The answer is an unsatisfying “it depends.” Both wired and wireless connections have their benefits and drawbacks. Most organizations ultimately end up using a combination of the two.
You should consider the following when deciding what type of connection to use:
- Speed. Just because wired connections are faster doesn’t necessarily make them better for every user.
- Security. Wired connections are more secure because wireless connections rely on transmitted radio signals that can be intercepted if not encrypted using encryption such as WPA2 standards.
- Cost. This is where wireless networks often shine at short term. Long term wireless requires maintenance and upgrades.
- Flexibility. Wireless doesn’t require technicians to move users. Tracking inventory using scanner require wireless solutions.
- Availability. There are cases when running a cable is impossible, to expense or not recommended. This gap can be accomplished with the right wireless device specially design for inside or outside environment.
Bottom line the best network type is the one based on your needs. telecom CTi can help business to implement and secure the right solution.
