A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated devices that share a common communications line and typically share the resources of a single processor or server within a small geographic area (for example, within an office building). Usually, the server has applications and data storage that are shared in common by multiple computer users. A local area network may serve as few as two or three users (for example, in a home network) or many as thousands of users (for example, in an FDDI network).

Wavex can design or reconfigure your network to give you the maximum performance. Wavex can isolate bottle necks or individual machines which may require greater data transfer rates.

Your current network may be sufficient, but badly configured, Wavex has the tools to diagnose potential problems. You may be surprised how easily it is to increase the performance of your current network.

A WAN (wide area network) is a geographically dispersed telecommunications network and the term distinguishes a broader telecommunication structure from a local area network (). A wide area network may be privately owned or rented, but the term usually connotes the inclusion of public (shared user) networks. An intermediate form of network in terms of geography is a metropolitan area network (metropolitan area network).

If you have more than one site, and wish to be able to either share documents or share your current infrastructure (servers, e-mail etc.), you will need a WAN.

Wavex can organise the installation of leased lines or ISDN lines to facilitate and connection to a remote site. Wavex can install backup lines to prevent any downtime in case of a leased line failure.

On completion of any work, you will be provided with a diagram outlining the layout of your networks. If you should choose to move to another IT company, Wavex will be happy to provide all details of your existing configuration.

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line

With the arrival of inexpensive bandwidth, Wavex can organise the installation of an ADSL line which in the UK currently offers 512k transfer rates. We can also setup your infrastructure to use the ADSL line.

Obviously, if you require faster connections, we can provide you with faster connections.
