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.
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. We can plan and check coverage using "heat" maps like the one on the left. Long Range Outdoor Wi-Fi Access Point / Bridge 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. Please contact us so we can help specify what is right for your requirements in your location. |
There are three basic set-ups for full building / area Wi-Fi coverage: Lots of Access Points (APs) Full coverage is given to an area just by placing lots of access points in the area, and optimise their positions by use of a Heat Map survey.
Access Points linked to a managed PoE switch The access points are in the same locations as the above but they broadcast multiple network SSIDs, receive Power over Ethernet (PoE) and that switch also enables the VLANs to separate the secure from the insecure traffic
Master controller Access Point system A master central controller is added to the network either localy or via the Internet, all access points connect to it via a managed PoE switch setup, as above. Then you make a change in the controller all the access points get it, rather than you having to log on to every access point to say, change the Wi-Fi password. Where there is coverage overlap the controller balances the load to maximise everyone's throughput
