LOCAL AREA NETWORKS (LAN)

C1C is the southeastern expert that can design and build you a state-of-the-art Local Area Network. These systems cover a limited area and do not require a leased telecommunications line, making them the ideal choice for an office environment.

A LAN integrates internal high-speed switching technology and connects your network to the Internet. This closed system can help you improve productivity and security for your office, offering such benefits as:

• Better performance. Your computer network will be optimized for premium usage and tailored to your business’s needs and desires. This customized design will offer you increased data and application availability, giving your staff the ability to push the boundaries of success.
• Tighter Security. Your business can work securely on sensitive documents without the fear of hackers or viruses corrupting your data. Our built-in firewalls and enhanced server security will ensure that your company secrets are kept safe.
• Reduced Operating Costs. A well-designed network allows all of the computers in your office to share resources, such as printers and storage devices. Not only does this cut the need for multiple machines, it also slashes your budget, giving you the ability to expand your company to new levels.
• Universal Access. A LAN gives all of your staff access to the programs you use, whether they work in the office or are remote. Plus, with the upgraded features of your network, you can implement higher levels of communication tools, such as VoiP or video conferencing, bringing your business to the next level of customer service.
• Centralized Control. With all of your computers under a single banner, you have the power to make changes only once. Implement new programs or troubleshoot problems remotely rather than deploying individuals to each computer. Plus, with all of your information linked, you have the ability to call up real-time data on your business right at your fingertips.

WIDE AREA NETWORKS (WAN)

C1C also designs and implements wide area networks or WANs to meet your specific requirements. Whether you want to link across a metropolitan area, a region, national or international grounds, we can plan and create a network that puts you first.

When you choose a WAN through C1C, the benefits help your business blast past the competition, allowing you to:

• Create more bonds. Our well-designed WAN systems help you connect more computers together, giving you the room to grow your business to your ideal size.
• Cover more ground. These wide area networks do just as the name implies. Connect with offices across the country or across town
• Get things done faster. The increased speed and capabilities combined with the tighter security can help your business gain global dominance without ever losing a step.

When creating, our expert will provision the required communications bandwidth from Local Exchange and installs a router needed to connect your LAN to the outside world. The network is then fully tested to ensure all connections are operating as specified, putting your team on the path to success.
