NSPC offers several networking solutions.

Wireless:
Wireless networks have become very popular in the last several years due to major advances in wireless technology. Many manufacturers offer high speed networking equipment that is both affordable and secure. The home user, as well as small business users can share a high speed internet connection or share files with each of the computers on the network, all without the expense and damage associated with running wires. The equipment needed varies with the individual network and type of internet connection, but the basic building blocks of any wireless network are the modem, wireless router, and wireless network interface cards (nic) for each computer on the wireless network. Many new laptop computers have these built in.

Wired:
Wired networks are the traditional way to interconnect computers. They offer an affordable, secure method to connect as many computers as you like. Wired networks consist of a of a router or hub, network interface card for each computer, and the cable to connect them. Wired networking is still the choice for networks where security is an issue or where all the computers are either in the same room or are close to each other. We will be happy to assist you in your purchase, installation, or any other aspect of your hardware/software needs.

Hybrid:
Most existing networks can incorporate wireless technology without completely rebuilding the network. As new computers are added no new wiring is needed, and because they are wireless they can be moved at will. This is the perfect solution for people who are adding a laptop and would like the added versatility of a wireless network without disturbing the existing infrastructure.

Protection

Hard disk data backup is a must for all computer owners. Statistics show that most hard disks represent an average of 3,000 hours of work. A "crash" can be caused by software failure, mechanical failure, an electrical spike or brownout, fire, water, coffee, or even dust and smoke particles. Partial hard disk failure is also common. Sectors of a disk can lose magnetic retentiveness, resulting in loss of data or corrupt files. The data, and your investment of both time and effort, should be protected from loss. NSPC recommends all systems, including those used for games be backed up. NSPC will be happy to install an easy to use automated backup system.
