Remote and Wireless Networks

A remote network is one which does not require a direct connection to the local area network, and therefore allows employees access to the company’s network from home and other out-of-office locations.

Implementing remote network access allows employees increased flexibility in regards to both time and space, and is increasingly useful to those offering after hours support and communicating with other time zones and for juggling family and life commitments.

A wireless network uses a radio or infrared transmitter connected to its network port so that is can send and receive data without the need for cables. Wireless networks allow for greater flexibility in mobility, office layouts and equipment efficiency.

A wireless network can also save time and money with large, open plan or temporary offices, as it is not necessary to run cables through walls and ceilings. A wireless network is particularly efficient for those companies which move laptops around throughout the day.
