C3-Wireless - Expert Personnel, CWNE Certified

Our Methodology

Anyone can claim they do wireless site surveys, including those that walk around using free utilities that check for basic signal strength, without any training or understanding of how wireless works. That may be fine if you only need basic Internet connectivity, but if your network supports mission-critical applications, you need a professional-grade solution.

Our methodologies are what differentiate us from our competition. We start with the belief that combining the best tools and training with years of experience leads to the best wireless solutions available. Our formula for success includes the following:

Predictive Modeling

Predictive models, also known as virtual site surveys allow us to efficiently and accurately identify the number of access points required, as well as their initial placement and configuration. Modeling is ideal for creating "what if" scenarios that show us the effects of changes in real time. Our designs always start with a model which we then validate.

Spectrum Analysis

Because wireless networks operate in unlicensed frequencies, potential interference from numerous devices such as microwaves, cordless phones, Bluetooth devices, video cameras, etc. can have a significant negative impact. RF spectrum analyzers are the only devices that can identify physical-layer interference, and no onsite wireless site survey is complete without this service.

Manual Validation

When the highest degree of accuracy is required for your mission-critical applications, there is no substitute for a professional-grade manual site survey.

Our surveys start with temporarily mounting the same access points and antennas that will be permanently installed. We then use professional-grade software to test not only for signal strength, but Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR) to test the signal's viability, interference and data rates. Our thorough approach is the most accurate solution available.

Detailed Deliverables

Our reports spell out the facts, and leave no doubt in the customer's mind as to what the wireless network does or will look like.

Expert Certified Personnel

Our goal is to provide high-end, secure and reliable solutions for mission-critical wireless systems. We know this cannot be done without a significant investment in wireless training and education.

Anyone can claim to do wireless site surveys or know how to provide wireless consulting services. In fact, we run into this everyday, only to find out they know sales much better than wireless. Wireless consulting is difficult, and certification is a great way of ensuring those implementing your solution have the background necessary to do it correctly.

To that end, we only work with Certified Wireless Network Professionals (CWNP). Our designation as a CWNP Premiere Certified Solutions Provider reflects this commitment.

This is because we've seen how vital the CWNP program has been to the success of one of the largest healthcare software providers in the United States.

Before CWNP training, their more than one hundred field service technicians did not have the fundamental knowledge of how wireless networks worked, how to follow best practices, or how to troubleshoot wireless issues. This resulted in unreliable systems, numerous help desk calls, and high levels of customer dissatisfaction.

Today, CWNP training - along with using the right tools - has resulted in well-implemented wireless networks that reliably support latency-sensitive, mission-critical applications. We are proud to have played a key role in turning around the way they implement wireless networks today through CWNP training, and development of their standard network designs.

This is one example of why the CWNP program is valued by 75% of the Fortune 500, and is the 3rd fastest rising certification in the Industry.

The CWNE (Certified Wireless Network Expert) is the highest level of wireless certification available, and has been obtained by only a select few. To earn this certification, you not only have to pass one of the most difficult exams around, you must also have extensive documented experience and recommendations from other experts. There is no faking CWNE status.

Not only do we have CWNE personnel, we are proud to be a member of the prestigious CWNE roundtable, an exclusive committee of wireless experts dedicated to developing the highest level and most respect vendor-neutral certification in the wireless industry, as well as writing technical whitepapers.

You can be assured that our solutions and services are backed by the best-trained experts available.
