Wireless Networks for Small Businesses

Wireless networks are a great solution for enterprises looking to avoid the high cost of cable installation and increase mobility in the workplace. As IP networks delivered through Radio Frequencies (RF), they don’t require the same level of physical infrastructure as wired networks. This makes wireless networks a great fit for historical buildings in Winchester that should not be disturbed in order to maintain their historical integrity. It’s also a good choice for older buildings that may contain hazardous material like asbestos, which cannot be disturbed without serious health risks. In these cases, opting for a wireless network solution can ensure that the building remains structurally sound and any hazardous materials remain undisturbed, while still providing reliable connectivity for the enterprise.

Wireless networks that use FCC licensed frequencies include your traditional wireless carriers such as AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Sprint and T-Mobile.

The following are examples of business wireless network use cases:

  • Internet-working RFID Sensors
  • Outdoor Mesh Connectivity for Campuses
  • Indoor Computer Networking
  • Back-up Internet Access for Terrestrial Services
  • Outdoor Point-to-Point Extension of Networks

Examples of a LAN Network

A local area network may serve as few as two or three users (for example, in a small-office network) or several hundred users in a larger office. LAN networking is comprised of cables, switches, routers and other components that let users connect to internal servers, websites and other LANs via wide area networks.

The following are some basic components that make up a Business Class Network:

  • Network Server
  • Ethernet Switches
  • CAT5 or 6 Wiring
  • Router and Firewall
  • Wireless Access Points

Network Servers deliver IP addresses to users of the network, while also supporting Domain Name Services (DNS) that allows web and email addresses to find web and email servers on the network. Our Winchester team’s network design and installation services include servers that provide a level of security to your network. With our servers, you can set user privileges for clients connecting to the network based on roles and responsibilities within the company. Firewalls provide “front door” protection between your network and public internet.

Netmaker Communications is offering WiFi 6 for businesses in the Shenandoah Valley and surrounding areas.

What is WiFi 6?

WiFi 6 is designed to improve speed, increase efficiency, and reduce congestion in heavy bandwidth usage scenarios. Newer, faster devices, high-resolution streaming videos and cloud-based applications all require high bandwidth, low latency and increased capacity to have maximum performance. In order for multiple devices to perform at their best requires businesses to move to the newest standard of WiFi.

It helps businesses overcome these challenges:

  • Coverage and range, especially through walls and in blind spots.
  • Network and per-device speed, especially when adding more devices.
  • Need for faster and easier setup.
  • Need for smooth configuration and firmware updates.
  • Demand for security and access control.

Who Should Consider WiFi 6?

 

Retail

As the technology advances with Point of Sales (POS) devices and the increase in number, so will the need for sufficient bandwidth and total site coverage. These requirements may require an upgrade in the wireless infrastructure to meet those growing new demands.

Manufacturing

From AI assembly line robots to autonomous delivery trucks, most or all the of new machinery or IoT will require high bandwidth and capacity. An upgrade to WiFi 6 will meet new requirements and capacity.

Healthcare Clinics 

As the healthcare clinic and hospitals moves towards more innovated technologies in x-ray, digital charting, and virtual doctor visits all require a large amount of bandwidth and wireless efficiency. Upgrading to the latest WiFi 6 technology would help ease the high bandwidth demands and expected wireless efficiency.

Public Sector

As the public sector become more technologically modernized, the demand for high bandwidth, wireless capacity, and better WiFi efficiency is a more of a requirement. Libraries, city halls, police offices, and the public sector in general are becoming more technologically advanced and reliant on WiFi and will need the bandwidth, capacity, and efficiency that WiFi 6 offers. An upgrade to WiFi 6 would answer majority of the new technology advancements.
