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:
Expert
Certified Personnel
We start with
a commitment to having the best trained personnel possible.
We only employ or contract with Certified Wireless Network
Professionals (CWNP).
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.
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.
RF 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.
Onsite Site Surveys\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.

Troubleshooting
 Perhaps
our greatest ability is to solve difficult wireless
networking problems and fix broken systems.
Years of Tier-3 troubleshooting experience with
latency-sensitive, mission-critical healthcare and
other systems, combined with the highest levels of
training and state-of-the-art tools has given us the
ability to identify and resolve even the most
challenging issues.
Wireless
networks are significantly more complicated than
wired networks. Understanding wireless
networks is like learning a new language, and
without extensive training, experience, and
the right tools, finding the right answers is
unlikely.
End
users only care that their applications work.
When issues arise, it can be due to the application,
the client device, the server, the wired network,
the wireless network, or something else.
Productivity is lost while guesses are made.
 Without
the facts, the solution can be difficult or
impossible to know. We use best-of-class RF
spectrum analyzers and protocol analyzers to
discover OSI layers 1-7 communications, allowing us
to see definitively where breakdowns occur.
Many times we discover that what was though
originally thought to be a wireless issue was
actually a problem somewhere else.
C3-Wireless has proven time and again its ability to
find the answers quickly and accurately. We
understand what is required to make wireless
networks work reliably, and we communicate that
through deliverables that are detailed and easy to
follow.
