Wired > Wireless
We live in a wireless world.
So it is easy to assume wireless is the answer in production too.
And while wireless is sometimes necessary, running cable should always be considered first.
Wire is...
- Reliable
- Economical
- Consistent
- Predictable
Wireless is...
- Not a quick fix
- Always changing
- Unpredictable
- Not a solution for laziness
Before investing in wireless, ask yourself these questions:
- Is it physically possible to run a cable, even if it may be difficult?
- If it is physically possible, am I trying to find a way out of having to run cable?
- If I decide to go wireless and it fails or is unreliable, will I end up having to run cable anyways?
If you honestly answered yes to any, or all, of those questions then you know what to do...
Start running wire.
