| 320423 | 2005-02-01 07:25:00 | We are having new offices built soon and I was asked about cabling for it. I suggested a wireless network and DECT phone system could be worth investigating. Has wireless networking matured enough yet to completely rely on it? does anyone have any suggestions? |

| 320425 | 2005-02-02 09:04:00 | if correctly implimented, it's a great platform. Knowing how to correctly impliment it is the tricky part. How many PC's are we talking? |

| 320426 | 2005-02-02 09:10:00 | Even though wireless is becoming more popular, it still has limitations with distance, speed, security and reliability when comparing to hard wired. Wireless relies on no interference on the channel you choose and if other users in your area use the same channel then problems will appear and a drop in speed. If hardwiring, you should be looking at gigabyte if speed is an issue, either now or in the future. Wireless has its place but if building new premises then I would be going wired. | berryb (99) | ||
| 320427 | 2005-02-02 09:31:00 | We have about 20 pc's. I think the boss wants to save on cabling, but sounds like not a good idea. | wotz (335) | ||
| 320428 | 2005-02-02 10:15:00 | Seeing as the offices are being built. I would opt to run cables into each and every room. If the offices existed already with no cabling. I would use wireless, unless the boss was willing to coff up to get it all wired in at that stage. | Jeremy (1197) | ||
| 320429 | 2005-02-02 11:19:00 | I back the wiring scheme. It is probably cheaper with new offices, as well. You have to run telephone cables so you run the network cables at the same time. WiFi cards don't come free but NICs do. Faster, more secure and more reliable. My two bobs worth. Cheers, Lindsay. |
