Progent's Predictive Wi-Fi Modeling Services
Progent's predictive wireless planning services can be carried out offsite and make use of advanced RF modeling and analysis tools to plan an efficient Wi-Fi LAN. With predictive design, you provide Progent's wireless experts your facility's floor plans and a description of your environment including walls, doors, cable access, stairways, and building materials. You also define your coverage, density, and throughput targets plus your constraints. In addition, you estimate the types of endpoint devices your clients will connect, the software they will use, and the maximum traffic volume they will generate. Progent will utilize your input to build a mathematical simulation of your environment and develop a plan that details the most appropriate vendors for your APs and controllers, the recommended number of access points, their optimal placement and antenna type, their proper settings and their anticipated performance.

Progent's On-premises Wi-Fi Site Survey
Progent's onsite wireless survey utilizes Ekahau's specialized Wi-Fi signal measurement device and related software tools to allow you to confirm, optimize, and debug an existing Wi-Fi deployment. These services are typically undertaken immediately after a new installation or used as a diagnostic tool to expand, optimize, or troubleshoot a mature wireless network. Offered throughout the United States, Progent's onsite wireless site survey services include walkthrough measuring for RF coverage and interference, checking for AP overpopulation, signal propagation mapping, security auditing, and identification of optimum locations for client-requested Wireless APs.

Progent's consultants can deliver online and on-premises guidance for a wide array of Wi-Fi APs and can provide services that include Aironet Wi-Fi access point integration, Cisco Meraki Wi-Fi access point management, Cisco Small Business 100/300/500 wireless AP configuration, Catalyst wireless AP solution design, Ubiquiti UniFi WiFi access point configuration, and Apple AirPort wireless access point setup.
