Business network solutions
Internet in a small company
You don't need a large and extensive WiFi network for a home office or small company. It's important that your small network is fast and stable enough for regular use. Have high standards for your WiFi network? Choose a high-end starter pack.
Internet in an SME
For an SME or medium-sized company, you'll need several access points. A single access point has a rang of about 15m around your access point. Walls and other hard surfaces reduced this, so choose extra WiFi point for more difficult rooms.
Internet in a large company
Looking for WiFi for a large company? You can find starter packs with multiple access points and large switches here. These switches have many extra inputs, so you can also easily add extra WiFi points or wired connectors. You can choose from starter packs in various speed classes.
What's an access point
An access point is a wired solution for WiFi throughout your company. Every access point emits a WiFi signal. You connect an access point to your business router with a network cable. A switch then distributes the internet over the various access points. This wired solution is less sensitive to interference than a mesh network. You can set up most access points completely to your needs.
What's a mesh router
Mesh WiFi is suitable for home environments and smaller companies. A mesh system consists of multiple stations, of which 1 mesh router is the main station. This one's connected to your modem with a cable. You can then set up a wireless mesh network with multiple stations. You can easily add extra stations later. Keep in mind that the mesh stations have to be within each other's range.
What's a switch
A switch is a power strip for your wired internet. The switch distributes the input over multiple network cables. You connect these cables directly to a PC, security camera, access point, or extra switch. There are also PoE switches. These supply devices with power and internet via the same cable, so you only have to connect 1 cable per device.
Frequently asked questions
What are business network solutions?
Business network solutions are devices that provide a good and secure internet connection at your workplace. Routers, switches, access points, and firewalls, for example. They're made for offices and other workplaces.
What's the difference between a business network and internet at home?
At work, there are often more people that use the internet. You also have multiple spaces or floors. That means you need stronger and more secure devices than at home.
Which network devices do I need for my company?
That depends on your workplace. Do you have a small office with a couple of people? A good router with a switch is often enough. Do you have a large building with many people? Access points are more suitable for you. We'll help you choose.
What's the advantage of managed network devices?
With 'managed' devices, you can adjust the settings yourself. That way, you stay in control of your network. You can set up different user groups or view the internet traffic, for example. That's useful if you work in IT.
How do I make my network secure?
Use a firewall. That way, you can keep out people that don't belong on your network. Also perform updates and set up a guest network. Many business routers and access points have extra security.
Can I manage multiple access points at the same time?
Yes, you can. You can manage some access points via 1 system at the same time. That's useful if you have multiple spaces or floors. Brands such as Ubiquiti UniFi or TP-Link Omada have these kind of solutions.
