A network switch is device that connects multiple computers or smart home accessories such as lights, heating, cameras or storage in the home; or for connecting PCs, workstations, servers, storage and IP-enabled security or surveillance devices within a business environment. Each scenario allows communication within the home or organisation and shares and access the Internet connection to the wider world.

These switches are ideal for businesses, where faster network speeds and comprehensive traffic management is required, with some offering Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) support to ease device placement and reduce cabling.

Each scenario allows communication within the home or organisation and shares and access the Internet connection to the wider world.

These switches are ideal for the small business, where faster network speeds and some degree of traffic management is required, with some offering Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) support to ease device placement and reduce cabling.

Network attached storage (NAS) devices are designed to create easily expandable and secure data storage devices. They usually feature multiple drives, RAID protection options and hot-swap capabilities for reducing down time should drive failure occur. Software-powered features vary depending on the operating system included, and the processor and memory onboard, but may include automated backups, remote access, VPN, encryption, snapshots and advanced RAID configurations. Some units may allow expansion via connection of an additional drive enclosure.

These NAS devices are desktop units designed to hold either 5, 6, 8, 12 or 16 drives. Fully populated units allow RAID levels of 0, 1, 5, 6 , 10, 50 and 60 on to be configured on most models. Scan recommends using NAS-optimised hard disk drives (HDDs) in these enclosures as in systems of 4 drive for more the lateral vibration generated from multiple drives spinning can reduce lifespan in standard HDDs.

Wireless access points (WAPs) are standalone devices designed to be connected to a wired router or plug socket in the case of HomePlug WAPs, to provide wireless access for portable devices such as laptops and smart phones. In the home access points are usually built in a broadband router, however in business separate access points are common as they offer flexibility of placement (often featuring PoE technology) and better coverage when multiple units are deployed.

These access points’ range and speeds will vary depending on the wireless standard they are based on - either 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7), 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6 / Wi-Fi 6E), 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) or 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4).

Wireless access points usually feature detachable antennas so alternative more specialist ones can be fitted. These are either for covering wider areas, or transferring a wireless signal over greater distances.

A broadband connection into the home is now almost a given’s more devices such as smart phones, tablets, laptops, PCs, smart TVs, heating, lighting and security devices are increasingly able to take advantage of an Internet connection for online gaming, remote operation or monitoring.

These routers are designed for the more serious home user or small business where wired connectivity for non-portable devices is favoured over all devices taking up wireless bandwidth. For wireless devices a separate stand lone access point would be connected to the wired router.

Physical security protection over the network is becoming increasingly important as smart home technology and digital transformation in business gains pace. Internet Protocol (IP) enabled cameras simply connect to your network, allowing remote management and archiving of video footage on regular storage devices such as PCs, NAS boxes and in the cloud.

These cameras are designed for outdoor use and can feature motion detection, infra-red (IR) for night use and either IP, WiFi or CCTV type connectivity.

Dedicated recording devices for analogue or IP-enabled surveillance solutions are ideal if you want to keep your camera system entirely separate foremother systems you may have. If you have IP cameras then you can also consider a NAS box to record and store archive video footage.

Industry-standard 19in wide equipment racks are used to store devices such as servers, network switches, firewalls, and UPS in comms rooms and datacentres.

We stock a huge range of rack cabinets and acccessories and also provide a complete installation service, contact our Scan Business team for further details.

A broadband connection into the home is now almost a given’s more devices such as smart phones, tablets, laptops, PCs, smart TVs, heating, lighting and security devices are increasingly able to take advantage of an Internet connection for online gaming, remote operation or monitoring. A broadband router with increasingly powerful wireless capabilities is key to home and smart home connectivity.

These routers are designed for the larger home where coverage from a standard router access point may be insufficient. Mesh access points work to create a more expansive coverage area by working together to reduce dead spots and create more consistent coverage. Overall speed, however will still be governed by the wireless standard the system is based on - either 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7), 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6 / Wi-Fi 6E), 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) or 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4).

Network gateway devices serve as the bridge between your local network and external networks, ensuring secure, efficient, and reliable data flow. Acting as the first line of defense, gateways manage traffic, enforce security policies, and often integrate firewall, VPN, and routing capabilities to protect and optimize your network. Whether for home, business, or enterprise environments, they provide seamless connectivity, safeguard sensitive information, and improve performance through intelligent traffic management. From simple internet access to advanced network control, gateway devices are essential for maintaining stability, security, and scalability in modern networking solutions.

These network accessories include patch panels and tools to complete your network installations.

Smart Home is an umbrella term used to cover an ever-growing array of connected devices. By connected we mean that they form part of your home network and therefore communication with these smart devices is via your router - whether connected physically by Ethernet cable or wirelessly. The concept of a smart home is to add convenience to life in general, either by providing automation for heating or lighting systems or to deliver additional functionality such as security when using cameras or alarms.

These smart home door locks allow you to integrate additional security into your home, whilst some offer the ability to remotely monitor a live video feed of your doorstep when you are away.

Wi-Fi 7 features will expand upon the innovation of Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E to not only enable faster speeds, but dramatically improve responsiveness and reliability for future usages that demand extreme consistency and precision. Wi-Fi 7 enables significantly faster speeds by packing more data into each transmission. 320 MHz channels are twice the size of previous Wi-Fi generations—which is somewhat like using a semi-truck to move boxes, compared to a moving van
