Wired and Wireless:
Wired networking has traditionally been deployed for stationary computers and machines which do not require mobility. Wireless networking allows the user to roam wire free where the wireless network exists while never dropping the connection to the network. Traditionally, wired connections have been the primary means of access to the network, with wireless connectivity offering a secondary means of connection for mobile devices.
Wired Networking:
Wired networking connections provide the foundation of the Local Area Network. Incoming connections, Data Center interconnections, IT closet facilities, and stationary computing devices have all traditionally been connected to the network via a series of cables. The primary benefit to a wired connection is that the wire provides a standard level of service (performance, security, reliability) which can be relied upon in all situations. Typically, wired connections (correctly installed) have an extremely low failure rate and provide a standard of service which helps provide a very low cost for support per connection.

Although the freedom to roam the facility and always be connected to the LAN can be a great advantage for network users, the amount of support needed to manage the system and users is much higher than that required by a wired network. Due to the broadcasting nature of a wireless system, security is an important concern and provisions should be made for guest / unauthorized users to use the system in a limited and controlled way. Additional support by the IT Team is often required to configure a user to use the wireless network, to ensure the wide variety of hardware will work with the College’s wireless system, and to provide Help Desk support for wireless
