We offer custom built wired/wireless networks for SME groups:
This service is specifically aimed at the small business with 1 to 5 PC's and peripherals that they would like to share between users. It is ideal if a server is present , however, we understand that not all business users want the added expense of a server and instead we can implement an effective small office network based on present resources.

Why would we want to network our small office?
We provide beneath a number of reasons why a business might want to consider implementation of either a wired or wireless network:

• Ability to share one high-speed internet connection with all the computers in your office.
• Share resources, such as files and hard drives among all the connected computers in your office.
• Share a single printer with all office users.
• Share documents, music, video and digital pictures.
• Store, retrieve, and copy files from one computer to another.

Wired Network Services:
Tara Concepts will travel to your location and recommend a networking solution that matches your current needs. Solutions can range from simple peer-to-peer networks to a fully integrated computing environment with Internet connectivity. We are experienced in providing solutions that include the following technology: routers, switches, hubs, DSL, network fax, modems and network cabling. We specialise in the planning and implementation of Microsoft Networks.

Wireless Network Services:
Sometimes it will be better for a business to implement a wireless network solution in cases where a number of office users have a laptop, or the office location does not permit the laying of network cabling. Some of the advantages of a wireless network solution are as follows:

• Mobility - You will no longer need a dedicated computer room. With a wireless network, you can work on a networked laptop or desktop anywhere within the wireless range.
• Flexibility - Set up and access printers, computers and other networking devices from anywhere in your office.
• No cabling required - You can spare the expense and hassle of retrofitting Ethernet cabling throughout your office.

Security:
Whether we implement a wired or wirless network, one of our main priorities before we complete your network installation is to leave your network secure. For small networks it is not necessary to purchase a dedicated hardware firewall and we recommend routers with a built in SPI firewall such as a Belkin Wired/Wireless Router utilising WPA2 encryption and capabilities for MAC address filtering.
