WIRELESS LAN (WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORKS)

Wireless networks are becoming ever more popular within the education, public and commercial sectors.  Whilst wireless technology began as a convenient way for mobile workers to stay connected while travelling, it has quickly become a necessity for most organisations and a critical part of their overall network strategy.

As wireless technology has improved in critical areas such as security, higher education and public sector establishments have begun deploying wireless networks more pervasively throughout their premises, not simply for offsite and in-building mobile workers, but for the entire organisation.

Pervasive networks supporting more users and applications require a wireless network that can scale in performance by providing increased throughput while delivering greater reliability and predictability.

Although still not the replacement to fixed cabling, wireless networking is no doubt the future as technology forges forward striving for a cable free networking world. 

Although a single fixed CAT5E/CAT6/6A cable is still required to each access point unit, this does minimise installation costs and visual containment application within sites.

Bandwidth available on wireless access point units are ever increasing. As technology embraces the idea of the wireless LAN, DWM find it is necessary to offer the installation of wireless networking as an essential addition to a well designed network platform, or as an addition to an existing structured cabling network.

DWM are specialists in Cisco and Ruckus Wireless solutions; however as an independent ICT Solutions Provider we can install and offer you impartial advise on any other preferred manufacturer.

DWM retain the relevant digital site survey equipment to perform full wireless site surveys.  A wireless site survey is essential to position access points correctly avoiding possible ‘black spots’.

Wireless site surveys are often free of charge and our design consultant’s knowledge and expertise is openly available to advise and guide our clients toward their wireless networking goals.
