Wireless IP Networks

Wireless IP networks enable small, medium and even large size businesses to be more productive and efficient. This increased productivity and efficiency increases competitiveness and can have a positive impact on the bottom line. They can help to give a business a workforce that is highly mobile. In order to be of any use at all to businesses, wireless IP networks need to be easy to set up and configure, easy to manage, be secure and have a high degree of scalability. Wireless controllers, wireless access points and wireless switches are the building blocks of reliable IP networks that can help a business get all the things done that need to get done in the most efficient way possible... continued

Security in IP Networks

There are many threats to the security of modern business networks. More and more workers are working remotely and businesses are utilising social media for marketing their products and services. Telecommuting and social media can be great for productivity and increasing profits but they can make networks more vulnerable. Hackers can gain unauthorised access to a network and can steal sensitive customer information for the purposes of identity theft or they can steal proprietary information. A worm or virus might spread on a network and cause costly downtime for mission critical systems. A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack can knock a company's website offline and maybe cost thousands of dollars in lost sales. Strong protection against these security threats is vitally important for keeping sensitive information safe and for keeping a business network up and running. The networking products like routers and network switches offered by D-Link have strong and effective security built into them. Unified service routers from D-Link such as the DSR-1000N have Professional Intrusion Prevention (IPS) built-in to protect a network from zero-day attacks... continued

IP Network Hardware for Home and SOHO Users

Things can get pretty busy on a home wireless network. There can be wireless printers, video game consoles and media players on the network consuming all sorts of bandwidth. Maybe there are video and voice calls being made with VOIP applications like Skype. Maybe there is an IP camera or two keeping an eye on pets or children in the house. A home network needs to run smoothly and efficiently to get things done and to just have a little bit of fun at times. Routers, switches, network storage devices and network adapters are just a few of the wireless devices that can be used in a home network setting.

D-Link offers a variety of products that can be used in a home network setting. Cloud gigabit routers like the DIR-845L can extend stable, high-speed wireless coverage to every corner of a house or apartment. It can give you the connectivity that you need to watch HD video with a minimum of buffering and to make and receive VOIP calls with crystal clear sound quality. If you have multiple devices you need to connect to your network and you've run out of ports, one of D-Link's switches can solve that problem... continued

IP Surveillance Cameras for Monitoring and Deterrence

There are many valuable things that need to be protected. Things like places of business, homes, pets and children need to be kept safe. Keeping an eye on these things via surveillance cameras may be a smart thing to do. Most people think of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras when they hear the word surveillance. However, analog CCTV cameras are not the only surveillance solution. Increasingly, people are turning to Internet Protocol (IP) cameras for their security needs.

IP cameras are able to send and receive data via computer networks and the internet. IP cameras offer many potential advantages over CCTV cameras. One of the most important advantages of an IP camera is the ability to monitor a camera's feed from any internet connection and from smartphones and other wireless devices. The ability to monitor a camera remotely means home and business owners can potentially know what's going on at all times. IP cameras may be the perfect security solution for business and home owners... continued
