Network Support for Midsize Companies

Progent's wireless site survey consultants can assist you to design, deploy, optimize, and debug a Wi-Fi network for any venue, providing you a WLAN that has the coverage, speed, density, Quality of Service (QoS), security, and roaming ability your company needs. wireless site survey services offered by Progent include remote predictive analysis for planning a Wi-Fi network and onsite survey services for confirming, optimizing, and debugging an operational wireless network.

Progent's Wi-Fi professionals are certified in the use of Ekahau's radio modeling and simulation applications for designing your wireless environment and Ekahau's signal capture hardware for recording wireless traffic at your site to determine throughput and identify issues. Progent's Wi-Fi survey consultants have experience setting up all major Wi-Fi access point models and Wi-Fi controllers including outdated devices and modern Wi-Fi 6 appliances.

Progent's Predictive Wireless Planning Services
Progent's predictive wireless design services can be carried out offsite and utilize cutting-edge RF modeling and analysis software to plan an efficient Wi-Fi network. With predictive design, you send Progent's wireless professionals your floor plans and describe your physical environment such as walls, doors, cabling, stairways, and building materials. You also define your coverage, capacity, and throughput requirements plus your constraints. In addition, you project the kinds of endpoints your clients will operate, the software they will run, and the peak traffic volume they will produce. Progent will utilize your input to create a mathematical model of your facility and develop a design that details the preferred vendors for your access points, the recommended number of access points, their ideal location and antenna selection, their proper settings and their anticipated throughput.

Progent's On-premises Wi-Fi Site Survey
Progent's on-premises Wi-Fi survey uses Ekahau's purpose-built RF signal collection device and associated software to allow you to confirm, tune, and debug your current wireless deployment. This is commonly undertaken shortly after a recent deployment or used as a tool to scale, optimize, or debug an older Wi-Fi network. Offered throughout the U.S., Progent's onsite wireless survey services feature walkthrough testing for radio frequency coverage and contention, checking for AP overpopulation, signal propagation mapping, data protection assessment, and selection of the best locations for client-specified Wireless APs.

Progent can deliver remote and onsite guidance for a wide array of wireless APs and offer support such as Aironet wireless AP set up, Cisco Meraki wireless AP cloud management, Cisco Small Business 100/300/500 wireless access point consulting, Cisco Catalyst Wi-Fi access point solution design, Ubiquiti UniFi WiFi AP configuration, and Apple AirPort wireless access point setup. Progent's on-premises wireless survey includes consultation with your network management staff to define target functionality for the Wi-Fi network. Progent's BICSI RCDD and Ekahau certified wireless survey professionals can recommend affordable WLAN improvements that utilize modern Wi-Fi technology and deliver top business value.

Progent offers help for creating a modern BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) Wi-Fi environment by delivering services like iPhone and iPad integration, and Android phone and tablet consulting. iPhones and iPads, Androids, Windows Phones, and other handheld devices can present client density issues and may also create transmission power mismatches that call for careful setup for access points. Progent's Wi-Fi site survey provides the information necessary to understand these challenges and build an affordable and effective BYOD ecosystem.

Deliverables for Progent's predictive and on-premises wireless site surveys can include:

• RF Wi-Fi Spectrum Analysis including detection of RF issues associated with your facility's layout, physical structure, and other possible causes of RF interference so you can anticipate and resolve issues during the WLAN planning phase.
• RF Coverage Maps that show color RF contour images for the areas requiring coverage to help you to select the most efficient number and position of WAPs and identify potential RF spillover zones and holes in coverage
• Capacity Plan for defining and delivering the bandwidth required to support all applications and users
• Cable Paths indicated as line diagrams you can supply to cabling installers
• Device Installation guidance on where and how to install Wi-Fi devices plus description of additional hardware that may be required (NEMA enclosures, radio antennas, etc.)
• Infrastructure Requirements to specify all facility and networking resources needed to support the wireless environment like available switch interfaces, Power over Ethernet (POE), electrical power, and rack capacity
