Networking
Make the most of your IT resources
We offer a comprehensive set of network solutions for the business office,
enabling you to get the most from your computing equipment. Our network
solutions cover the planning and installation including the provision
of all equipment, cabling and any necessary software configuration.
If cabling is a problem, then consider wireless networks to connect
your kit together.
Why network PC's ?
Connecting your PCs via a network enables you to share your IT resources
between all the PCs on the network.
- Data files: store important data on more than 1
PC for security. Share these files between all PCs on the network
- Printers: connect more than 1 PC to your printer
so that the kids can print their homework and you can print your bank
statement.
- Internet connections: share your Internet connection,
either dial-up or Broadband, between several PCs. All PCs can browse,
chat and email at the same time - no more queuing up to get on to the
internet. If you have Broadband then you can all surf and still use
the telephone for voice calls.
Wired or Wireless ?
Is it best to have a wired network or a wireless one? There is no hard
and fast rule on this one and sometimes it best to have a bit of both.
Using cable to connect your PCs provides a faster connection with speeds
of 100Mbits/s being common these days – new PCs will not be less
than this. The latest wireless connections are currently around 54Mbits/s
although the much slower 11Mbits/s standard is still very common. These
speeds are fine for general office type activities but will start to
suffer if very large data files are transferred or remote installations
are required. Our advice is to cable wherever practicable and use wireless
where it is not.
