Wired vs. Wireless Networks

Corporate Network SeverRegardless of whether your corporation uses a wired or a wireless network, you will be able to monitor corporate network activity. Wireless systems are at most half as fast as wired systems. Wireless systems can be intercepted or have radio infrequencies.

Wired systems are harder to install, but they are fast and you can visually inspect each computer on the network. Some argue that wireless systems can be encrypted to keep rogue computers off the network and provide computing portability.
