Recent improvements in wireless network hardware have made wireless a solid architecture for business networks. Instant access to network resources from a wireless laptop allow the mobile professional to be up and running in record time. If properly configured, even desktop PCs, printers, and other network devices can be managed wirelessly.
When an organization chooses to “go wireless” there are several important things to consider. Most significantly is security. A wireless connection adds another point of vulnerability. If not properly configured, servers, workstations, files, and other important resources can be compromised by anyone carrying a laptop within a few hundred feet of the wireless access point. Because of this growing concern, your Opulent team makes every effort to stay up-to-date on emerging trends in wireless security.
Another consideration is wireless device selection and placement. The size and construction of your facility will significantly impact what type of equipment to use. Often a basic wireless router, costing well under $100.00 will work just fine. On the other hand, larger facilities or buildings with thick walls may need a more advanced option. Our technicians have a great deal of experience in this field and can offer the insight you need.
