Use of wireless networks in businesses

In a small business, every minute counts, and wireless networks are powerful tools for increasing productivity and promoting of the exchange of information. If your employees have free access to documents, e-mails, applications and other network resources, they can move freely and still use the necessary tools to meet the respective tasks.

These are some of the areas in which companies take advantage of wireless LANs:

Improved mobility and cooperation

• Heading and yet, in conjunction
• More effective collaboration

The user of a wireless LAN can freely move in the office and also go to other floors, without losing the connection to the network. Each participant in a team meeting or a small conference has access to every minute announcements and to all documents and applications on your network. When using voice over WLAN technology, the mobile voice communication is available, too.

Improved responsiveness

• Obtaining the necessary information at the appropriate time
• Provide a better customer service

Customers want quick responses to inquiries and problems. A wireless network can help to improve customer service because employees get to access of the needed information. For example, a doctor in a small practice could access to patient files online while he goes from one examination room to another. A sales representative may examine the available stock, while he takes orders in the presentation room.

Improved access to information

• Making a connection to hard to reach areas
• Optimize processes

Wireless LANs enable companies to provide network access, even where the connection to a wired network would be realized as difficult. For example, it may be practical to equip a warehouse with wireless access points in order to properly examine and easier to manage the stock. The company then receives real-time accurate inventory numbers.

Easier network expansion

• Quickly add users
• Cost-saving removing of the network

Companies that often integrate new employees, or configure new branches must be able to benefit from the flexibility of wireless LAN directly. Desks can reposition itself, and new employees can be included in the network without new cables having to be relocated with adequate labor and expense.

Enhanced guest access

• Provide a highly secure network access for customers and business partners
• Providing an additional service

Wireless network allows your company to offer guests such as customers or business partners with a highly secure wireless Internet access. In retail stores, restaurants, hotels and other businesses serving the public, the wireless Internet are provided as a special additional service.
