You may need more or you may need less bandwidth depending on a number of factors. Contact us for more details

Network Installation and Setup

After the design is complete and the recommendations are reviewed we can complete the installation and manage the project from start to finish. This includes ordering and planning the Internet access services (If needed) schedule the cablers (If needed).

New Home Networking Options.

 

There are several ways to get your Home or Small Office networked quickly and with products you can install right off the self. Traditional wired networks are the most common and the most robust networks available. These are the same networking standards used by almost all Corporate America, so just about any network enabled device you buy (Computer, Printer, Scanner, etc,.) will work on any wired 10/100 Ethernet Network.

Wireless Networking is also very prevalent in Homes and Small Offices, but there are other options. Networking Via Power Circuits is a newer technology that's worth a look.

Siemens Powerline brings you affordable, high-speed networking using the wiring already built into your walls. This breakthrough technology transforms your home's AC power wiring into a high-performance network, making it easy to configure a new network or expand an existing one.

 

PC World Review

 

As we see it this is a great step forward in the ability to quickly network a Home or Small Office, the down side is since this is running though your existing power lines, who do you, call if you experience problems? Most, if not all, networking support services are not knowledgeable enough to effectively troubleshoot this type of network. And fewer still are licensed electricians. So what you may end up with is the Networking person pointing to the Electrical systems and the Electrician saying nothing wrong here you have Power!

 

All in all it is a quick way to get your Home or Small Office up and running quickly, but if you have problems you may have to try one of the other networking options.
