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
The WS2000 Wireless Switch from Motorola is a market leading, powerful
all in one solution that simplifies and reduces the cost of owning and
managing wired and wireless (802.11a/b/g) networks in Enterprise branch
offices. The integration of router, gateway, firewall, PoE (Power over
Ethernet) eliminate the cost of purchasing and reduces the complexity
of managing multiple pieces of equipment.
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).
