Description
Implementation
of a wired network is a costly and lengthy process. Although a
wired network is scalable, any additions usually will result in added costs.
Hubs used to filter users on a network begin to accumulate while
server and riser rooms become congested with cabling and racks. This
in turn requires additional air conditioning units to be installed
so equipment does not over-heat. The design of a building can also
prove to be a drawback to a wired network as there are typically many
obstacles in the ceiling and risers to work around, such as air
ducts and high temperature areas.
A wireless network
eliminates all of these issues by simply avoiding them while adding
many new network features that go hand in hand with an expanding
network. By placing several access points (AP's) in strategic
locations throughout the working environment, any machine can be
connected to the network via a wireless transmission. By simply
placing an ethernet adaptor in desktops and PCMCIA cards in
laptops, users' machines will be able to communicate with the AP's
surrounding the working area, thus maintaining a constant connection
to the network.

Features
of a wireless network engineered by Sympel:
- Completely scalable network
- Roaming Network - Users can be moved to a
different location and no wiring has to be done as they connect back to the
network wirelessly, while laptops can be used throughout the working
environment without losing network connectivity.
- Implementation costs are low
- Low priced scalability
- Minimal wiring costs
- Less congestion in riser rooms and server
rooms
