When choosing between wired and wireless networks for your business, first consider your current setup and future needs.
Wired networks offer:
- Faster speeds: Wired connections have higher bandwidth and less interference, resulting in quicker data transfer.
- Greater reliability: Wired connections are less susceptible to interference and signal fluctuations, leading to fewer dropped connections and consistent performance.
- Stronger security: Physical cables make it harder for hackers to access your network.
Wireless networks offer:
- Mobility: Employees can move freely without being tethered to a cable.
- Flexibility: Easy to connect multiple devices and provide access for guests.
- Convenience: No messy cables.
- Cost: Wired networks are generally more expensive to install due to cabling requirements.
A hybrid solution combines the best of both worlds:
A wireless network integrated with a wired network provides flexible access for employees and guest Internet while retaining the advantages of a wired network like speed, security, and reliability.
Ultimately, the best choice depends on your specific needs and priorities. For help figuring out the best solution for your business, contact PTS to discuss your needs and how we can help.
