Network Design
The
use of simply a broadband modem and a wireless router is becoming
inadequate for the networking needs of today's internet-dependant
families and businesses. The design of a proper
network is
key to meeting the current needs and future expandability at any given
site. A proper network is not necessarily complicated or expensive.
Some minor equipment and wiring, with a little configuration
work, is often all it takes to make the network hum.
To bring a network up to speed, we sit down with our customers
and evaluate their needs by:
- determining what the network is needed for
- determining where network access is needed
- determining where the networking equipment can be (or is)
installed
- determining what network wiring is available or needed.
Given that information, we will do the research and present a
proposal. Some project situations require more detailed design
work such as access point and other equipment locations and wiring
layouts. These usually require our 3D and 2D CAD drafting
services. Here are some examples:
Video Surveillance Design
For the more complete video surveillance systems, coverage areas
are drawn to visualize what part(s) of the site are to be viewed by
which camera. These are essential to demonstrate that the design
meets the requirements. Sometimes the access points (doors) to
the building are enough and sometimes the property perimeter is
required. Sometimes only a few key areas are required.
Following are some examples of the design work needed in these
situations:
A/V System Design
Equipment sizing and location, rack planning and wiring diagrams
are key complications which often require design work. Following
are some examples:
