The Scottish Environmental Technology Network

networking

Here at i-B we are in the business of networking, together with control systems. It's the founding basis of the company. We divide the networks we work with into two clearly defined areas; Commercial & Residential Networking.

With a commercial network the emphasis is placed on the high speed transmission of digital data and voice / fax communications. With a residential network on the other hand the emphasis is predominantly on the transmission of analogue MultiMedia signals like TV, Audio, Video etc as well as digital data and voice signals but the digital transmission speeds are not so critical so the demands placed upon them are totally different.

The key to any network is the cable infrastructure, this is the nuts and bolts that hold the whole system together. Without a good quality data cabling system data will be transmitted slower, information can be corrupted or lost and, in the very worst cases, systems will simply fail to run. Get the installation "behind the walls" right and the rest will fall into place.

Modern business IT systems transmit data at up to 10Gigabits per second (i.e. the 'Digital Bandwidth'). These very high digital data transmission rates demand a high performance cabling systems but the signal frequencies more often than not have no need to exceed 350MHz (i.e. the analogue bandwidth). A residential system on the otherhand doesn't require that level of digital data transmission often only working at around 1Gigabit per second BUT does require an analogue bandwidth in the region of 1GHz (1000MHz) in order to be able to carry high quality TV signals.

We have extensive experience installing data cabling infrastructures and we have gained the experience and expertise to enable us to offer a broad range of copper data cabling solutions for both residential and commercial customers. Our copper data cabling installation portfolio includes:

We can install data cabling solutions ranging in size from 8 to 1,000 outlets and we are experienced in installing and commisioning networks in a wide variety of different environments including Homes, Schools, Universities, Hotels, Manufacturing, Computer Centres and Financial Institutions.

We can offer a wide range of active network components including switches, routers and integrated receiver systems tailored to meet you needs.
