With the arrival of the World Wide Web, the communication age has finally arrived. Everybody on the planet with a computer is potentially connected to everyone else, and we are only now beginning to realise what this can mean. What is remarkable about the Web is that the user makes the decisions. The user visits a Web site in search of information, finds it, and moves on, hopefully guided on his or her way by the site designer.
AIA has been part of the developing process that has culminated in the Web for fifteen years. AIA wrote its first TCP/IP handler in the 1980s, and has been building every variety of network ever since.
Typically AIA is installing wide area networks with multiple sites, with a local area network at each site consisting of many PCs running Novell, and one or more Sun UNIX servers. Each site is connected by permanent high speed links or ISDN, and there is remote access via modems for information gathering and support.
Computer to computer communication links typically exist to large business associates for Electronic Data Interchange, such as for automatic order processing.
And Sales Representatives on the road dial in from their laptops using GSM phones and a package such as Lotus Notes.
AIA is committed to Open Systems and UNIX and believes that the universal sharing of information benefits everyone. AIA's Networking and communications consultants are available to assist you with complex problems.
