The Importance of Rural Access Points

 

Yesterday the Education Office and the Finance Agency invited the school treasurer for IT technical guidance, IT technical guidance which will be discussed is the issue of using the M-Bangking application which has become a necessity for every institution and organization to facilitate transactions and make payments and transfers or receipts of funds, especially in the Buleleng area which nyegara gunung and spreads so that the application is the most appropriate solution for coordination in various government affairs including financial or budget issues which are very important and are the source of the creation of existing activities in institutions or organizations. just changing mindset from manual to system is very slow followed by friends Friends in the countryside are a result of not all being able to instantly change their mindset, because of that, finally those who hold positions are affected by the TB syndrome, can't computer, and everywhere brings assistants or staff to help describe the current work patterns that all use the system, that is if have staff who understand the system otherwise it will be slower because they are often called to the district for manual technical guidance, not all schools have an internet network which also causes the slow transformation of information technology to schools in rural areas, and a limited internet provider network also complements the slow transformation of IT into rural schools, teacher friends in the village only rely on cellphone quotas to do tasks, so everything is very limited, so the author recommends ISP service entrepreneurs or WIFI installation to rural areas multiply because Bali smart island already has an access point very limited, so far the Bali smart island in the form of wifi has been installed in limited community halls, the author's intention is that the reach is limited on the other hand, the available internet capacity is also limited even though during this pandemic it is used to make assignments by people who have school children, they are lame and have limited access internet in rural areas are still a challenge for the government in the future where the budget needed is so large considering the area is so large, in the future entrepreneurs who install ISP towers are required to provide internet access at several points at least to help educate the public about the importance of information technology and the use of the system will make work easier. easy and practical besides that the information system is more efficient and accurate or the language is now accountable, besides that the use of information systems for financial affairs prevents collusion, corruption, and nepotism considering that supervision can be from anywhere and anytime. The extraordinary rapid advancement of computer technology has brought many useful devices and gadgets into human life. There are so many different types of computer equipment that it is very easy for ordinary consumers to get confused about which device or gadget they need. Like the difference between an access point and a router. The basic differences between these two devices are quite simple, but there are other minors, but still important, differences. Therefore, let's study the meaning of an access point that distinguishes it from a router.

Understanding Access Points

An access point is a wireless network device that will act as a portal for devices to connect to the network. Access points are used to extend the reach of an existing network and to increase the number of users who can connect to it. A high-speed Ethernet cable connected from the router to the access point converts the wired signal into a wireless signal.

Definition of Router

There are two functions of the router, namely:

Connect multiple computers, phones, tablets, or other devices to form a local area network.

Provides Internet access to all compatible devices connected to the router.

A local area network (LAN) will be formed from routers that connect one or more devices to it. Modern routers allow users to connect devices either via an Ethernet cable or wirelessly (using WiFi).

Advantages of Using Access Points

When you have employees, friends, guests, or family connected to your WiFi network, there will be a simultaneous connection. Access points give you the freedom to be able to set the number of devices supported on the network. But that's only one of the advantages of using this one tool, some other advantages are as follows:

The access point will be able to be installed wherever the Ethernet cable is accessible. Newer models are also compatible with Power over Ethernet Plus, or PoE+ (a combination of Ethernet and power cable), so there is no need to run a separate power line or plugin an outlet near the access point.

Additional standard features include Captive Portal and Access Control List (ACL) support, so you can restrict guest access without compromising network security, and easily manage users on your WiFi network.

The selected access point will include features where IT administrators can view, deploy, configure, and secure the Wi-Fi network as a single entity rather than a series of separate access point configurations.
