A
wireless
(Wi-Fi) WLAN is a wire (cable) free
local area network, extended on a limited area, depending upon
the equipments that are being used and their power, which allows
data transfer and internet using radio waves.
Eliminating all types of cables, enables a higher network
elasticity/flexibility, which can be configured in an optimum
way by professionals to satisfy the needs of each end-user.
It's good to know that the equipments are not efficient without
being correlated with the professionalism of the installation
and configuration team. This is the reason why so many clients
contact us after being disappointed by the low efficiency
of their actual terrestrial or wireless network, although
they did install the latest generation equipments with high
overall costs.
Our team designs internet networks or wireless distribution
networks (Wi-Fi) using strict measurements
based on site-surveys, absolutely independent for each client
or ISP.
We also implement already configured wireless and radio networks
and solutions for corporations with coverages of 3 Km, 5 Km
or 20 Km radius, like the iDirect solutions are, that have
already implemented the administration interface for 200 end
users. These solutions are generally applicable to large societies,
industrial companies that have large surfaces to cover with
direct visibility, and who need vital mobile communications
for their employee's. These solutions are preconfigured for
a large, but also a constant number of users, so they are
not applicable for a growing ISP, or an ISP in transition,
or networks having future projects, because there are hardware
limitations.
For ISP clients, or for networks in transition with a large
surface to cover and a growing number of users, a principal
network is created, which later develops by adding additional
equipments and bridges, the structure being adapted exactly
for the future network.
It's good to know that Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi)
represents a category of products compatible with WLAN
standards based on IEEE 802.11. The new standards
that preceded 802.11 specifications, like 802.16 (WiMAX),
are part of the actual networks and offer lots of improvements,
from larger coverage areas to higher rates of transfer.
Generally, Wi-Fi networks can lose due to the wrong conception
of the network, improper equipment, too far distances or natural
phenomena (rain, snow, fog). Applicable laws limit the standards
and power of the equipment and in the same time the spectrum
for applicable frequency, reason for
conceiving the network with regard to the parameters imposed
by low, represents a great challenge for our specialists.
differences between terrestrial networks and a wireless radio network are multiple, the wireless networks bringing many benefits:
- Unlike other radio wave systems or networks, Wi-Fi uses
a radio frequency spectrum that doesn't need a license, so
the user doesn't need approval for utilization.
- It allows the development of a local WLAN network without
using any cables, reducing the necessary costs for the development
of the network and avoiding different obstacles in implementation.
- Wi-fi is a global standard, which means that Wi-Fi clients
can work in different countries.
- Various possibilities to connect the final user, through
WLAN plug-in cards like PCMCIA, PCI, USB
or various Wi-Fi systems like 802.11a or 802.11b or
802.11g integrated in most of the modern notebooks.
- Alternative or combined possibilities for building the network
using Wi-Fi equipments, unidirectional or bidirectional, sectorial,
directional or omnidirectional Wi-Fi antennas, access points
with different powers and different gains.
The conclusion is that a performant wireless network is based
on high quality equipments and the most important... specialized
technicians in radio transmissions to implement it.
