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.

Our Deliverables
We've
learned that exceptional deliverables make all the
difference when dealing with complex solutions or
recommendations.
For
example, if a customer has a preconception that they
will need 15 access points when they really need 20,
detailing exactly what the coverage area of each
access point is or is not is critical to customer
buy-in. There is no need to worry about being
sold too much or not enough hardware, because the
facts tell the story.
Another
common scenario is troubleshooting a wireless
client-server application. The software
developers point fingers at the environment and the
field technicians point fingers at the application.
Discovering where the problem truly exists and
detailing it clearly with facts eliminates this
"blame game".
Our reports
spell out the facts, and leave no doubt in the customer's
mind as to what the wireless network environment really
looks like. Our deliverables tell the true
story in a way that is easy-to-understand. Our
customers and partners love us, because they know
exactly what they need and why.
