Wireless Network Design Services
A wireless local-area network (WLAN) provides all the features and benefits of traditional LAN technologies such as Ethernet and Token Ring without the limitations of wires or cables.
Connectivity no longer implies attachment. Local areas are measured not in feet or meters, but miles or kilometres. An IT infrastructure need not be buried in the ground or hidden behind the walls - an "infrastructure" can move and change at the speed of the organisation.
Wireless local area networks can be used in many scenarios:
- IT professionals or business executives who want mobility within the enterprise, perhaps in addition to a traditional wired computer network.
- Business owners or IT directors who need flexibility for frequent wireless local-area networks changes, either throughout the site or in selected areas.
- Any company whose site is not conducive to local-area networks because of building or budget limitations, such as older buildings, leased space, or temporary sites.
- Wireless local-area networks are ideally suited to a company that needs the flexibility and cost savings offered by a line-of-sight, building-to-building bridge to avoid expensive trenches, leased lines, or right-of-way issues.
Wireless local-area networks use a transmission medium, just like wired LANs. Instead of using twisted-pair or fibre-optic cable, wireless local-area networks use either infrared light (IR) or radio frequencies (RF). Of the two, RF is far more popular for it’s longer-range, higher- bandwidth, and wider coverage. Most wireless network LANs today use the 2.4-gigahertz (GHz) frequency band, the only portion of the RF spectrum reserved around the world for unlicensed devices. The freedom and flexibility of wireless networking can be applied both within buildings and between buildings.
We offer our wireless local-area network services to customers in and around the Midlands, UK and surrounding areas including Birmingham, Kidderminster, Stourport, Worcester, Coventry and Warwick.
