Services > Network Planning & Design
Since the beginning of the Information Revolution, communications networks have become increasingly important. Networks, pump vital information to employees and equipment. It is interesting though that many organizations rely on computer vendors, phone company salesmen, and cost alone to determine their network configuration.
Innovative Thinking approaches Network Planning & Design systematically. We assess your past, current, and future requirements. The items we examine include:
- capacity
- latency
- availability
- addressing or numbering schemes
- security
- cost
- maintainability
- efficiency (this might determined by the type of transport protocols used in a data network)
- "problem areas" - applications or conditions negatively affecting your business
Based on this information we help you develop and document short and long term strategies based on the project scope. We are also able to help implement this network, from procurement to monitoring and maintenance.
Many vendors believe that there are only two types of networks: 1) data - meaning computer data, and 2) voice - meaning telephony voice. There understanding of networks ends there. At Innovative Thinking, we also examine SCADA, Mobile Radio, Fax, and Video networks. We also understand the fiber, free space optics, wireless, and copper that these networks traverse.
By understanding the big picture, we're able to help you make better technology decisions. We can help you choose between Frame Relay and MPLS in your WAN, VoIP or TDM in your voice network, trunked or conventional in your Mobile Radio network, and weigh the value of running SCADA over IP. Innovative Thinking will help your network perform at its best while keeping costs under control. Through effective planning and design, we're often able to lower recurring costs. Let Innovative Thinking design a superior solution for you.
