IP Solutions: LAN, WAN and Wi-Fi

A LAN, or Local Area Network, connects devices within a building. Structured cabling connects computers and servers and lets users share an internet connection across a commercial building. Essatech supplies, installs and maintains LAN, WAN and Wi-Fi systems in Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam. Structured cabling includes cables, connectors and accessories, and it provides wiring for panels, network switches, routers and media converters.

LAN connections can use Ethernet cabling and fibre-optic cables. LAN designs include two main equipment groups: active equipment, such as switches and routers, and passive equipment, such as cables, patch panels and outlets. A well-planned LAN supports:

Poor cabling is the hidden cause of slow networks, dropped calls and endless faults. Cables run in the wrong places, labels missing, and outlets added one at a time become a tangle that nobody can trace. A structured design puts every outlet on a patch panel, labels each cable, and leaves room to grow. It costs a little more up front and much less to maintain.

A WAN, or Wide Area Network, connects networks over a larger area. It uses telecommunications links to connect systems in different locations, and the internet is an example of a WAN. Essatech also provides WAN services. These connections help educational institutions, government offices and business organisations exchange data across locations. They support communication among staff, students, clients, suppliers and buyers.

Wi-Fi lets electronic devices connect to a wireless LAN and share an internet connection. Mobile phones, laptops and computers can use it to access data and information. A router can also provide wired LAN connections to computers and servers through multiple LAN cables. Wi-Fi solutions are used in government offices, shopping malls, restaurants and software companies. Network speeds are expressed in Mbps or Gbps. Password protection helps prevent access by unauthorised users, and an authorised user can remove the password.

One router in a corner rarely covers a whole floor. We survey the building, place access points where people work, and plan channels so they do not interfere with each other. A separate guest network keeps visitors off your office systems, and signal checks after installation show whether every room has a usable speed.

We deliver networks as a complete job:

Builders and architects should plan the cabling with the building services: riser space, equipment rooms, cable trays and outlets in every workspace. Commercial building owners need Wi-Fi coverage for tenants, industries need links between plants and offices, and hospital owners need a reliable network for records and equipment, with the camera and security networks kept separate. MEP consultants can pass us the network specification and we price cabling, switches and Wi-Fi against it. Corporates need networks across floors and sites. Defence establishments, including Navy and Army sites, have strict network rules, and we plan and quote within their security and vendor rules.

A network quote depends on:

We install networks in offices, malls and institutions across both cities. The same cabling can carry CCTV cameras, the EPABX and door access. To discuss wired and wireless connections for your premises, contact Essatech.
