Progent's Predictive Wireless Modeling Services
Progent's predictive Wi-Fi planning services can be carried out offsite and make use of cutting-edge RF modeling and analysis tools to plan a cost-effective wireless network. With predictive design, you send Progent's Wi-Fi experts your facility's floor plans and a description of your physical environment including walls, doors, cable access, stairways, and building materials. You also specify your coverage, capacity, and throughput requirements as well as any constraints. Also, you project the types of endpoints your clients will connect, the software they will use, and the peak wireless traffic they will produce. Progent will use your information to build a digital model of your facility and devise a plan that details the most appropriate manufacturers for your access points, the required number of APs, their optimal location and antenna selection, their proper configuration and power settings and their anticipated performance.

Progent's On-premises Wi-Fi Site Survey
Progent's on-premises Wi-Fi survey utilizes a specialized RF signal measurement instrument and associated software to allow you to validate, tune, and debug an existing Wi-Fi deployment. This is commonly performed immediately after a recent deployment or used as a tool to expand, tune, or troubleshoot a mature Wi-Fi network. Offered across the United States, Progent's on-premises Wi-Fi survey services include walkthrough measuring for RF coverage and interference, detection of AP overpopulation, RF propagation tracking, data protection assessment, and selection of the best placement for client-specified Wireless Access Points.

Progent's consultants can deliver remote and on-premises guidance with a broad selection of wireless access points and offer services such as Aironet wireless AP integration, Meraki wireless AP cloud management, Cisco Small Business 100/300/500 Wi-Fi access point consulting, Cisco Catalyst wireless AP solution planning, Ubiquity UniFi wireless access point configuration, and Apple AirPort wireless access point installation.
