 One Source Communications currently provides network infrastructure installation and broadband ordering and implementation. The installation can include wiring, routers, security appliances, remote access, and more. We have the ability to do this for businesses ranging from a small local network for file sharing and internet access or a wide area network connecting locations across the country.
A reliable office network starts with the physical components – cable, switches, routers, and firewalls. As network speed demands increase, you must have adequate support for data transmission from end to end. This should not be taken lightly. Many networks that function for web browsing and file sharing will be inadequate for higher bandwidth applications such as voice and video. The throughput you actually get will only be as good as the weakest part of the network. The good news is that using components that will deliver a more robust network is not much more expensive than yesterday’s standard.
There are several types of internet service available today. Cable modem, DSL, wireless, and T1 are all options. The considerations in choosing service are price, your physical location, how much bandwidth you need, and how consistent or predictable you need the bandwidth to be. Simple web browsing and email are not very demanding and can be addressed inexpensively. If you plan to host any web services, implement VOIP, or utilize any other streaming data such as video, you need to look closer at your bandwidth requirements.
We offer internet connectivity to businesses nationwide with speeds up to 10 megabits or more. Pricing varies from one service to another and one location to another.

Protecting your data from malicious attacks from hackers is one aspect of network security. The other is protecting it from accidental loss or equipment failure. To avoid the time consuming and costly disaster of data loss, you need a reliable system of backing up all your files. This should be accomplished with automatic backup systems whenever possible. Old fashioned tape backup systems introduce human error. Relying on employees to always remember to change tapes and retain them is a weak link that can have a huge price tag.
