What is Networking?

Networking is the service that allows devices to communicate with other devices. More commonly understood, networking is how the Internet is made available to users. There are both wired and wireless networking solutions that you can choose from depending on your specific needs. Structured wiring is an approach to organizing your cabling and running it back to a central location. This method gives your business the technology backbone that provides the infrastructure for all your company’s technology.

If you’re unsure of what networking solution will work best for your organization, don’t fret. Our team can help you determine the best solution and implement it promptly. Contact us today for any other questions you may have!

Benefits of Networking for Commercial Properties

Enterprise-grade networking solutions are vital for your company to ensure seamless communication and collaboration, data accessibility and security, scalability and flexibility, disaster recovery and business continuity, and enhanced customer experience. They also allow you and your employees to enjoy wireless connections, reduced or eliminated dead zones, and stable connections. Let’s examine how robust networking can solve some stressors and advance your business.

 

Security & Surveillance Integration

Networking solutions allow seamless integration of security measures, including surveillance cameras, video recorders, and access control systems. Networking solutions not only protect your data and information but can also help ensure your employees remain safe.

 

Solid Internet Connection

In addition to your AV or automation devices, your employees probably have devices like phones, computers, or tablets that will benefit from a reliable Internet connection. The best results come from aiming higher than you think you need now but don’t settle for less than 100Mbps. Business growth and advancements could require extra padding for stable and reliable connections.

No Confusing Administrative Tasks

Most Wi-Fi systems include a mobile app with instructions to install your system and include suggestions for placing your nodes for optimized coverage. The smart system will automatically select the best Wi-Fi channel and radio band for maximum performance, so your wireless connection will remain strong no matter where you are in the building. You can continue to manage your system with your smartphone, whether you decide to limit Wi-Fi access to particular devices, give specific devices network priority, or adjust your wireless security settings without logging into a confusing admin profile. Additionally, these systems usually install updates automatically, so you won't have to check your app to see what you've missed.

 

Local Area Network

A local area network (LAN) is a collection of devices connected to one physical location, such as a building or office. A LAN allows devices to share things like Internet access, printers, file servers, and other resources. Cisco shares that the rise of virtualization has also fueled the development of virtual LANs, which enable network administrators to logically group network nodes and partition their networks without a need for major infrastructure changes. For example, in an office with multiple departments, such as accounting, IT support, and administration, each department’s computers could be logically connected to the same switch but segmented to behave as if they are separate.

 

Better Coverage in Bigger Buildings

Large buildings, multi-story buildings, or a sprawling campus can bring extensive problems to your network. Businesses typically invest in commercial networking when those problems begin affecting operations. Dedicated wired networking to troublesome spots can help solve those challenges without creating new ones. With a well-designed network, employees and visitors will have stronger and more consistent Wi-Fi without the hassle of needing to sign into new networks as they move through the building. Don’t let the size of your business become a liability. There’s no more avoiding the conference room in the warehouse; business can commence!

Large office space

Backups

Businesses and organizations deal with large amounts of private information regarding employees, customers, financial records and reports, and even intellectual property. A well-planned networking solution can ensure this information remains accessible yet confidential. In a natural disaster or cyber-attack, proper backups will reduce downtime and ensure your secure data is recoverable. Robust network security protocols, firewalls, and encryption techniques safeguard businesses and engender trust among customers and stakeholders.

Scalability and Future Proofing

Copper cabling for infrastructure wiring has been used widely, but now these systems show limitations. A transition to a fiber-based infrastructure will provide you with virtually no limits for higher demands from multiple users in all environments. Fiber optic cabling brings many advantages, such as lower attenuation, superior longevity, and higher speeds. Additionally, fiber optic cables provide 1,000 times as much bandwidth as copper. In copper wiring, 500MHz of bandwidth can be used at distances up to 100 meters before significant degradation occurs. Fiber optic links, on the other hand, can use the same bandwidth over as much as a kilometer or can operate at even higher bandwidths (e.g., 1GHz) for somewhat shorter distances (e.g., 500 meters). For this reason, fiber optic cabling is the best option for scaling your existing business or future-proofing your new one.
