Wireless Consulting Expertise

Progent’s Wireless Consulting Services offer businesses a fast, affordable way to integrate the latest wireless technology into their information networks. Few small businesses have in-house IT staffs with the expertise or time to keep up to date on the fast-changing world of wireless products and services, and even fewer have the field experience to cut through the hype in order to identify and integrate optimal connectivity solutions. Even for large organizations, the new BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) paradigm has created a major challenge for IT managers who have to accommodate a diverse array of smartphones and tablets powered by Apple IOS, Google Android, Microsoft Windows, and RIM BlackBerry operating systems.

Progent’s extensive background in the integration and management of wireless technology makes it possible to offer expert consulting support for a broad range of wireless environments and applications. Consulting services available from Progent cover a variety of wireless technologies including:
