Wired vs Wireless

In todays advanced world, everyone gets caught up in the hype of "wireless " connectivity, what with all the latest Iphones, 3G/4G u name it.

However, sometimes you still need to do things the old fashioned way. Why ? cuz in the end, no matter how evolved you become, you don't get your

Basics right, you still screw up badly. And that's where wired beats wireless any day.

 

Sure you can argue about how much the world has changed since the inception of wireless technology, with more devices become "hands free" and more applications for the

Mobile user on the market, than anyone counts in their heads.

But at some point, every wireless technology incorporates a piece of wire into hardware for it to work.

Just think about something as simple as a small wifi LAN. Sure, the end user devices may all have wifi components in them, such as antennae's, wifi network cards, Bluetooth and the lot,

But at the end of the day, their core/backbone components such as routers, switches, and network cards still incorporate aspects of wired network components in them to function at their peak.

 

Most users only see the face of wireless equipment, and get glamour by the idea of wifi. In fact, more than 95% of people the world over prefer wireless to wired.

They have no idea how difficult it is to incorporate ANY wifi network and the challenges vendors face to create wireless products without the use of wired components.

 

A TRUE wireless solution would have everything from its core to front end totally wireless. This includes end user equipment such as AP's, bridges, and clients to Core equipment such

As routers, switches, IP cameras, Servers, databases. But I seriously doubt that such a perfect system exists, since it would almost be technically impossible to create such a solution with

Those kind of constraints involved.

 

However, this kind of solution already exists using wired networking technology. 99% of medium to large organizations have deployed a hybrid network using equipment from top brands in the telecom

World such as Cisco, Juniper, Huawei, Zhone, Zyxel, Engenius, etc.

 

Therefore, in conclusion, a perfect wired network topology is evident the world over, but the same cannot be said for wireless, since it has yet to come.
