There are two different types of network installation – Wide Area Network (WAN) and Local Area Network (LAN). Essentially, a WAN is an extensive network of information that is not tied to specific location. WANs facilitate the sharing of data between various devices across multiple locations using a WAN provider.
WANs are often created by IT service providers, which are then leased to other organisations. Essentially, employees can use the network to exchange and store data and communicate with others from wherever they are in the world if they have access to the WAN. Access is often granted by Wi-Fi and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).
A LAN network installation, on the other hand, is far more localised. It is a network that is installed on two or more computers. The computers in a LAN are connected by ethernet or Wi-Fi and are exclusive to an organisation, hence the term local.
At Agile Technical Solutions, we can offer all manner of network installations, including the provision of internet lines. We also provide additional LAN solutions, including Unified Threat Management, Wi-Fi Access Points/controllers, switches, and structured cabling.
