When setting up a new office location there are many things to take into consideration before moving in and setting up the office space. One of these things is to make sure you have appropriate power and internet connections near your office equipment. The IP phone is one such piece of equipment that must have both, a power source as well as an internet connection for it to operate properly. With the right products from AIR802 not only are these phones easy to place around the office, but they will actually save your company money over time. How? IP phones run over a data network rather than a voice network like regular telephones do. By not having to pay extra from telephone lines each month your business will save money!

What should you remember when deciding where to install your IP phones? Since these phones connect to a data network, think of them like computers. As mentioned earlier, their two main requirements are a power source and an internet connection. The most ideal situation is to place these phones on a desk next to a power outlet and an internet connect, but this is not always possible. In order to have the freedom to put your IP phone in any location around the office building, you will need a power over Ethernet injector (POE) to act as a power source. If no cable connections are desired, it is recommended that you use a wireless repeater instead. While a power over Ethernet connection uses cables to connect with phones, using a wireless router with or without one or more wireless repeaters can establish the same connection to phones wirelessly.

A high quality power over Ethernet injector is not only a great investment for installing IP phones in any location, but other important office equipment such as desk computers, surveillance cameras, badge or card readers, etc. With this equipment from AIR802 setting up your new office space will be a breeze!

Is your company considering expansion into another office? If so, choosing to extend your current office into the adjacent office building wirelessly could be a cost effective solution while not having to sacrifice security or performance! By purchasing a few AIR802 products you and your employees will be well on your way to having a secure and reliable wireless internet connection no matter which office they work in.

One of the first things that you will need to set up is your wireless network is an Access Point or Radio. The Access Point is the device with which everyone in the office will be able to wirelessly connect to the network. If you want to extend the wireless signal to cover the entire office an antenna cable can be plugged into the Access Point and then taken to the top roof of the building where it can connect with an antenna that will obtain the signal from the building which has the telecommunication room. Many devices can capture signal from the telecommunication room directly; however, having an antenna on top of the building maximizes the signal strength. The devices located in the building in the telecommunication room and in the adjacent building can be connected with an Ethernet cable; however, a wireless option is always more practical.

It is important to remember to install the antenna in a suitable location. AIR802 offers additional antenna wire and can build custom cables to help in this installation. Once the connection is made, both offices will have secure and reliable wireless internet as well as be able to share information with each other over the same network. This will make working in two different locations stress free for all involved. Please visit our site for more information about these as well as other high quality wired and wireless products.

For business owners, the security of your place of work is extremely important. Whether you own a small grocery store or run a larger office building, installing a surveillance system will help give you peace of mind when you are not around. There are a wide variety of different security cameras available, but only certain cameras allow you to view its content from remote locations. For those business owners wishing to install this type of surveillance camera you are going to need a reliable wireless internet connection as well as some high quality AIR802 products.

Nowadays, most office buildings already have some type of wireless access point installed in them. This will make hooking up your surveillance system much easier, but there are still a few things to keep in mind. The first thing to consider is the placement of your security camera. For most people, this is in the upper corner of a wall or on some point of the ceiling. The problem with this is that there most likely are no outlets located in these areas, meaning you will not have a power source for your camera. This can normally be fixed with a power over Ethernet (POE) injector. In cases where your security camera that does not have built-in support for POE, you must purchase a power over Ethernet splitter. This power over Ethernet (POE) splitter separates data and power coming over an Ethernet cable and allows your camera to be compatible with it.

After all these components are identified and installed, you must then check to see if your wifi signal reaches your security camera. Wifi antenna cable will help to extend your wireless signal by allowing you to place antennas in ideal locations throughout the building for your wireless cameras. So make sure to purchase enough antenna wire if you plan on installing many cameras in different places.

It is important for business owners to protect their work place as well as their employees. Take the time to install your surveillance system the correct way to ensure their safety using reliable products from AIR802.

It’s hard to go back to the days where instant information isn’t a reality. The Internet has changed the way we shop, communicate, and live. In recent years, you may have noticed the proliferation of WiFi “hotspots” popping up at your local cafes, libraries, and other public places. Those with a WiFi connection can get on the Web just about anywhere. Before WiFi, a user needed to be hardwired into a connection source but those days are over now, using a wireless router you can get on the Internet anywhere in your home.

A wireless router uses an antenna to send and receive signals from Web-ready devices such as laptops and cell phones and communicate them to the Internet. You may have several computers or devices present in your home. With a wireless router, you can use all of them as long as you can establish a wireless connection without the necessity of having the traditional Ethernet cable which is a good option to send and receive signals, but not as convenient as cable free connection. If the WiFi router’s wireless range isn’t long enough, replacing the current WiFi antenna with a more powerful one might increase the range. When purchasing the WiFi antenna make sure it has the correct WiFi connector for your WiFi router.

Routers can cover an area to encompass most households. That means you can use your Internet devices anywhere in your home. In some cases, you may be able to pick up your signal in the backyard or front porch, opening more doors of convenience. If your home is especially large, you can purchase range extenders or wireless repeaters to increase the range of your router.

Routers have the ability to encrypt the data they are sending wirelessly, there are several types of encryption that are in use today. Two types that tend to be the most secured are WPA (TKIP) and WPAZ (AES). All of these use a user created password. Once your encryption is set up, users will use their specified key to sign onto the network for the first time so unauthorized users would not have access to your network or data. Talk to your wireless vendor about security. If you set your router to create an open “hotspot,” as some public places do, anyone with a wireless card will be able to use your signal, lessening the level of connectivity for you and your family.

Most people rather keep their signals private, but it’s necessary to take a few security precautions. Along with a WiFi connector purchase, look into means of establishing WiFi protection access or WPA. It uses temporal key integrity protocol encryption, which would allow signing on with a password and keeping the public off of your WiFi connection.

Media access control or MAC is another precaution. It uses a computer’s hardware and personal address for Internet access. With this type, you must specify which addresses, or gadgets, are allowed access when you establish you home WiFi network.
