In today’s fast-paced world, the right wireless network is the foundation of any business. It ensures that the running of day-to-day online activities are smooth, secure and without disruptions. Companies of all sizes rely on their internet connection for their overall success, so it may be surprising to learn, that it is often not prioritised.
What are the benefits of a suitable wireless network?
- Typically, a router can only communicate with a certain number of devices at one time before the network speed starts to take a hit. With the right wireless network configuration, the slowing down of your connections will be a thing of the past, no matter how many devices are connected
- The wireless network allows connectivity throughout the business site, so mobility isn’t limited
- Having a centrally managed network means better security
- Multiple wireless networks offer secure access for business personnel, guests, customers, partners, and any other access that is required. These networks can be as granular as needed, with different parameters. For example, whether a network can be accessed outside working hours.

How does it work?
Put simply, we create your wireless network by installing however many access points that are needed to give your business full coverage.
The access points (Ubiquity U6 Professional, pictured above) run from a professional switch via ethernet cables (PoE), and the switch accesses the internet connection through a router. Therefore, the only cables used are that of the router to the switch, and the ethernet cables from the switch to the access points.
The access points are then fitted to the ceiling(s) in the agreed room(s), allowing the whole area to benefit from powerful wireless connectivity.
