Wireless network equipment
Wireless network
Tecsys offers advice and equipment for setting up a wireless network, both indoors and outdoors. We advise and assist in optimising the security of wireless networks. The equipment is from Extreme Networks (formerly Zebra Technologies), where we have good experience with stable coverage.
You can also have site surveys (radio coverage measurements) carried out so that the final result gives an overview of the number of access points to be used, which antennas to use and where to place them. This ensures the necessary bandwidth and good coverage in the desired areas.

Access points
We offer a wide range of access points with single, dual or triple radio systems. Access points are available for indoor and/or outdoor networks.
Access points integrate seamlessly into existing networks or can be used to build a new wireless network. All products support IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n technologies.

Site Survey
The Site Survey includes a coverage analysis to make sure you get an optimal network with the correct equipment and a drawing of the exact location of access points and antennas, ready for the electrician to set up all the equipment. In addition to a coverage analysis, we can also conduct a radio noise analysis to ensure that alarm systems, gates and other wireless systems will not interfere with the future network by emitting noise on the frequency.
Security
No network is 100% secure. But the better you secure your network, the harder it is for unauthorised people to gain access. We have IT consultants who can offer advice on optimising the security of your network.
By following some simple advice, you can achieve a reasonable level of security.
Always use encryption
By using encryption, you minimise the risk that unauthorised people can access your network and your data. Use WPA or WPA2. This encryption is the best currently available. If this is not possible, you should use WEP encryption.
Turn off broadcast messages
However, with the right tools, hackers will still be able to find your network, but if you turn off broadcast messages, you may be able to reduce the likelihood of your network being targeted by hackers.
MAC address filtering
Computers and other network devices have a unique identification number called a MAC address. You can make it more difficult for unauthorised people to access your network by only allowing specifically specified MAC addresses to access the network.
Overall level of security
It is important to stress that the precautions are no guarantee that unauthorised persons will not gain access to your data and network. But you can minimise the risk and make it much harder for intruders to gain access.
