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.

we can measure radio frequency propagation, and the
attenuation effects different material such as
cement block, drywall, etc. have on wireless
signals...

Manual Site Surveys
The most
important step in a successful wireless network
implementation is a professional-grade survey that
measures for both coverage and capacity.

RF Spectrum Analysis
Wireless is much more than just Wi-Fi. There
are many potential interferers operating in the
unlicensed bands that can only be detected by an RF
spectrum analyzer...

Troubleshooting
Wireless
networks are significantly more complicated than
wired networks. Understanding wireless
networks is like learning a new language, and
without extensive training and experience,

Security
Security
is the top reason for not implementing a wireless
network, and for good reason. Wireless removes
the physical security barrier, allowing attackers to
work from a safe distance. And even though
wireless networks can be completely locked down, it
takes advanced training and experience...

Implementation
If you
are looking for a "one stop shop" for one site or
many across the country or across the world, we've
got you covered. From start to finish, we can
design, survey, sell, run cable, install hardware,
validate, train your staff, and even monitor your
system...
