Wireless & WLAN’s
With an increasing number of people working remotely it has become important to provide team members with access to a central network, including devices such as PDA's, laptop's and phones, whilst maintaining flexibility.
WLAN's provide wireless network communication over short distances using radio or infrared signals rather than traditional network cabling.
A WLAN typically extends an existing wired local area network. WLANs are built by attaching a device called the access point (AP) to the edge of the wired network. Clients communicate with the AP using a wireless network adapter similar in function to a traditional Ethernet adapter.
Network security remains an important issue for WLANs. Random wireless clients must usually be prohibited from joining the WLAN. Technologies like WEP and WPA raise the level of security on wireless networks to rival that of traditional wired networks.
Intelenet can provide both corporate and SME's with the design and installation of wireless networks, from an initial Site Survey through to onsite cabling and deployment. We can cater for the larger environment for a central office or, alongside our VPN solutions, provide that essential mobile access for when you are out of the office.
