-point link up to 40Km in distance and up to 108Mbps in bandwidth, WaveSight wireless ethernet bridges can provide reliable, secure and rapid deployment solutions for a wide variety of scenarios.

External Wireless Scenarios

• Community and Residential Wireless Broadband
• Last Mile Access
• Enterprise Network Expansion

Internal Wireless LAN

Providing enterprise leading, high performance wireless infrastructure, the Trapeze Smart Mobile system overcomes the existing limitations of current-generation Wireless LANs through the intelligent switching technology. The intelligent switching technology contained within the Smart Mobile family combines a hybrid approach to data transport utilising both centralised and distributed forwarding, based entirely on the requirements of the application used.

The result? Intelligent optimised traffic flow, reduced latency, and ultra-high performance for todays business and tomorrows enterprise.

Internal Wireless LAN Scenarios

• Internal Office Expansion
• Campus Wide WiFi Coverage
• Multimedia Intensive Networks (Voice & Video)
• Warehousing and Stock Control
• Enterprise Security
• Location Based Services

Wireless Benefits

The popularity of wireless LANs is a testament primarily to their convenience, cost efficiency, and ease of integration with other networks and network components. The majority of computers sold to consumers today come pre-equipped with all necessary wireless LAN technology.

The benefits of wireless LANs include:

• Convenience: The wireless nature of such networks allows users to access network resources from nearly any convenient location within their primary networking environment (home or office). With the increasing saturation of laptop-style computers, this is particularly relevant.

• Mobility: With the emergence of public wireless networks, users can access the internet even outside their normal work environment. Most chain coffee shops, for example, offer their customers a wireless connection to the internet at little or no cost.

• Productivity: Users connected to a wireless network can maintain a nearly constant affiliation with their desired network as they move from place to place. For a business, this implies that an employee can potentially be more productive as his or her work can be accomplished from any convenient location.

• Deployment: Initial setup of an infrastructure-based wireless network requires little more than a single access point. Wired networks, on the other hand, have the additional cost and complexity of actual physical cables being run to numerous locations (which can even be impossible for hard-to-reach locations within a building).
