Wireless Network Solutions In Johannesburg

Wireless network solutions are primarily reliant on the hardware components of your IT infrastructure. A comprehensive IT audit is essential to assess the current health of your systems, as network adapters, routers, servers, and range extenders will form the foundation of your wireless network. Once this infrastructure is established, we can assist you in setting up a Virtual Private Network (VPN) for your company and hosting all your network resources in the cloud. Cloud computing serves as the deployment mechanism through which you ensure the security, longevity, and continuity of your wireless network operations. This is particularly critical when the uptime of a VPN must be continuous (24/7), such as in businesses operating in home security monitoring, vehicle tracking, or similar time-sensitive sectors

3 Types Of Wireless Networks

There are three primary types of wireless networks: Wide Area Network (WAN), Local Area Network (LAN), and Personal Area Network (PAN)

1. Wireless Wide Area Networks (WWAN) are commonly employed by cellular networks to provide data and mobile phone connectivity, even when you are outside the range of most other forms of network access.

2. Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) are the office and business network solutions with which most people are familiar. This is what is typically referred to as WiFi. The coverage of a WLAN can vary from a single room to an entire campus.s.

3. Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) have the shortest range. This typically utilises Bluetooth technology and is used to connect compatible devices in very close proximity.

We will assist you in setting up a WLAN network where your digital assets are hosted on a server and you can access them using your office network or a cellular network if you are out of the office.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of A Wireless Network

WLAN solutions are not the end-all and be-all for your digital and IT infrastructure needs. They have both advantages and disadvantages, that need to be managed correctly by skilled IT network management professionals.

Advantages

• Increased Efficiency – With WiFi you can communicate with colleagues and clients alike, including exchanging key data and information.

• High Availability And Ease Of Access – Your network has 24/7 uptime and can be accessed from anywhere at any time.

• Flexibility – You’re flexible to work wherever you decide and connect to the office network using whichever device is suitable.

• Cost-Saving – Managed network services mean that a dedicated IT company will look after the health of your network as a whole, and you don’t have to expend any further resources for that purpose.

Disadvantages

• Security – Wireless network security is of the highest importance when we set up your VPN. Access by unauthorised users must be managed, so that genuine users are free to do their work.

• Installation Problems – You may experience interference with your network if others in your building also use WiFi or if there are other sources of radio interference.

• Coverage – Some buildings have so-called ‘black spots’ where WLAN network coverage isn’t available. For example, a building with steel reinforcement may create difficulties in picking up radio frequencies.

• Transmission Speeds – At times, wireless transmission can be slower and less efficient than a wired network. This is why it’s common for an underlying network to be fiber in order to support the wireless network features.
