Status IT Wireless Networking
Benefits of Wireless Networks
Wireless local area networks (wireless LANs) can be less expensive to install and maintain than networks using fixed cabling. They also offer a number of other potential advantages to small businesses:
-
You can extend networks to areas of your workplace where it wouldn't be cost-effective or practical to do so - to an adjacent warehouse or storeroom, for example.
-
Employees have greater flexibility moving round the workplace. So someone checking stock could move around your premises making direct changes to your stock-control system through a wireless-networked laptop.
-
Installing a wireless LAN involves less physical disruption to your workplace than installing a cabled networked.
-
If you rent someone else's premises or are occupying a building temporarily, a wireless LAN is far easier to move than fixed cabling.
-
Businesses operating in listed buildings may face restrictions on the alterations they can make to accommodate a fixed-cable network. Using a wireless LAN bypasses these restrictions.
Another important benefit of wireless LANs is that they're easily scalable and portable. A small but fast-growing business using a wireless LAN can add users to the network without having to fit extra cabling and network sockets. And if the business outgrows its current premises, the network can be moved to a bigger building without leaving an investment in fixed cabling behind.
Status IT will ensure that you get the best from a wireless installation, ensuring that it meets your current needs while being scalable for future expansion.
