Data
One of the major benefits of the Home Network Sciences system is the ability to network computers and network-enabled devices (printers, scanners, cameras, network storage device, etc) to communicate with each other across a LAN (Local Area Network).
The most efficient way to do this is either with a Switch or Router. A shared Internet connection can also be achieved in the same manner. Your computers can exchange information and share printers, and allow networked gaming for computer consoles.
With the HNS hard-wired system such as this, there is always a guaranteed connection, guaranteed bandwidth and guaranteed security. The system will also complement wireless network devices where required.
As with the CCTV and telephone services, the data network is star wired using standard Category 5e structured cabling. Data patch panels will service four locations each. Category 5e patch cords are used to connect the data patch panel(s) to the switch/router.
A firewall and the latest in encryption are standard features with the hardware, so security can be assured.
When the property has an internet/broadband service then the appropriate filter (eg ADSL filter) must be used.
