Why Cable is KING!


At ONA we love cable. We eat, sleep and breathe it.
It is our life!

When you turn your computer on and it kicks into its digital life, your only thought for the infrastructure behind that glowing screen is when you experience a problem; too slow, can’t log on, etc etc. Where is 'I.T.' when you need them?????
But between your communication room and your computer there is a choice of Wireless or Ethernet Cable that allows you to have a portal to the outside world. As such there is a debate raging (well slowing simmering), over the provision of that infrastructure being either Wireless or Ethernet cable.
Ethernet cable, or at ONA we call it eCable.
eCable (ekeib l) n. long liquorice strand of fine wire, wrapped in a lovely and very fetching purple (other colours available!) coating, providing a window on your world.
Wireless, not so much the new kid on the block, but it is the potential future. In the business community there is a place for wireless, but mostly specific to portable devices; phones, laptops. WIRELESS DOES HAVE ITS DRAW BACKS THOUGH there are the horror stories of the mass of tangled cables underneath your desk, mixed with a history of fluff and sweet wrappers. But hard wired (eCable) computer systems bring many advantages.

eCable, if effectively installed, either at the time of build or retro fitted into a work environment can be managed very successfully and provides a greater level of benefits for your organisation. The benefits far out way any issues; simple computer to network connection process, higher level of security controls, ability to manipulate data through higher download speeds with increased high-speed internet access, greater stability and reduction in downtime, higher levels of multiple users, lower life cycle costs to wireless (there are cabling systems that are still giving great performance after 15 years+), there is a higher level of understanding of the technology within the IT community, reduction in external interference from other sources such as radio. These are to name but a few.
And don’t just think eCable as the messenger of image based information. It also simply carries VOICE. Many phone systems run a Voice over IP (VoIP) system and for BEST Results (No TIME DELAYS), and BEST Practice use of eCable (Ethernet) is the only solution. 

So at ONA we like to say - “eCable is TRULY KING!”
