New service from Pacific Networking solves the problem of how to add computers in additional areas the home or office. Secure wireless networking service provides the ability to put the computer anywhere in the home and still share the Internet connection, printers and files.

La Jolla, CA - March 20, 2002 - Pacific Networking has introduced a new service designed to bring secure wireless networking to residential customers looking to add computers in additional areas of their homes.

People are putting computer networks in their homes for the same reasons that they have computer networks in their offices; sharing files, printers, and an Internet connection," says Pacific Networkings co-founder Charles Becker. The flexibility of wireless networking makes the home network even more attractive. Now you can check your email from any room in the house or even out on your deck. The problem is that despite some manufacturers claims, installing and configuring a secure wireless network is not a trivial task. Thats where Pacific Networking comes in."

With a single phone call, the homeowner can get an estimate of the cost and schedule an appointment to have a wireless network installed and configured by Pacific Networking. Before installing the network, Pacific Networkings engineer will test the home to make sure that the proposed solution will work as designed. Any pricing or configuration changes are then finalized with the homeowner. This way, the homeowner can know the final cost and feel confident that the network will work well in their home before installation even begins.

Included in this service is an evaluation of the homeowners security needs. Most wireless systems you buy at the large computer discount stores are not secure at all by default," says Becker. You need to configure the security and encryption, or else you are wide open to the public. The security built in to the wireless networking equipment is often good enough for the average home user, as long as its configured properly. We make sure that its configured properly with every installation that we do. If youre using your new wireless network to do something more sensitive, such as connecting to your office, we can install Virtual Private Networking software to keep your network truly secure."
