The benefits of installing and managing wireless networks far outweigh
those of wired networks.
Wireless networks are faster and less expensive
to install than wired networks.
With a second-generation wireless system, there is no need to run
power sources to access points because they are powered by CAT5 cable
that adheres to the 802.3af standard. The cost and time to run cable
from building to building is a thing of the past when less expensive,
secure wireless point-to-point links can be established.
Wireless networks are easily adaptable to
new physical layouts.
Changing your floor plan? Need to extend your network to new locations
in your building? With wireless networks, these challenges all but
disappear - just reposition your access points and/or add new ones.
Work that used to take weeks now takes days. In addition, wireless
networks can reach places wired networks cannot, such as outdoor
areas, and be installed more readily in structures where cabling
is difficult, such as listed historical buildings.
Employing new technologies in a wireless environment
is a snap.
Literally. With a properly architected wireless network, you can
snap all sorts of capabilities into place, such as video surveillance
and voice over IP.
