Wired Networks

HPNA (Home Phone Line Allies)

PhoneLine networking, as it’s name applies, uses your existing phone lines to connect your computers. It does not interfere with voice operations or DSL on your existing live telephone line. Your HPNA network, DSL and voice communications can happen on the SAME phone lines simultaneously. Since HPNA does not require new cabling in your home, it is one of my favorite network types to install.

Ethernet Networks

Ethernet is reliable, fast, most popular, and oldest type of network around. The only con to Ethernet networks is cabling.  The history of Ethernet is long and complex so I will not try and explain it here.

There are currently three types of Ethernet network to consider. Standard Ethernet, or 10Base-T, this is sufficient if you are dealing with small files. However if you need to move large files like multimedia or DTP documents, you should rather consider fast Ethernet.

Wireless Network

Once upon a time, wireless LANs were found solely in vertical enterprises: schools, health care, warehousing and inventory management. Wireless LANs were slow, expensive and proprietary. Today's wireless landscape looks significantly different. Today, going wireless is practical and cost-effective. The speed and performance of the 802.11b products we tested make this technology a reasonable alternative where wired Ethernet is simply not feasible. And thanks to dramatically lower prices, SOHO (small office/home office) and mobile apps are also a possibility.

Today, business is mobile, and people demand access to wireless Ethernet anywhere, anytime from any device. That poses something of a challenge — but not an insurmountable challenge to your experts at SOHO Technologies Consulting. We help…with a wide range of powerful wireless Ethernet kit solutions.
