Installation and configuration of computer networks

Today, the presence of internal computer networks for any company has become a necessity. Networks are relevant in any enterprise that uses more than one PC. The main task of computer networks is high-speed and easy access to the data necessary for work. High-quality installation of a local network and its adjustment will ensure stable and comfortable work in any office.

Features of local networks

There are different types of networks - wired and wireless. Each type has its own characteristic features and nuances of laying a local network. Let's look at them in more detail:

Wired networks. This solution is considered reliable and allows you to connect to a PC via a wire, socket, and patch cords. Most modern machines are equipped with a network card, which makes it possible to work with other PCs and on the Internet. The main advantage in this case is the speed, which can be up to 1 Gb/sec. In this case, the distance between the computer and the connected equipment can be about 100 m. Thus, the installation of structured cabling networks is chosen for the reliability and speed of data transfer.
Wireless network. This is another type of computer network that is often used in various companies. The main feature (as well as the advantage) of this solution is the complete absence of wires. Within an organization, a wireless Wi-Fi network is created using an access point and a network card. This option is less reliable, so it is used primarily for connecting to the Internet. In addition, the functioning of wireless networks depends on many external aspects. Organizing and setting up a local network without interruptions is almost impossible. At the same time, the development of the latest standards (802.11n) has improved the speed and reliability of connections. Today, the data transfer speed reaches 300 Mb/sec, and the distance is 300 m. Despite this, it is important to understand that the speed and quality of the connection depend on the distance, electromagnetic environment, and many other external factors. It is also worth taking care of competent and high-quality configuration of the wireless network, since its security largely depends on this.

The optimal computer network option is selected in accordance with the needs, requirements and capabilities of the user.

Benefits of using computer networks

Any company that uses more than one PC should think about organizing and setting up computer networks. By combining the devices you use into one network, you can increase the efficiency of work, data exchange and other processes. As a result, your employees will be able to share or exchange information effectively. Thus, several computers connected to one network bring significantly more benefits than individual PCs.

The use of computer networks can be very versatile and bring great benefits to any business. Let's look at a few examples of effective use:

File sharing. There are often situations when an employee needs to open a file located on another PC. By using the network, you no longer need to waste your time on physical searching, since all employees will have access to the same files.
Collective access to the Internet. Networking allows you to simplify the process of connecting to the Internet for all interconnected computers. This means less additional equipment, cables and other communications. At the same time, it is important to make the correct security settings, then all your data and software will be safe and sound.
General connection to printers and other devices. In most offices, computers are connected to printers. Thanks to a properly organized network, access can be created for several PCs at once. Thanks to this, employees will no longer have to transfer information to storage media or other computers. As a result, work will become faster and more efficient. When organizing such connections, you will need to purchase a special network printer, but its price is much lower than the amount required to purchase several printers for each PC.
Security of information. It is important for any company not to lose access to valuable information. To do this, it is necessary to carry out backups in order to ensure the possibility of system recovery (backup). Using computer networks, you can make copies for all computers at once using one device.

These are just some of the advantages of installing and configuring equipment on a computer network.
