Wireless access networking support & installation


Wireless networking installation, optimization & consulting, Vancouver

Netdigix offers wireless access configuration services for small and medium sized businesses. Wireless access is great for mobility around the office if you have laptop users, Tablet PC's or users that visit the office and do not require a hard wired ethernet link.

¤ Setup a wireless network
¤ Add additional wireless access points
¤ Secure your wireless network
¤ Wireless printer setups

Wireless access security

Without securing your wireless access points you are leaving yourself completely vulnerable to the outside world. Anyone with a laptop or wireless device within your access point range can easily connect to your network and launch attacks, sniff network traffic and steal your data such as files, banking information and passwords. These hackers or intruders can also launch malicious activities such as sending spam and downloading/viewing illegal content. At netdigix we will help you take all the necessary steps to secure your wireless network with such technologies as WEP and high encryption keys.

Optimize and troubleshoot wireless networks

Netdigix can help you troubleshoot broken or low performing, unstable wireless networks and help to optimize its performance. We have tools that can best determine how to get the most signal strength from your wireless network.

Wireless Printers & printing

Printers can now be wireless on the network by configuring wireless print servers or implimenting Network over Power (power lines/Wall outlets). This enables printers to be located at any location in the office and non dependant on a Network drop/Ethernet port being located there.

Different types of wireless access

There are 3 types of standard wireless protocls that Netdigix supports which are 802.11a 802.11b and 802.11g.

802.11g
802.11g offers speed, reliability and a great price point, it is the fastest non commercial speed wireless access device available to the small and medium sized business market. 802.11G offers the cost and range of 802.11b with the speeds upwards of 54mbps in single-channel mode, and up to 108mbps in duplex (2-channel broadcast) or SuperG mode. 802.11g is backwards compatible with 802.11b.

802.11b
This is the wireless standard with the largest user base, as it was the first to mix ease of setup with low cost. 802.11b offers a great range of 300-500 feet (although greater distances can be reached with bridges, antenna amplifiers and other signal boosting hardware) depending on obstructions such as walls and other radio frequencies. 802.11b can reach speeds of 11mbps.

802.11a
802.11a is a 54mbps standard that operates in the 5GHz range. It uses a signal that is broadcast on more than one frequency at the same time, making antenna design for this application a little more complicated because you must have fairly broad frequency sensitivity for it to work properly. This version of 802.11 is generally costs more to implement.

802.1n
802.11n is still under development and should greatly increase the speed of wireless networks. Many 802.11 wireless device makers have already started selling and marketing their wireless routers as 802.11n.
