3 reasons for small businesses to love wireless

Source: Vsoftsystems, 10/09/2018


You know it as Wi-Fi, but wireless networks can do so much more for
your small business than allow you to connect to free internet from a
café or enable you to check your emails from home.

When it comes to your business, wireless networks can allow devices to
stay connected to the internet and your business’ network â€` like your
server â€` without the need for cables.

It allows you and your team to connect from anywhere in your building,
instantly connect new employees to your network and give your
workforce the ability to update company information, no matter where
they are.

Here are three main reasons why entrepreneurs, small business and
franchisee owners insist on wireless networks for their companies:
1. You become mobile and more efficient

A wireless network allows you and your workforce to access the
internet as well as your company’s documents, applications and other
network sources on your device no matter where you are in the building.

Quick meetings become easier because everyone can bring their laptops,
tablets or mobile phones and access documents and material they need
to discuss. And if you’re in a longer meeting, your team can send and
receive emails, making sure customers don’t have to wait for responses.
2. Your network can grow as your business does
Your small business is constantly changing â€` and growing. You don’t
have time to wait for a technician to install a new wired connection
to a desk every time you add a new employee to your team.

You need to be able to add to your team and even change your office
setup on the go. A wireless network allows you to scale operations on
demand, without the need to worry about whether your network and
internet can keep up with the pace.
3. Your business gets connected, without the clutter
In your small business, one employee might have many roles, from
salesperson and office administrator to stockroom manager. A wireless
network and internet enables your team members to take their devices
with them wherever they go in the building â€` and still stay connected.

The ability to easily access the information you need to close a deal
with a client on the showroom floor, work at your desk, and update
documents while you’re in the stock room, all without the need for a
wired connection, means work gets done faster.

Because you’re relying on wireless technology, you’ll never have a
physical wired network cluttering your workspace. Fewer wires mean
more space to be productive and fewer tripping hazards.

Other benefits of wireless networks include the ability to treat your
visitors and customers to free Internet when they’re in your building.
Because no wires need to be installed, the cost of adding staff to
your networks can be much lower. And if you’ve put time and effort
into creating a specific look for your office, then a wireless network
keeps it clutter-free.
All wireless solutions aren’t created equal

Your business is unique and so are your technology needs. The same
goes for wireless â€` any old solution won’t do. The wireless technology
you opt for should be scalable to expand as your operations do and
adapt as your office space changes. If you’re allowing employees and
customers to connect to your wireless Internet through various
devices, your wireless network needs to be secure. Whatever you buy
needs to also align with your budget.

For this reason, expert advice and installation are vital. Installing
wireless technology that’s not suited to your business needs is costly
to replace and may fail you when you need it most
