Cabling &/or Wi-Fi
Once you have people working anywhere, you need to connect their computers, phones etc to each other and to the rest of the world. This has meant cabling, we can cable your office/home to CAT5e or CAT6 standards, and we can also enable Wi-Fi links for those devices not physically connected.
Between buildings we can run cable or Wi-Fi links. We supply Wi-Fi that will work up to 5km with a clear line of site.

Cabling Modern telephone systems use CAT5 wiring, originally designed to connect PCs together. The advantage of using CAT5 structured cabling is that as your office moves you would always have a pair of points close to any desk location. These points can be used for phone, fax, computer, printer, etc. giving you complete flexibility in office layout without the need to call in cablers for rewiring. Traditional telephone systems used CAT3 cabling, with the socket directly cabled to a port on the phone system. We can takeover this phone cable and give it a CAT5 like presentation enabling phone extensions to easily be swapped around. These outlets will only support voice. We can provide a quote, either a full site survey or working from plans with photos. This covers from providing the cabinet with the trunking, taking the cable all the way to the sockets thought the building, through underground ducts, across overhead spans. We can provide the complete solution from building site stage to working office. We can work weekends and out-of-hours to minimise disruption to your office. Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi comes in three speeds (10Mbs, 54Mbs, 300Mbs) and two frequencies (2.4Ghz, 5Ghz), just adding more units do not necessarily make things better, as often that means more interference which gives slower speeds with poorer coverage. The 2.4Ghz band has been used so much that in many areas it is so congested that people just can't get a stable or fast connection. The 5Ghz band which was just used for specialist applications is now being made generally available so you can now get a better quality signal even in the most populous areas. Within a building if a single unit won’t provide coverage, you need to look at a master control unit with a number of slave stations enabling you to roam all over the site without losing signal as one slave unit hands over to the next. If you need to save money and don’t roam but need signal everywhere than a series of independent units could be better for you. Wi-Fi can be used to link different buildings together / back to a main centre for both data and telephone calls. We have set up and support systems that cover many kilometres.
