  Growing Your Network

When your business grows, so must your network. With more employees, more computers must be plugged into network ports. More ports must be added if there are not enough. Some devices will be easily accessible to wired locations, others will not.

The Solution
Preparing a network for growth requires a number of techniques. First, add speed through the use of higher capacity switches with Gigabit uplinks, such as the 3Com® SuperStack® 3 Baseline 10/100 Switch 24-port. Second, bring in secure wireless connections reaching new users and new locations without adding wires with a 3Com 11 Mbps Wireless LAN Access Point. Finally, to connect to power users, high-speed servers and workgroups, use the 3Com SuperStack 3 Baseline 10/100/1000 Switch 8-port.
