A network is a system that connects multiple computers together, so they can swap information back and forth. And they're not just for offices – these days, many homes have more than one computer.

You can share all kinds of data over a network – from documents and emails to music, photos and video. If you have a broadband internet connection, this too can be shared so all the computers in your household can access the web at the same time. Networking isn't just about computers either: with the right equipment you can also connect up your TV or link to your hi-fi so you can listen to your PC’s music library.

Thanks to wireless technology, networking is now more home-friendly than it used to be, not least because it means you no longer have to trail yards of ugly cabling from room to room in order to get connected.

We are able to advise and provide the appropriate network for your needs. A fully networked house will be able to deliver high speed data connections to every room giving a reliable connection to the Internet. Additionally, a fully configured network will enable files to be shared over the network, greatly improving the process of informa-tion exchange. Other benefits include printing over the network, running Home Servers, accessing PCs and Cameras over the Internet and playing large volumes of music stored on computers with your Home Entertainment System.
