Myths About Wireless

Wireless technology can provide a cost-effective, secure network for HE & FE Institutions and home. Take a look at the most popular myths, and see how far wireless technology has come.

Myth: Wireless networks are not secure.

Dell wireless products use a series of security protocols that can provide users with the same type of security that exists on wired networks. You can set up your Dell wireless network even if you don't have an IT manager. And because Dell wireless products were designed and built to industry standards, your data stays secure.

Myth: Wireless networks are costly to set up.

Wireless networks are generally less expensive to set up and maintain than traditional wired networks. A wireless network eliminates one of the most expensive parts of setting up and maintaining a network - Move, Add and Change costs. Setting up a wired network typically requires running Cat-5 cable through the ceiling and walls of your institution to each workstation or computer. Any changes to your college layout or design (for instance, if you add classrooms) require changes to cable.

Myth: Wireless networks are slower.

While wireless products cannot equal the speed of a wired Ethernet connection, Dell products allow users to transmit information at speeds up to 54 Mbps (megabytes per second), or nearly 100 times faster than 56K* dial-up connection. (Range and speed will vary according to environmental and other factors.)
