Wireless networking is a relatively new technology that is shaping the way businesses access their information.

COST SAVINGS

Installation in difficult-to-wire areas
Wireless networks offer many cost savings when installing in difficult-to-wire surroundings. For example, in homes where there is no interfloor spacing and where obstacles separate the offices you want to connect. A wireless network can offer significant long-term savings. You will also benefit if your building is historical or if asbestos presents a problem.

Increased reliability
Cable faults are the most frequent cause of network downtime in business today. Wired network users or even office cleaners may accidentally disconnect the PC. Cables can also become eroded by moisture. With a wireless network, cabling is taken out of the equation – reducing the downtime and the cost of replacing damaged cabling.

Reduced installation time
Wireless networks get your network up-and-running faster. Running wired cabling can be a tricky business. In older offices, conduits have to be created and holes have to be drilled into walls. This can significantly increase the time taken to complete the installation.

Long-term cost savings
If you are a young, expanding company, you may frequently have to relocate your offices. This can be expensive if you need to cable each new office. With a wireless network, you just pick up the PC and move it to another location.

MOBILITY

Wouldn't it be nice to pick up your e-mails using your mobile phone and laptop? With a Bluetooth-enabled phone and laptop, you can do just that. Configure your phone with your laptop and you will always be able to e-mail your business contacts, wherever you are.

In the UK, there are more and more wireless hotspots available. They enable a laptop or personal digital assistant (PDA) user to connect their device to the Internet. So you can check your business banking details when waiting for your plane at Heathrow.
