Eagle Networks understands wireless networks. From
design and implementation to advanced troubleshooting and repairs, you
can count on us for your wireless networking needs. Wireless
networks need extra attention to security. Eagle Networks can keep
intruders out.
Wireless networks have had a significant
impact on the world as far back as World War II. Through the use of
wireless networks, information could be sent overseas or behind enemy
lines easily, efficiently and more reliably. Since then, wireless
networks have continued to develop and their uses have grown
significantly. Cellular phones are part of huge wireless network
systems. People use these phones daily to communicate with one another.
Sending information overseas is possible through wireless network
systems using satellites and other signals to communicate across the
world. Emergency services such as the police department utilize wireless
networks to communicate important information quickly. People and
businesses use wireless networks to send and share data quickly whether
it be in a small office building or across the world.
Another important use for wireless
networks is as an inexpensive and rapid way to be connected to the
Internet in countries and regions where the telecom infrastructure is
poor or there is a lack of resources, as in most developing countries.
Compatibility issues also arise when dealing with wireless networks.
Different components not made by the same company may not work together,
or might require extra work to fix these issues. Wireless networks are
typically slower than those that are directly connected through an
Ethernet cable.
A wireless network is more vulnerable
than a LAN, because anyone can try to break into a network broadcasting
a signal. Many networks offer WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy - security
systems which have been found to be vulnerable to intrusion. Though WEP
does block some intruders, the security problems have caused some
businesses to stick with wired networks until security can be improved.
Another type of security for wireless networks is WPA - Wi-Fi Protected
Access. WPA provides more security to wireless networks than a WEP
security set up. The use of firewalls will help with security breaches
which can help to fix security problems in some wireless networks that
are more vulnerable. Eagle
Networks understands how to secure your wireless network from unwanted
intrusions.
