Network Equipment Explained
Today's Businesses Needs
We live in a world where technology has become an integral part of our lives. Traditionally, it was a mere add-on. But today, it is a necessity. In an era where technology is accelerating industries, every business must maintain a secure, reliable network to keep their users connected to their systems. Ultimately, this foundation rests on network equipment and network devices.
About Network Equipment & Devices
Network hardware or network equipment and network devices are the physical devices that enable the hardware on a computer network to communicate and interact with each other. They allow a network to work efficiently and effectively. With the rise in industries, network equipment and devices are essential for scalability. They aid in successful communication, thus enhancing corporate standards. Besides promoting multiprocessing, the network hardware allows for the easy sharing of resources, data, and software. Some common examples of network equipment and network devices are Wi-Fi access points, routers, modems, backhaul PTP, and outdoor enclosures
A Closer Look at Network Equipment & Devices
You may want to know the best options for your desired application. That’s why, below, we’ve explained in detail some of the most frequently bought network equipment and network devices.
Wi-Fi Access Points
A wireless access point or WAP is a networking device that adds wireless connectivity and creates a wireless local area network (WLAN), mostly in offices or large buildings, acting as a hotspot. Basically, it works as a portal for devices to connect to a LAN. The device features antennae and radio transmitters that facilitate connectivity between the internet and the router. Wireless access points are great for modern businesses because they can handle over 60 synchronous connections each. They can support hundreds or thousands of users and cover up to 300 meters of space. With this device, you won’t have to experience any network interruptions. Besides, you can roam freely from room to room. And as you switch rooms, you won’t realize that the devices shift smoothly from one AP to another without even dropping the connection. WAPs enable you to work anywhere in the office. Additionally, WAPs can provide internet in public places such as restaurants, coffee shops, open-air shopping centers, airports, and train stations as well. Moreover, medium to large enterprises requires access points as they extend the wireless coverage of an existing network and increase the number of users that can connect to it.
Modems
Short for modulator/demodulator, a modem brings internet service into the home by transmitting digital signals over analog telephone lines. It acts as a bridge between your router or computer and the broadband network. It's the modem’s one and only purpose. A computer can’t interact directly with your ISP phone lines because the computer and the internet work on different signal types. Therefore, a computer only understands digital signals (1’s and 0s’). In contrast, telephone lines transmit data in analog form. So, to convert the signals from digital to analog and analog to digital, it’s necessary to have a modem. A modem acts as a signal translator between them, as it translates one signal to another to let computers and telephone lines interact with each other swiftly. There are about three common types of modems: DSL, Cable, and Fiber. They operate via different cable mediums, depending on your ISP. Modems are used in different areas such as Point of Sale (PoS), remote management, maintenance, logistics, data transfers, home security monitoring, gasoline vapor containment system, and others. To enjoy faster speeds, you should buy an updated version of a modem with the latest, efficient technology.
Wi-Fi Routers
To divide the internet connection offered by the modem into multiple lines of service for all of your home's streaming video devices, smart TVs, smartphones, tablets, and laptops, you will need a router. A router is a networking device that connects your devices to the modem. It delivers internet service to the devices in the home via an Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi. It is best for homes and small businesses and is often used to link an office or a home network (LAN) to the internet (WAN). Keep in mind that you won't be able to obtain more internet bandwidth than you currently receive via the modem. There is a possibility that if you have loads of devices connected and active at once, the connection may become dilute, resulting in no good connectivity. At this point, having access to your router's administrative tools can be useful. You may frequently set priorities for which devices receive service first. Some more great features you can get from a wireless router are uptime reports, curfew hours, parental control, and improved password and network security options.
Outdoor Enclosures
An enclosure is a cabinet or box that covers electrical or electronic equipment and protects against electrical shock. And an outdoor enclosure is network equipment that provides a shield to electronic or electrical equipment in outdoor applications, including building electrical and telecommunication rooms, chemical plants, manufacturing plants, mining, oil and gas facilities, and utilities. Enclosures are often constructed of stiff polymers or metals like aluminum, steel, or stainless steel. They are graded to indicate their resistance to hazardous, non-hazardous, and other environmental conditions. In addition, they can also guard equipment against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. The types of equipment that an enclosure can protect include distribution boards, panelboards, circuit breakers, contactors, control panels, switches, pressurization and purging equipment and systems, and telephone cabinets.
