WIRELESS SOLUTIONS
With companies needing more flexibility, the use for wireless
abilities has become almost a standard in network infrastructures.
This being the case, wireless
security is vital. Installing wireless devices that can
accommodate the number of users required is important as to not
degrade their network performance. There are many wireless
devices available on the market. Many cannot support more than
15 to 20 users on a single devices. When checking the
capabilities of the devices take care to remember that they are
sometimes overstated. You should expect that the device will
not be able to handle the amount of users specified.
Some wireless manufacturers are:
- Cisco / Linksys
- Belkin
- Buffalo
- Juniper
- Apple
Internet routers with built-in wireless
For businesses, utilizing the built-in wireless ability of the
Internet routers is not an option. Intelligent Network
Services opinion is to never opt for this option. It will just
cost more and you will not be able to use it. More than
likely, a firewall will have to be installed. The firewalls
placement is just after the Internet router in the Internet
connection chain. This puts the wireless of the Internet
router on the outside of the firewall
and not in the inside where it should be.
