Wired solutions, throughput up to 1 gigabit per second
With cutting edge high bandwidth technologies such as Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP), Video Instant Messaging, NetBoot, and NetInstall it's important to consider strengths of an Ethernet wired network. Planning for the long term will prevent future network bottlenecks, for example when multiple users are engaged in VOIP, Video IMs, or size intense file sharing.
Technology has definitely progressed; there are currently two popular wired Ethernet technologies.
- 10/100 Mbps Catagory 5e Ethernet.
The most widely used standard, offering lower priced components and maximum compatiblity with nearly all computers in use. Provides sufficient bandwidth for most small to medium workgroups.
- 100/1000 Mbps Catagory 5e / 6 Ethernet.
Cutting edge, although backwards compatible with 100 Mbps enabling a phased roll-out. Ideal for network intense workgroups, Netboot kiosks, and high traffic intranet backbones.
Key Wired Ethernet Benefits
- Robust security. Much more difficult for external LAN intrusion.
- Faster Throughput; 100 or 1000 Megabits per second.
- Higher Quality of Service. Wired twisted pairs, resulting in less chance for interference. Less software driver overhead.
We can assist at any level;
- Planning and Deployment
- Hardware Installation and/or Upgrade (including 19" Racks)
- Custom length Ethernet cable making with testing
- Wall Ethernet / Telco Jack Installation and/or Upgrade
Wireless isn't just for coffee shops anymore.
Wireless networking options are becoming increasingly robust and as fast and secure as a wired networking connection. Businesses, home users, and travellers have discovered the ease of use and flexibility a wireless network offers.
However, it is vital that a Wireless network be setup correctly to prevent unauthorized access and operate at peak performance. We can assure that your wireless network will be password protected, transmission encrypted, and hidden if you choose.
802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n what does it all mean? Which is right for us?
We'll find the best solution for your needs, based upon user load, proximity to the base station, local interference, and client workstation capability.
What sets us apart is that we've been doing wireless for years, at SpectrumSpot.com. We will always perform a wireless site survey to insure that you'll have minimal interference and an equal quality of service throughout your wireless network's radius.
