10 Reasons why TRUEratetm Wireless LANs are better than Wired LANs for the Corporate Enterprise
1: Equivalent data throughput to an average workgroup wired LAN
TRUEratetm delivers the data throughput necessary for most demanding business computing applications. An average corporate workgroup, wired for 100 Mbps. LAN, shares an uplink connector to the corporate servers and/or internet connection comfortably. A single wireless LAN channel of TRUEratetm can deliver up to 2/3rds equivalent data throughput. Multiple channel wireless LAN topologies can easily equal or surpass the data throughput of a 100 Mbps. workgroup hub.
2: No Wires
Perhaps it goes without saying, but the only wires in a TRUEratetm corporate wireless LAN are for the Access Point infrastructure. Once the AP’s are installed, the network wiring need never be touched again.
3: Built-in redundancy
TRUEratetm wireless LANs consist of an infrastructure of multiple AP’s, located throughout the enterprise. In most cases, all physical locations are covered by 2 or more AP’s. No single point of failure exists between the end-user’s wireless mobile device and the wired infrastructure. In most cases, the loss of one or more AP’s will have no end-user perceivable difference on data throughput and network service.
4: Mobility
TRUEratetm wireless LAN infrastructures provide seamless coverage throughout the corporate office space. An end-user is never out of range of an Access Point. The end-user doesn’t have to worry about a co-worker standing in the way of the Access Point, corrupting their network connectivity.
5: Built-in quality of service and traffic flow differentiation
TRUEratetm wireless LANs fully leverage the recent IEEE 802.11 Working Group standard’s work on Quality of Service, (“QoS”), protocols, by incorporating QoS traffic flow identification without any additional network overhead or loss of network efficiency.
6: Eliminates many networking equipment installation and configuration errors.
Impossible to inadvertently create traffic bottlenecks by incorrect networking equipment, wiring, installation and configuration.
7: No end-user accessible cables or connectors
Wireless LANs do not use cables, connectors or other potential points of failure, prone to end-user accidental damage. As TRUEratetm devices are integrated directly onto the motherboard, no potential damage to wireless LAN PC cards due to end-user manipulation will exist.
8: Eliminate network installation and deployment time
Installation of TRUEratetm Access Points does not require any site surveys, interference studies, or other complex procedures, in contrast to 802.11 Wireless LANs.
9: Safe and Aesthetic
No network wires, means one less unsightly and potentially hazard in the office environment.
10: The Future
Development of technologies enabled by TRUEratetm will continue to expand the available wireless bandwidth for data communications.
