Additional Uses for Wireless Networks
In
addition to providing unwired Internet access in your home or place of
business, you can also enjoy other benefits of wireless networking and
leverage your investment in the network, such as the following:
Replace
noisy walkie-talkies with portable wireless phones – If you have employees that
use these little noisemakers, you can quiet things down using a technology
called VoWLAN (Voice over Wireless Local Area Network). You can equip
key employees with a Wi-Fi-based phone that utilizes the same wireless
network installed for Internet access. Thus these personnel can be contacted
by dialing a switchboard extension, rather than broadcasting calls to
all walkie-talkies, which generates noise and potential disturbances for
employees and customers.
Make
cash registers or other POS terminals portable – The WiMAX Guys can convert
any registers that are currently wired in place, making them portable.
A possible use for this are for deploying registers for cash bars for
events.
Use
wireless audio broadcasting – Now you can wirelessley play
the MP3 music files you may have on your computers in any room of the
house, or add background music to any area of your office. By adding on
components in each location, you can send music from to any wireless-equipped
stereo system.
Offer
wireless PowerPoint presentation capabilities – Rather than fumbling with
swapping cords between presenters, a Wi-Fi-based presentation system could
allow the next presenter to instantly begin presenting. Plus, presenters
no longer are restricted to a six foot radius surrounding the projector.
Offer
secure Instant Messaging for your employees – With a WiMAX Guys secure IM
system, employees could contact one another while online to discuss business
and ask each other quick questions. Instant Messaging is probably already
in your company; the problem is each IM leaks information outside your
enterprise, potentially transmitting company secrets in the clear over
the Internet. IM can be used to enhance your business as well. For example,
hotels could offer dinner companion matching services via IM or non-urgent
communications from the front desk could be delivered to guests via IM.
Share
expensive broadband connections – In rural areas, it's often
impossible to get high-speed Internet access at an affordable price. The
WiMAX Guys can set up a local wireless network among you and your neighbors
that will allow you all to share a single connection, thus making it more
affordable. We have solutions for even widely dispersed neighborhoods.
Of course, we'll need to check it out with your broadband provider to
see if sharing your connection is permissable.
