Wi-Fi & other wireless Networks

Wireless Networking is now easy and secure!

Cypress Electric & Datacom^® designs,  builds, and supports turn-key Wi-Fi and other Wireless Networks.  We can also provide other wireless connectivity options including: Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Power over Ethernet (PoE), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), and Wireless Medical Telemetry Services (WMTS).  Business Class Wi-Fi Networks offer reliable, secure, and fast connectivity that can be Integrated with many other Voice-Data-Video & Surveillance Networks.  Our applications include SOHO, Enterprise Departmental Wireless Networks, Outdoor 802.11, and military, governmental, or other sensitive network implementations.

Complete, secure turn-key Wi-Fi equipment and service packages are based on the general design and type of construction for a given building or open space.  The exact installation location for Wi-Fi equipment is critical.   Computer models are used to simulate the RF characteristics for the desired coverage area.  This Virtual Site Survey  avoids costly, disruptive, and time consuming site surveys.

Cypress Electric & Datacom can design and provide Access Points, Bridges, Repeaters, Mesh Routers, Specialty Antennas, PoE, and any other equipment necessary for turn-key Wi-Fi and other Wireless Network installations.  Our systems support 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11a, 802.1x, WPA, and the evolving 802.11i.  Cypress Electric & Datacom is always available for Quotations, Installation, and Support. 

Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi Networks)

 Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) Networks use radio waves to communication across Wireless Networks by: (a) A Computer with a Wireless Adapter that translates data into a radio signal and then transmits that signal using an Antenna, and (b) A Wireless Router receives the signal, decodes it, and sends the information to the Internet using a physical, wired Ethernet connection.   Wi-Fi Networks transmit at frequencies of 2.4 GHz or 5GHz.   Wireless Network standards include:

802.11b: This standard operates at 2.4 GHz, and is the slowest and least expensive standard.  It is becoming less common as faster standards become less expensive.  It can handle up to 11 megabits of data per second, and uses Complimentary Code Keying (CCK) coding.

 

802.11g: This standard operates at 2.4 GHz, but considerably faster than 802.11b.  It can process up to 54 megabits of data per second. This standard is  faster because it uses Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM), a more efficient coding technique.

 

802.11a: This standard operates at 5.0 GHz, and can process up to 54 megabits of data per second. It also and uses OFDM coding.  Newer standards, like 802.11n, can be even faster than 802.11g.  The higher frequency affords less interference from other devices.

Wi-Fi Radios can transmit on any of these three frequency bands, and can "frequency hop" rapidly between the different bands. Frequency hopping helps reduce interference and lets multiple devices use the same wireless connection simultaneously.   A Wireless LAN or WLAN is a Wireless Local Area Network, which links two or more Computers without using wires. WLAN utilizes spread-spectrum or OFDM (802.11a) modulation technology based on radio waves to enable communication between devices in a limited area.
 

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)

VoIP converts the voice signal from your telephone into a digital signal that travels over the Internet.  If you are calling a regular telephone number, the signal is then converted back at the other end. You can make a VoIP call from a computer, a special VoIP phone, or a traditional telephone using an adapter.  In addition, new wireless "hot spots" in public locations such as airports, parks, and cafes that allow you to connect to the Internet, may enable you to use VoIP service wirelessly.  If you make a call using a telephone with an adapter, you’ll be able to dial just as you always have.  If your VoIP service provider assigns you a regular telephone number, then you can receive calls from regular telephones that don’t need special equipment.

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology is a system to transmit electrical power, along with data, to remote devices over standard twisted-pair cable in an Ethernet Network.   This technology is useful for powering IP Telephones, Wireless LAN Access Points, Webcams, Ethernet Hubs, Embedded Computers, and other appliances when it is inconvenient, expensive, or infeasible to supply power separately. There are several general terms used to describe this feature. The terms Power over Ethernet (PoE), Power over LAN (PoL), and Inline Power are synonymous.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

Imagine going to the grocery store, filling up your cart and walking right out the door.  No longer will you have to wait as someone rings up each item in your cart one at a time.  Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags will communicate with an electronic reader that will detect every item in the cart and ring each up almost instantly.   The reader will be connected to a large network that will send information on your products to the retailer and product manufacturers. Your bank will then be notified and the amount of the bill will be deducted from your account. No lines, no waiting.   RFID tags, a technology once limited to tracking cattle, will soon be tracking trillions of consumer products worldwide.
 

Wireless Medical Telemetry Services

Wireless Medical Telemetry Services (WMTS) is the remote monitoring of a patient's health through radio technology.  The use of WMTS gives patients greater mobility and increased comfort by freeing them from the need to be connected to hospital equipment that would otherwise be required to monitor their condition. WMTS also serves the goal of reducing health care costs because it permits the remote monitoring of several patients simultaneously.
