WiFi Networks - Wireless Solutions for Your Company
In the past several years, corporate WiFi networks have become more and more popular as companies realize the freedom and flexibility that wireless networks bring to a company. From medium and large enterprises to college campuses, airports, train stations, museums, shopping malls, manufacturing plants, hospitals, and warehouses – they have all installed WiFi networks on their premises. WiFi can offer everyone at your company a way to be mobile yet always remain connected to the network.
Site Survey
A site survey is always performed first. This is a physical survey of the customer's premises to locate the best possible places to install access points and ensure 100% wireless coverage and optimum performance.
Before installing any wireless devices we perform a radio frequency (RF) test in order to better understand the behavior of radio waves within a facility. This is recommended because various obstacles such as doors, walls, elevator shafts and people might affect the radio frequency pattern, causing it to be irregular and unpredictable. Even if you are using omni-directional antennas, radio waves do not travel the same distance in all directions. The RF test can also detect any radio interference that might come from other sources and could affect the performance of the wireless LAN negatively. The ultimate goal of the site survey and RF test is to help determine the number and placement of the access points.
WLAN Network Design
Our engineers will assure the proper planning for your network design. The complexity of your network will vary depending on the obstacles within and the size of your facility.
Access Points - WLAN Installation
We will integrate the WiFi system into your current network as well as install all the required wireless equipment and certify its operation. All cabling and power runs should be done and tested prior to the installation of access points.
Below is a list of activities that one might expect during an installation:
- Mounting of access points
- Installation of enclosures on case-by-case basis (physical security)
- Mounting of antennas
- Connection of antennas to access points
- Connection of Backbone LAN to access points
- Connection of power to access points
- Installation and connection of remote power system
- Verification of coverage
- Configuration of access points and hardware to include:
- Proper firmware level
- Radio information (SSID, channel, bit rate)
- IP addresses
- Verification of backbone connectivity
Wireless Equipment Installation
We can install cabling for wireless / wifi equipment from practically any wireless / wifi vendor.
