February 05, 2013

If you run a small business, you know that things happen faster than they do in the corporate world. Thats all the more reason to make sure your technology is up to date and is able to keep up with you and your employees. If you're lucky enough to have extra funds in this year's IT budget, or if you're planning to invest in incremental improvements, here are 10 tech upgrades that will help your employees get things done faster in 2013. 1.

A faster wireless speed not only allows for a better experience. It also makes it possible for the network to serve a greater number of wireless devices, since it takes less time to complete each data transfer. A relative dearth of laptops with three-stream (450 Mbps) support means that deploying two-stream Access Points (APs) capable of 300 Mbps access speeds should work great for most businesses. In addition, make sure you acquire business-grade APs capable of operating simultaneously on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency band. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
