Wireless Networking

Wireless networks not only look good to your customers, but and can increase the productivity of your workforce and reduce your infrastructure costs. Depending on the size of your company, wireless networks can also relatively inexpensive. The cost can sometimes be offset against the cost of structured cabling, but for most companies, a mix of the two is best.

It's important to make sure that your wireless network is properly configured. Above all, it needs to be secured. It's amazing how many unsecured wireless networks there are around. By default, data transmitted over a wireless network is not encrypted. It's also transmitted up to a distance of 100 meters or more. This means that a hacker could gain access to your company data, use your bandwidth to browse the Internet, and launch attacks against other networks.

Vulnerabilities in wireless networking security have been well documented in the IT press in recent years, but there are plenty of ways to stay ahead, and remain secure. We'll specify the right solution for your business needs and budget.
