Optimized, reliable and secure Wi-Fi network is challenging for almost every IT department. This is mainly because of a growing number of devices fitted with a wireless interface, and a reliable and high-performance wireless infrastructure that business requires.
The basis of our enterprise-class Wi-Fi network projects is Site Survey, an inspection that we carry out on-site or – where appropriate – in Ekahau-type propagation simulators, by conducting the so-called Predictive Survey. Then, depending on the type of project, we focus on proper planning, configuration or modification of radio parameters, and solving problems with wireless connectivity or guest access issues. We also provide consulting services regarding the access point and wireless network controller selection, emphasising the security of Wi-Fi network access and intuitive monitoring.
We often encounter Wi-Fi networks that do not work as intended. The signal gets lost when employees move around the office. The connection breaks making it impossible for the workers to connect from the cafeteria, a small meeting room or shared spaces. Most of these troublesome issues can be rectified by learning about their causes. This is the purpose of a wireless network audit.
During the audit:
When designing enterprise-class wireless networks, we pay attention to a range of business requirements. We put a particular focus on secure access, reliable work and seamless switching of devices between the access points. In each case, we consider user and terminal concentration.
We make designs that include:
A frequently asked question during deployment and customer talks is as follows: “How to ensure safe and user-friendly access for guests that come to our organization?”
When selecting the right Network Access Control solution, we follow already-developed design practices and security standards. At that, we also answer the following questions:
Our engineers have expertise in wireless network design and implementation, which is why they are so knowledgeable about the issues that you face. We will help you select the right hardware and fit it with an optimal set of licenses. We will also take care of the hardware order and timely delivery. And if you wish, we will deploy your wireless network and ensure its security.
We manage the network infrastructure of our customers as part of our Managed Services framework. We can count as many as tens of thousands of managed wireless devices, as well as thousands of network devices. With our keen eye on your network, you can enjoy peace of mind and focus on the development of your infrastructure and services.
Our team is comprised of seasoned engineers, who have completed various types of projects. This reduces the risk of testing unstable solutions for manufacturing and lets us transfer the best practices from one project to another. With that, we are able to deliver the desired results quicker.
The task of this person is to effectively implement the project, both on the logistics, deployment, and reporting front. This helps us reduce the risk of extending the lead time. For you, this means saving time and having confidence that all issues will be adequately addressed.
We know how much of a risk can a long hardware delivery time pose to you. That’s why we’ve built our own warehouse for our best-selling hardware. This allows you to start projects sooner with confidence that the delivery time will not impact the smooth project implementation.
Before installation at the customer’s site, we reproduce the environment in our lab and meticulously test our solution. This lets us know how the system will behave in production and the installation will go more smoothly.
We are a team with the mission of being honest with our customers. If we encounter an insurmountable challenge before starting a project or during its implementation, we will let you know immediately and we will look for a replacement solution with you.
Our engineers have experience in projects for manufacturing enterprises, health care, Internet service providers and national Telecom companies, among others. We’ve worked with businesses, like Orange, Verizon, T-Systems and top global suppliers, such as IBM and Cisco.
Understanding the context that you’re in helps us tailor our proposed solution to the realities of your organization. For you, it means getting to know our team and finding out why taking the next step with us is a good idea.
What Can You Expect From Consultations?
During a site survey, we’ll visit the locations of your company, test the performance and verify the spots for the access points, as well as the method of their installation and configuration. Based on the recognized irregularities, we’ll draw up a report with suggested corrective measures.
For new WLAN networks, Site Survey or Predictive Planning helps us pinpoint optimal spots for the access point layout and provide you with guidelines for the types of proposed antennas.
A good project plan includes your business requirements, intended services and an estimate of the engineering workload. Before an LLD design, we make a draft of a high-level solution or HLD.
What Is Planned at This Stage?
The process starts with drawing up a configuration plan, and upon approval, we can proceed to the deployment phase.
What Is Planned at This Stage?
The deployment phase involves the execution of the pre-planned wireless network.
What Can You Expect From the Deployment Stage?
We will be with you during start-up or migration, solving any emerging problems on the fly
