With the popular adoption of a range of new wireless technologies true wire-free computing is now possible. With secure and reliable wireless networking hardware available from just £60 for a basic home unit, the benefits of creating your own Wireless Hotspot far outweigh the costs.
Portable Computing
Whether you want to sit on the sofa or in the garden with your laptop,
move freely around the office or just eliminate the complicated wires in your office then wireless networking is the answer. An Access Point (the central "transmitter" of your wireless network) is available from the most basic single home models through to high-security, high-speed and extendable business-level models. The wireless network will operate transparently and can extend an existing wired network or could just be a network in its own right. You can do all the usual network tasks such as shared internet access, printing and file-sharing just as easily.
Most new (all Intel Centrino) laptops come with a wireless network card built-in or are easily upgradable for under £25.
Bridging Offices/Sites
If connectivity is needed between sites within a close proximity of each other, and cabling isn't possible or practical then we can investigate and test the usage of wireless (WiFi) networking to create a large wireless network "hotspot" using additional internal and external aerials and multiple bridged access points to tie the locations together. We have had success with connecting everything from houses around a residential estate to farm outbuildings together using a variety of technologies.
Unable to Cable
Often, in difficult to access or old listed buildings we install secured internal wireless networks as a solution to very difficult, costly and impractical traditional wired networks. This allows the whole area to have desktops and laptops connected together to take full advantage of a fully-featured network.
Cafe/Hotel Customers
You can improve your service to business and travelling customers by providing free wireless internet access.
By having an inexpensive Wireless HotSpot installed, your customers will be able to use the internet and check their email from their own laptop or PDA whilst visiting.
