Progent's Predictive Wireless Modeling Services
Progent's predictive Wi-Fi planning services can be performed offsite and make use of cutting-edge RF modeling and analysis software to design a cost-effective wireless network. With predictive design, you send Progent's Wi-Fi experts your floor plans and describe your environment including walls, doors, cabling, elevator shafts, and relevant materials. You also define your coverage, capacity, and performance targets plus any constraints. In addition, you estimate the types of devices your clients will connect, the applications they will run, and the peak traffic they will produce. Progent will utilize your information to create a digital simulation of your facility and devise a plan that details the most appropriate vendors for your APs and controllers, the required number of APs, their ideal placement and antenna selection, their proper configuration and power settings and their predicted throughput.

Progent's On-premises Wi-Fi Site Survey
Progent's onsite wireless survey utilizes a specialized Wi-Fi signal measurement device and related software tools to allow you to confirm, tune, and debug an existing Wi-Fi infrastructure. These services are typically performed immediately after a new deployment or used as a diagnostic tool to scale, tune, or troubleshoot an older Wi-Fi LAN. Available across the United States, Progent's onsite wireless site survey services feature walkthrough testing for RF coverage and contention, detection of access point overpopulation, RF propagation mapping, security assessment, and identification of optimum placement for client-specified Wireless Access Points.
