Wireless networking has many benefits that can improve IT flexibility
and costs :
Cheap (compared to structured cabling).
Scaleable.
No physical limitations (radio waves can pass through walls and over roads).
Easy to set up.
The big drawback is that many wireless
networking products are currently difficult to install in a secure manner.
At MCR technologies we can provide secure wireless network
solutions through the use of Virtual Private Networking (VPN) technology.
Adding the VPN layer to your network ensures your data is encrypted to
a very high strength such that only the most powerful military computers
could feasibly decrypt it. This ensures that even if the underlying Wireless
network is compromised, your data is still safe. In addition VPN technology
allows you to securely authenticate any users or computers that attempt
to connect to your network preventing eavesdroppers maliciously entering
your business systems.
Wireless networking is a new and rapidly emerging technology
with such things as the 802.11g standard providing improved bandwidth
rates and improvements to native security mechanisms such that the security
additions required now could be dispensed with in the future. MCR Technologies
are keeping abreast of the latest developments to ensure you implement
the most effective technology, securely, and at the right price.
