COMMERCIAL & DOMESTIC
Every device in your office is likely connected to the Internet. Sure, WiFi can work wonders. However, hard wired Internet connections via network cabling installation are the most secure way to ensure your employees have a reliable connection to the web.
A lot of business we have worked with have run one cable for each desk, however, it is ideal to run two cables per desk. The reason each desk should have two Cat5/Cat 6 runs is for VOIP phones. Even if you are not using VOIP currently, it is likely you will consider switching by the time you move out of the office. It will cost a lot more to add more runs down the line than it would to run two while office construction is underway.
ADVANTAGES OF A WIRED-NETWORK
A wired network obviously incorporates physical network into the data connection. The wires enable increased security, control, reliability, and speed. Using physical connections might not seem as advanced as the wireless alternative, but it is the superior choice when your data is precious and confidential. If your business values security over hip trends in tech, a wired network is the obvious choice.
Wired connects are always going to be faster and more consistent than wireless connections. If you are connecting to a local database such as Quickbooks, an unstable wireless connection could greatly affect the performance of the software.
Keeping your network wired also insures that the network won’t get bogged down with non-essential traffic. Unauthorized users can’t jump on your network, obviously increasing security. Additionally, those iPhones and tablets might make for a happier workforce, but is that because they are being more productive, benefiting from the increased accessibility of a wireless network, or it is because they are browsing Amazon or Facebook while on the clock?
