NETWORK SOLUTIONS GROUP WIRELESS SOLUTIONS: Don't Be Bound By Cabling Restrictions!

Is your business bound by the restrictions of cables? Wireless LANs (local area network) enable computer users within an office to communication with each other without the physical limitation of wires and cables. For the business with more than one building, Wireless WANs (wide area network) enable communication between buildings.

How does it work? Wireless LANs and WANs use radio frequency (RF) technology to transmit data over the air combining data connectivity with user mobility. With wireless technology, users can access shared information such as the Internet, e-mail, data, printers, etc. without the need to physically "plug-in."

Wireless technology, while not new, has only recently become cost-efficient, secure and fast enough to make it accessible and practical for most businesses. Alaska Computer Brokers has the experience and expertise to design and implement wireless technology in your business.

According to Russell Ball, owner of Alaska Computer Brokers, "Wireless Networks are changing the way workers collaborate, meet and manage projects. Wireless technology can provide new functionality and productivity to your existing systems."

Alaska Computer Brokers has partnered with Cisco Systems, the industry leader in wireless technology. Through this partnership and rigorous training, Alaska Computer Brokers has attained Cisco's Wireless LAN Specialization recognition.

A wireless network built on Cisco technology can provide you a secure reliable connection. Cisco has gone way beyond the security standards that were established as part of the 802.11 wireless to improve on them and provide you award-winning security that is beyond what any other vendor offers.

Wireless LANs and WANs offer many advantages over traditional wired networks:

1. COST-EFFICIENCY: Save money on maintenance and other recurring charges.

2. MOBILITY: Authorized users only have to be within range of the wireless access point in order to gain access to the network. Movement is quick and easy.

5. FLEXIBILITY: Business owners and IT managers...
