<br />
Every business has internet and with that comes WiFi. If your WiFi is for internal use only, then it needs to be secure from outsiders and hackers. If you wish to share your WiFi with your visitors, then you need to be certain that their connection is safe, easily accessible and at the same time, separate from your own internal network.<br />

<br />
One of the more popular methods of managing a public WiFi is through a guest portal. A guest portal is a simple splash page that a visitor lands on the first time they connect to your company guest WiFi. The will usually be asked to agree to your company terms of use before they are permitted to connect. <br />
<br />
A splash page can also be combined with a voucher. A voucher is a simple, unique password given to each new visitor that they can use to access the guest WiFi network. Vouchers can be preconfigured to automatically expire within a certain time period; from a few hours to a few days. Companies may even issue vouchers to employees that never expire, but can be revoked by the employer when the employee leaves the organization.<br />

Promote your business on Facebook with Facebook WiFi. When customers connect to your free WiFi, they will be directed to your Facebook page where they can check-in. Their check-in will show up on their Facebook timeline showing their Facebook friends that they were at your location. Your guests will also have the option of liking your Facebook Page.<br />

It would not start. She would press the power button and nothing. No lights; completely dead. And to make matters worse, her entire QuickBooks and company files and documentation was located on her PC. <br />
<br />
Sally's company does the payroll for their clients and they had to print out checks ASAP before their Friday deadline. This put a great deal of stress on the situation.<br />
<br />
Sally works on an HP Pavillion All-in-One PC, and given the time restraints, I decided the best corse of action would be to open the All-in-One so I could access the hard drive to get her files. Sally is fortunate because the issue was a problem with the power switch and not the hard drive. Her data were completely intact.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAvOog0xUpkByGbr1R5wWpKK4Tl27LvhHutBL5Jpv5Q18OsvZxcG3DbUNWmbjeAgv1m2xEplVGKbnC-ANKcW8Ks0GCdp8KXycHRXUWgaXmYenVq4-E92wMA6AHV4jbaAPcUAUd3blzjATu/s320/IMG_20170124_120134.jpg" width="320" /></div>
<br />
<br />
But what if it was something more severe? What if the hard drive was toast? That would have had major ramifications for the firm costing 10s of thousands of dollars. Or worse, it could have destroyed the entire company.<br />
<br />
This is why having a backup strategy is so crucial in business today. A local and cloud backup plan would cost a fraction of the potential loss that might occur should a disaster take place. With technology, it isn't a question of if it will fail, but when it will fail. Fortunately for Sally, we were able to save her data and the company occurred no loss, this time. Suffice it to say, from now on all of Sally's information is being backed up and secured with Tricom. Should an incident like this happen again, she will be prepared to handle it. She can also sleep better at night knowing that her data is secure with Tricom and she is free to focus on more important matters.<br />

In today’s competitive business climate, companies are finding it necessary to cut costs. For the most part, the single biggest expense for is labor. With endlessly increasing regulations, healthcare costs, and employee retention needs, service outsourcing is becoming more attractive when viewed from a cost-benefit analysis.<br />
<br />
One of the fastest growing outsourced services in the past few years has been in the field of information technology (IT). The managed IT service model typically takes the form of an ongoing service level arrangement in which the provider remotely monitors, manages and updates a customer’s technology infrastructure, systems, and services such as email, network and security software, or increasingly more complex pieces of technology such as business applications and analytics. IT functions once commonly handled in-house become outsourced, effectively.<br />

So I thought, “Oh cool, Windows comes with free anti-virus”. And it’s free! but is it such a great deal? Is it good enough anti-virus I can trust to protect my business?<br />
<br />
Well for most of the business owners I know, FREE is a very good word. Anything they can get for free the better. But what will it cost them if their company should get a piece of ransomware that encrypts all of their company files? Or a virus that emails all of their clients more copies of the virus. How much does that “free” software cost then?<br />
<br />
This happened to someone I know about a year ago. They contracted a piece of ransomware from and email that encrypted all their office documents on the network, and in every folder was included a little note informing them that they could get their files decrypted for a very reasonable fee of $5,000.<br />
<br />
Today, malware and cyber attacks are an everyday occurrence. One report shows that malware costs US businesses over $491 billion in 2014 alone. And I expect to see more cyber threats in the next few years. Given this fact, one doing a simple cost-benefit analysis should conclude that the benefits of professional virus/malware protection far outweighs the cost.<br />
<br />
Okay, so what anti-virus/anti-malware software should I get? Which is the best?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Virus and Malware Protection" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4YaimrwcJRk-IDtkRiRiEFfHfX9V3F4KFy6Ekz-xU9okkxoblU4_pGQlq1HwbV3-mHPzuW_0EGRP9tSHWsWnz8ZBU_at2I5lJdMXqVAzvtH-RNYrUekgVZ7_agW8jiMDa0-y6mWZLAU4/s1600/Eset.jpg" title="Malware Protection" /></div>
<br />
<br />
The plain answer is Eset. Even before working at Tricom I used Eset. It is far above the best anti-virus I have ever used. Partly because of performance. It never slows down my computer, unlike other anti-virus software I have used in the past. And partly because it is so good at catching threats and stopping them before they even reach your PC.<br />
<br />
Now full disclosure, we at Tricom are resellers of Eset. We sell Eset because we think it is the best and we recommend it to all of our clients. We use it on our personal home computers as well as all of our work computers.<br />
<br />

<h2>
Small office PBX phone systems</h2>
Today's PBXs combine the best of both worlds. You get the features of a traditional, landline-based small office PBX. Plus, with a unified communications solution, you get an Internet Protocol (IP) PBX phone system as well as advanced collaboration and communication tools.<br />
<br />
<br />
The result: With next-generation small office PBX systems, small businesses have the type of communications systems their larger competitors have, in a solution that’s built especially for their needs and budgets.<br />
<br />
<h3>
What’s a Small Office PBX?</h3>
<h4>
A traditional small office PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is a telephone switching system that connects a company’s internal phone users to each other and to the public phone system. On a traditional small office PBX, employees can easily make calls within the company simply by dialing an extension.</h4>
<br />
<h4>
How are Today’s Small Office PBX Systems Different?</h4>
Next-Generation communications solutions offer the same features as traditional PBX systems and much more. Advanced unified communications solutions often include an IP PBX, which runs on the same IP network many small companies use to run their businesses. This saves costs and minimizes network management.<br />
<br />
<h4>
What is Unified Communications?</h4>
A unified communications solution unifies and simplifies all forms of communication regardless of location, time or device. It provides sophisticated features such as “presence”, which is the ability to determine the best way to contact others within your company at any given time.<br />

<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
One of the most important tools needed to run a successful business is email. It's as important as a telephone number. However, it is all too common for businesses to have unreliable email service. Or they still rely on a free email service that gives an unprofessional impression to their customers. </div>
</div>
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
In my field of work, I have come across quite a few email providers. Some good, some okay, and some downright awful. How can you screw up email? Well, I have seen some pretty bad set ups. From mailboxes filling up so fast that the customer has to spend half their day downloading and deleting old emails. To people, not receiving emails because the client's email service IP address was blacklisted for spam. </div>
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
So what if you are not the most tech savvy? What email service should you look for? Well first off, if you are running a business you <u>must</u> have a name@yourbusienss.com address. That is a requirement! It shows people that you are serious and not running a hobby or running your business from your house (even if you might be).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
And if you have employees you need to make sure they can stay productive. If a company is having technical problems with their email service, that could not only cost the company productivity, it could cost the company customers!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both;">
Okay, Jason, just get to the point!</blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
You need Google Apps for Work (now called G Suite). Of all of the email service providers, G Suite is hands down the best. Better than Godaddy, Microsoft 365, MS Exchanged, and all the other smaller services. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Here are a few key reasons why I, as an IT professional, recommend G Suite.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
You can use your own web domain (YourName@YourCompany.com)<br />
<br />
Email is 100% web based. No need to set up your email on a desktop program like Outlook or Thunderbird. All you'll need is a web browser and you can access your email anywhere.<br />
<br />
If you get a lot of junk mail, Gmail has advanced spam, malware, and phishing site filters to keep you safe from threats.<br />
<br />
Mobile set up is a snap. I can't tell you how many hours I have spent helping my clients set up their email on their phones and tablets. Simply tap "Add Account" 2. Select "Gmail" 3. Enter your emails address and password. 4. You're now ready to Rock & Roll.<br />
<br />
But wait, G Suite is so much more than just email. You also get a whole suite of cloud-based productivity apps to turbo charge your workload. All cloud-based, available anywhere, at no extra charge. <br />
<br />
Key features:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Business email through Gmail</li>
<li>Video and voice conferencing</li>
<li>Smart shared calendars</li>
<li>Documents, spreadsheets, and presentations</li>
<li>2-step verification and SSO Security options</li>
<li>30GB cloud storage</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />

However, once you start moving up in demand on your network; (usually 10 users or more), it may be time to upgrade your router to something a bit more robust to handle the day to day demand. Especially if you are using VPNs, port forwarding, or VoIP phones.<br />
<span style="background-color: #f5f6f5;">There are plenty of high-end business routers to choose from that can cost in the thousands of dollars. Routers such as Cisco, SonicWall, Barracuda, to name a few. </span>But what if you <span style="background-color: #f5f6f5;">need something that can handle the business workload, but you don't want to break the bank?</span><br />
One router that we at Tricom have had some great results with is the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite. And at under $100, I'm sure most businesses can afford it and next month's payroll at the same time.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Now, there are plenty of low costs "Business" routers. The fact that they call themselves "business" doesn't mean much. And recently we have had some bad experiences with a few well-known brands.<br />
But enough about them. Let's hear more about the EdgeRouter Lite.<br />
Well, for starters, it just works. Weird concept right? It just works. Not only does it just work, but it works great and fast. Sometimes you can tell the difference right away; especially if you are using any video streaming or VoIP phones. If you Skype or video chat, the performance could improve as well, do to the fact the EdgeRouter Lite handles the issue of <a href="http://www.dslreports.com/faq/17883" target="_blank">bufferbload </a>better than any other router I have worked with.<br />
For those more on the techy side, this router has lots of other cool features too. Like pear to pear IPSec VPN, traffic/packet analysis, Smart QoS, VLANs, load balancing, and more; enough to keep any geek busy on a Saturday night.<br />
<br />

<br />
If you are a Vonage Business customer, you may be experiencing technical issues that can affect your phone's performance and audio quality. <br />
<br />
The following may cause VoIP phone call quality issues.<br />
<b>Limited Bandwidth</b><br />
Voice over IP does not require a great deal of bandwidth; however, streaming videos, downloading files, and sharing programs such as Dropbox can eat up bandwidth, causing VoIP packets to get dropped. Properly implementing QoS (quality of service) policies can give VoIP traffic priority without hindering the performance of other applications.<br />
<br />
<b>Network Collisions</b><br />
As network traffic grows on the LAN with computers, servers, printers, IP cameras, and wifi devices, the greater number of packet collisions can occur. Network collisions will interrupt VoIP packets causing audio drops and distortions. <br />
Assigning your network into smaller VLANs will break down your network into separate domains, reducing traffic and collisions.<br />
<br />
<b>Misconfigured Router or Firewall</b><br />
A misconfigured firewall or double firewall/NAT can interrupt voice traffic causing dropped audio and calls.<br />
<br />
<b>Broadcast Storms</b><br />
Malfunctioning network devices, viruses, and malware can cause network broadcast storms interrupting traffic flow and causing network slowdowns.<br />
<br />
Tricom can provide a full analysis of your network and equipment in order to solve your Voice issues.<br />
