3 Reasons to Request Custom Built RF Devices for Your Business
Posted by Amitava Sarkar on May 6th, 2016
In order to conduct your business as efficiently as possible, you need tools and equipment that offer you speed, security and reliability. This is true about everything from your manufacturing equipment to your computers. An often-overlooked but even more important piece of equipment to consider is any RF devices you have in your building, as they’re the backbone of your data transfer network. Choosing the right devices –devices you don’t just buy straight from the catalog – can play a larger role in your business’ ability to communicate data quickly, efficiently and securely than you might think.
Ask for a quote for outfitting your company with high power, multi-octave devices by completing an online form. A representative from your IT department should have the technical know-how necessary to provide all the relevant information, but if you operate a small business, you might not have an expert on staff. Instead, work with the experts at the device supplier and rely on them to come up with a design that minimizes or even eliminates common issues with this type of equipment when used incorrectly. By choosing the right devices from the start, your company will reap the benefits of a highly efficient and customized design.
Faster Results
All of the best quality devices will result in some boost in speed in the signals bouncing around your business, but the ones designed precisely for the amount of data your company needs to send on a daily business will work the fastest – offering you a noticeable boost in speed. Better speeds translate to fewer issues and network shutdowns because your network won’t get overloaded even on your busiest days.
If you don’t know the difference between 180 degree hybrid combiners, 90 degree hybrid combiners and even zero degree combiners and dividers, you have no idea which is right for your company’s needs. Have your IT department work with the experts who can design a system that eliminates the instability of power amplifiers at out-of-band frequencies. Your system will see more speed when the experts can eliminate excessive In-Band ripples and the false trigger of power-detector circuitry as well. The key is a non-reflective absorptive filter.
Building Limitations
Outfitting a subway train or tunnel or even a ship is different than outfitting a typical office building with RF devices. Even high rise office buildings might have different needs for device installation, especially if there are competing signals from other tenants on other floors. When it comes to these devices, one size doesn’t fit all perfectly. Relying on professional designers to not just recommend which type of devices you need to suit your location but also to map out the entire system to make sure signals get processed as quickly as possible bypasses any potential issues your building could cause to impede data transfer.
You Save Money
Rather than buying devices that don’t fully serve your company’s needs, purchase RF devices designed and handpicked for your business. If you buy in bulk and replace your entire system, you may qualify for a discount on the pieces. Regardless, even if you pay slightly more for the custom-build devices – which aren’t necessarily the case – you’ll save in the long run because your company will be able to conduct business more efficiently thanks to the boost in speed and the reduction in network crashes.
Hybrid combiners, couplers and dividers play a larger role than you might think in your business’ day-to-day operations. Optimize your current system or build a new one from scratch with the help of the experts. Communicate faster and more efficiently with custom built RF devices.
