Wireless
Wireless networks release the benefit
of your network resources to mobile users, and frees the company
from fixed network access points.
Wireless LANs offer huge convenience.
Laptop users can take their computers with them into meetings
and still remain accessible. Desktop users can be more easily
moved around the office without the need to get networking
installers to add new network sockets, change wiring or the LAN
configuration. Enterprises benefit from productivity gains as
well as cost reductions.
What is Wireless Networking?
Wireless networks utilize radio waves to maintain communication
channels between computers and other network devices and
servers.
Can the wireless signal penetrate
walls?
Yes, to an extent. Depending on the density of the wall
material, there may be some loss of signal. This is a minor
issue with standard interior wall materials, and in-building
wireless LANs are very common.
Is wireless security an issue?
Yes, Wired networks are typically more secure than wireless
environments due to the fact that an individual must physically
plug his/her computer into a wall jack in order to use the
service (i.e. browse the web or send email). With a wireless
network, the network signal is transmitted through the air thus
posing a higher risk of interception. It is very important that
encryption is enabled on your wireless network.
