Will the Dispute over Wired vs Wireless Ever End?

Article Category: Computers and Technology

Introduction

Computer networks as well as internet connections have altered the face of computing, enabling people as well as gadgets around the world to communicate with each other as if they were situated in the exact same area. Computer networking, wireless as well as wired, is not going anywhere. Looking at the disadvantages and advantages could guarantee that your company's network is not more of an obstacle compared to an asset.
While a frustrating number of IT users as well as experts extoll the advantages of wireless networking, they usually fail to point out there are some significant disadvantages to utilizing wireless. Wired and wireless networks are not developed equal and need not be thought about as interchangeable. Although the world around us keeps pushing toward a wireless nirvana; streaming songs as well as video clips to numerous gadgets, computer systems, televisions, mobile phones, tablets and a lot more devices. Is wireless the appropriate solution for a small business?

There is a variety of reasons to make use of wireless networking; less initial expense, ease of use and simplicity of movement are a few of the factors validating the use of a wireless network. Though these are great reasons to implement a wireless only network, care must be taken throughout the execution of a wireless solution.

The Disadvantages as well as Advantages

There are many factors to consider when it comes to wired vs wireless networking. My target is to provide the details in an easy to understand method that will certainly permit an informed choice of the very best solution for your company. To do that I believe a contrast of the benefits and drawbacks for both wired and wireless will certainly complete that target.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Wired Networking

Pros
Cabling Distance
Twisted Pair
10BaseT cat 3 - 100m
100Base T, cat 5 - 100m
1000BaseT, cat 5 - 100m

Fiber Optic
100BaseFX 2m-- 40,000m
1000BaseSX 250m-- 550m
1000BaseLX 550m-- 3000m

Integrity
A wired network is stable & secure. When set up and verified, the cable will function at the same speed and reliability between points A and B every time unless something harms the cable.

Speed
By far copper or fiber is faster compared to any type of existing WLAN remedy offered today. Perhaps at some point in the future wireless will exceed wired. However, I do not believe that will take place soon.

Security
A wired network is not as susceptible to attack. In order for someone to attack or eavesdrop on a wired network, they must physically connect to the system. (Note: this does not account for attacks from the internet side of the network.)

Ease of Use
Presuming everything behind-the-scenes is equivalent, a wired network is as easy as connecting in a patch cable. There are those that will certainly differ. For the ordinary staff member wired is easier.

Cons
Cost
While the expense of the wire is economical, the expense of installation is not. You could anticipate to pay somewhere around $125 - $200 each cable run. Some contractors will discount that rate depending on the number of cable runs involved.

Flexibility
Wired networking is not versatile. The only versatility you have is the length of the patch cable.

Portability
The wiring for a network is permanent. Therefore, when you change locations the wiring investment is lost.

Space
A wired network requires some dedicated space on premises. This may be as little as a wiring closet or as big as a server room. Some facilities may require multiple spaces because of the network design or building layout.

Mobility
In a wired network, the word mobile has no meaning. When you are tethered to the wall, your mobility ends with the length of cable you are using.

Safety
There are cables running on the flooring, throughout the space and possibly down the hall. In most cases, the wiring closet for the network looks like a substantial rat's nest and a fire hazard. The saying out of sight out of mind is the best description for wiring closets.

Power
Multiple devices imply additional power usage. The number of network storage rooms I have seen with insufficient power is ridicules. Generally, in a network room there is a lack of power outlets and voltage to connect equipment too safely. The additional equipment will use more power increasing the cost of operating the network.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Wireless Networking.

Pros
Mobility
With wireless, you are free to move about without a tether. You could be working at your desk, take your laptop or tablet to the conference room for a meeting and continue to have accessibility to each one of your documents.

Convenience
Wireless networking is remarkably hassle-free. There are no cables to drag around or looking for a wall jack. Merely turn on your device and start working.

Multiple Devices
If your device has wireless capability, you can utilize it on your network. Every day the list of wireless capable devices is growing. Computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, televisions, gaming consoles, DVD/Blu-ray players, refrigerators, security systems and many more devices that are on the market now and waiting to be released are all wireless capable.

Cons
Security
Wireless has some gaping holes when it comes to security. The biggest problem is that a wireless signal is easily intercepted. Once intercepted a hacker has all the time they want to break the encryption and possibly use the information against the small business.

Speed
Wireless speed inside the WLAN is not stable. Many factors play into the speed issue, the biggest one is the clarity of the signal. Radio frequency interference (RFI) will play a big part with signal clarity. Additionally, signal strength is an issue. Signal strength will degrade quickly depending on what is between point A and point B.

Distance
Speed and distance work hand-in-hand. The further away from the signal the slower the devices will transmit. In addition, the more static or RF interference there is the less distance can be covered with a reliable signal. The 802.11n specification provides for approximately 50m (164 ft) of distance for a reliable signal. The only problem is you cannot count on that much distance consistently.

Network Congestion
Wireless routers/access points have a limit on the number of simultaneous transmissions that are made at any one time. Some will even limit the number of connections that are made at any point. These limitations cause network congestion, slowing down the network because of usage.

Combining Wired and Wireless
If I had to select wired or wireless as the solitary technology I could utilize, I would certainly go with a wired network. The great news is, you can have the best of both by making use of a hybrid system. Yes, you will have to address some security issues. Nevertheless, compared to the downside of not having any wireless capability, which limits the devices you can use on the network, it will be well worth the investment.

Conclusion
One solution does not suit all businesses when it comes to the subject of wired vs wireless. Get in touch with a professional that can aid you in reviewing your requirements. They should suggest the appropriate hardware and technology and provide you with a professional installation so you experience the maximum benefit from your financial investment. Making the financial investment into expert solutions now will certainly provide you long-lasting results.
