Office and Home Network Systems

For many businesses, the first computer network they need will be confined to a single building. This type of network is called a local area network (LAN). There are two common kinds of LAN: peer-to-peer and client/server.

There are also peer-to-peer office networks that connect two or more computers directly, allowing them to share files or programs. They are particularly suitable for collaborative work.

Client/server networks use one computer as a server - where you keep shared files and programs - which other PCs connect to. This central machine can be a normal PC, although it is best to use a powerful computer or a purpose-built server computer. Some security advantages of these client/server networks include are that: there are more efficient at backing up and handling data – for example users cannot modify files simultaneously; have the capacity of linking to different types of computers and they can support more users more reliably than a peer-to-peer network. Unlike peer-to-peer systems, a failure at a single point in a client/server network will not affect other computers on the network, as long as the server remains intact.

We also provide wireless networking services that have replaced much cabling requirements for a network. Wireless networks provide:

Greater flexibility around the location of your IT equipment

Less health and safety hazards in the workplace, with fewer cables around

Access to Wi-Fi within your premises for visitors

However, depending on the layout of your office, wireless signals can be slower and less reliable than cable connections.

Intercom

We as well provide intercom systems which are two-way communication electronic devices that contain circuitry for the purpose of transmitting and receiving audio and/or video transmissions. Intercom allows a person speaking into a microphone to be heard on a speaker by people in a different room or area.
