WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES

Now gaining ground, wireless is not as simple to deploy as generally imagined.

The points to consider for wireless deployment as undertaken by FastNetworks is as follows:
  • wireless is slow in comparison to standard cabled networks
  • in order to produce good reach and sufficient bandwidth segmentation of the wireless network is required.
  • wireless needs to work with traditional networks elements such as switches
  • security aspects should be considered.

Wireless networking is however unbeatable for:

  • roaming or mobile users
  • temporary and aesthetic appearance.
  • with the increasing requirements for work permits for installing traditional copper cabling, wireless once deployed makes additions, changes and moves much simpler.
