[This is part 8 of a 10 part series titled: “So You’re An IT Noob“]
Earlier we had discussed how to get your team online. At some point, a few wireless access points may not be enough for your team.
WiFi is great, but there may come a time when you will have network based devices such as copiers, printers, network storage devices, etc. that will require the use of cables (though many of these devices are wireless these days).
Despite this being a series for noobs, this is one area where you may have to call in some experts to do some work.
Much of it, however, is infrastructure.
You will want to get in touch with a cabling company to come in and run Cat5/e or Cat6 cable from whatever room (or closet) you designate as your end point. But there are other items you will need in order to make this work.
