Wireless Networking
A relatively new topology is called 802.11b, also known as Wireless. This topology connects computers together without wires. Wireless networks are currently the fastest growing type of networks in the U.S. because users can set them up without running cables between their computers. They also allow a user with a laptop the freedom of moving room to room while maintaining access to the Internet and the rest of his network. This solution is more elegant than Ethernet when the computers are far apart from each other or from the Internet Connection.
Ethernet Networking
Ethernet, along with its speedier counterpart Fast Ethernet, is the most popular networking standard in use today. If the computers at your workplace are running on a network, they are most likely connected with Ethernet technology.
Ethernet networks are generally faster than the alternatives, although other technologies are closing the speed gap. Because Ethernet is so popular and simpler, the essential components of Ethernet networking are easily available and surprisingly inexpensive.
To build an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network in your business, you will need one Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network card or adapter per computer. You will also need at least on hub or switch to at as the central point of you network, as seen in the diagrams on this page.
Special Cabling (technically called Category 5 UTP) is required to build an Ethernet network. One end of an RJ-45 cable plugs directly into a computer's Ethernet network card of adapter, and the other end plugs into a switch, hub, or similar device, connecting that computer to other computers on your network.
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet networking is the best business networking solution if speed is your primary networking concern.
