In the UK, I have seen many customers move to
A Radio network which is wireless, and does not require firewalls as it works on the same VLAN? Is this true? Can a company provide radio points on top of buildings using Private IP circuits which are terminated using a standard Ethernet LAN (Local Area Network) interface.
The service provider supplies a fully managed, VLAN capable switch on your site, allowing full management customers specify anything from a simple point to point circuit connecting two locations through to a meshed network servicing complex inter-branch IP (Internet Protocol) connectivity requirements.
The provider says they can provide
true 1:1 contention across all its connections. That 10Mbps bandwidth will not be compromised by other Users of the network and, because the Private IP Circuits are fully symmetrical. The supplier says
Security is paramount and they guarantee the integrity of your data. This is achieved using a proprietary infrastructure overlaid with encryption to prevent eavesdropping. The supplier advocates that it would be considerably easier for a hacker to physically tap into a traditional data circuit. Are radio networks less risk?
I am not convinced but feel my technical knowledge is a bit limited…. can any one help me with this?
