A checklist of things to consider when you're Moving, Expanding or Setting up....
Getting the right people in to give you the
most up to date advice and implement cutting edge technologies is paramount and
will save you money in the long term.
There are often many overlooked facets in designing a successful network. It’s
not just ensuring that every computer can print to a shared printer, or that
everyone has access the internet. SolutionOne knows this which is why we offer a
comprehensive service covering all aspects.

and devices. First and foremost networks rely on the physical cabling and devices that
coordinate the passing of traffic between computers. The “Data Layer” of a
network is often the most overlooked. Your network may consist of only a handful
of computers or notebooks, or it may have many hundreds of PC’s spread across
many sites.Whichever the case, SolutionOne can help build your physical network
At Solution One we have a range of qualified engineers that specialise in the
initial cabling and network hardware provisioning. We are partnered with only

Getting the right hardware for your network is only the first part of the
equation, it also has to be configured, we have a range of Cisco, D-Link and HO
qualified engineers to ensure that the hardware you purchase will be configured
to perform far outside your expectations.
Wireless Networks
Let’s not forget about the current and emerging wireless network technologies. And most
importantly they eliminate the messy clutter of cables snaking their way across
the desk to your notebook computer.
It is important to consider the wireless networks
use radio frequencies to transmit and receive their information, much the same was
as two way radios and satellite TV systems. This is important to remember when considering
the implementation of a wireless network. Would you get any tradesperson in to fit
and install your TV Antenna and expect premium picture quality?
This notion extends to the installation of wireless networks
also. SolutionOne have qualified Wireless Field Engineers, capable of performing
full site survey to accurately determine the best locations of Access Points, and
also determine optimum channel settings and transmitter power.
Once the Site survey is complete, the next step is to determine
the most appropriate security policies for your organisation, it is important to
remember that wireless networks when configured incorrectly have the ability to
broadcast access to your information, so it’s worth having it in writing that all
appropriate measure have been taken to ensure its security.

We can guarantee that we will always use all avaialable and viable technologies at hand to deliver a solution that best fits the needs of your business.
Deployment & Project Management
Often, the building of a successful information system is made up of many products
and technologies working together. It is not uncommon to have all these different
products and technologies being provided many vendors and service providers.
