WIFI or Cable my office Network?

This past week a prospect called for assistance with their network, very slow and problems connecting. Through the interview I discovered that all their computers are connected via a wireless (WIFI) environment. When a business depends on network resources (shared data, applications, printers, etc.) it is critical to ensure network integrity, so all users are productive and avoid loss of employee’s productive time due to downtime and avoid lowering employee morale from the constant interruption of their work flow due to computer related problems. It has been our experience that the best way to connect computers and minimize downtime is to hardwire your business network. Connecting a group of computers via Ethernet (100/1000 Mbps) is still the norm and most effective. WIFI is an excellent way to provide guest and non critical connectivity access to network resources or to the Internet. We had this same concerned asked of us last year from another organization that was planning to implement a 100% WIFI environment at their new building, we convinced them by making a solid case that WIFI is not ready for business critical applications. The expense to cable the new building with an Ethernet infrastructure will be worth eliminating problems with WIFI later on. Here are a number of factors that can cause access point signal to deteriorate and have low network performance or to simply to stop working. And this could be intermittent, sometimes it works and other times it does not and could be hard to troubleshoot just by its very nature. In many instances any appliance that operates on the same frequency level (2.4 GHz) as 802.11b or 802.11g can cause interference with your wireless network, the source could be from your neighboring business within your building, next door, across the street, etc. Be sure to keep cordless phones, microwaves and other electrical equipment at least 3 feet away from any access point. Devices using the same radio channel, will cause interference and could also be the culprit. Even the equipment from your manufacture may be the determinant factor of why you are having WIFI issues (consumer class vs. business class or stronger vs. weaker) better equipment cost more and has more feature to mitigate connectivity problems and more configuration choices and cost more to manage. We have found wireless networking to have many security issues; there are a great number of security risks associated with the current wireless protocols. Hackers have found wireless networks relatively easy to break into, and even use wireless technology to crack into wired networks. As a result, it's very important that enterprises define effective wireless security policies that guard against unauthorized access to important resources. Many of our prospect clients do not understand how important enforcement to wireless security and what it means. The risks to users of wireless technology have increased as this service has become more popular and easier to deploy. After all these findings and for Peace of Mind, insurance of a higher performing network, less downtime, increased employee morale and a more secure environment. I will continue to recommend that you hardwire your office with Ethernetstandard cabling (Cat5e/Cat6.) And use WIFI limited to guest network to avoid having problems with slow performance, network interruption, loss of signal, security, etc… It is priceless when you think about it. The cost to hardwire your network is very well worth the investment. The cost of a WIFI network may seem lower at first. But in the long run it is more expensive.

Day without my electronic leash.

This past week my cell phone failed. I felt disconnected from the world. I took as a forced break. There is nothing I can do about it anyway. What would you do if your cell phone failed? Would you be stressed or would you take a break?
