Progent's Predictive Wireless Planning Services
Progent's predictive Wi-Fi planning services can be performed offsite and utilize cutting-edge RF modeling and analysis software to plan a cost-effective Wi-Fi LAN. With predictive planning, you send Progent's Wi-Fi experts your facility's floor plans and a description of your environment such as walls, doors, cabling, stairways, and building materials. You also specify your coverage, capacity, and throughput requirements plus your constraints. Also, you estimate the kinds of endpoints your clients will connect, the software they will run, and the peak traffic volume they will produce. Progent will use your input to create a digital simulation of your environment and develop a plan that details the preferred vendors for your access points, the required number of access points, their ideal location and antenna type, their most effective configuration and their anticipated throughput.

Progent's On-premises Wi-Fi Site Survey
Progent's onsite wireless survey uses Ekahau's specialized Wi-Fi signal collection device and related software tools to help you to confirm, optimize, and debug your current Wi-Fi infrastructure. These services are commonly performed immediately after a new deployment or used as a diagnostic tool to expand, tune, or troubleshoot an older Wi-Fi network. Offered throughout the United States, Progent's onsite Wi-Fi site survey services include walkthrough measuring for radio frequency coverage and interference, detection of AP overpopulation, signal propagation tracking, data protection assessment, and selection of the best placement for client-specified Wi-Fi Access Points.
