Computer Help for Midsize Companies

Progent's Wi-Fi site survey consultants can help you to design, configure, optimize, and debug a Wi-Fi network of any size and for any venue, offering you a wireless solution that has the coverage, throughput, density, Quality of Service, data protection, and hand-off capability your organization requires. Wi-Fi site survey services offered by Progent include remote predictive analysis for designing a wireless network and onsite RF measurement for validating, tuning, and debugging an operational Wi-Fi LAN.

Progent's wireless survey consultants are certified in the use of Ekahau's RF modeling applications for designing your Wi-Fi deployment and Ekahau's spectrum analysis hardware for capturing Wi-Fi packets at your facility to measure performance and detect problems. Progent's wireless professionals are experts at setting up all major Wi-Fi AP models and Wi-Fi controller appliances including older products and modern 802.11ax appliances.

Progent's Predictive Wireless Modeling Services
Progent's predictive Wi-Fi planning services can be performed offsite and make use of cutting-edge RF simulation and analysis software to design an efficient Wi-Fi network. With predictive planning, you send Progent's wireless professionals your facility's floor plans and a description of your physical environment including walls, doors, cable access, elevator shafts, and building materials. You also specify your coverage, density, and performance requirements plus any constraints. In addition, you project the types of endpoint devices your clients will operate, the software they will use, and the peak wireless traffic they will generate. Progent will utilize your input to create a mathematical simulation of your facility and devise a design that includes the preferred manufacturers for your APs and controllers, the required number of APs, their ideal placement and antenna type, their most effective configuration and their predicted performance.

Progent's On-premises Wi-Fi Site Survey
Progent's onsite wireless survey utilizes Ekahau's purpose-built RF signal collection instrument and associated software to help you to validate, tune, and troubleshoot an existing Wi-Fi infrastructure. This is commonly undertaken immediately after a recent deployment or used as a diagnostic tool to scale, tune, or troubleshoot a mature Wi-Fi network. Offered across the United States, Progent's onsite Wi-Fi survey services feature walkthrough measuring for RF coverage and contention, detection of access point overpopulation, signal propagation tracking, security auditing, and identification of the best locations for client-specified Wireless APs.

Progent can deliver remote and on-premises guidance for a broad array of Wi-Fi access points and offer support such as Aironet wireless AP integration, Cisco Meraki Wi-Fi AP cloud management, Cisco Small Business 100/300/500 wireless access point consulting, Cisco Catalyst Wi-Fi access point solution planning, Ubiquity UniFi wireless AP configuration, and Apple AirPort wireless access point setup. Progent's on-premises survey includes interviews with your network management to define target functionality for the Wi-Fi network. Progent's RCCD and Ekahau certified Wi-Fi survey experts can recommend cost-effective WLAN enhancements that incorporate the latest wireless products and provide top business value.

Progent can provide help for building a state-of-the-art BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) Wi-Fi network by providing services such as iPhone and iPad integration, and Android phone and tablet consulting. Apple iPhones and tablets, Androids, Windows Phones, and other mobile endpoints can present client density issues and can also cause transmit power mismatches that call for special configuration of access points. Progent's wireless 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 Wi-Fi site surveys can include:

• RF Spectrum Analysis including detection of RF issues related to your environment's arrangement, material structure, and other possible causes of RF interference so you can foresee and resolve problems during the wireless network design process.
• Coverage Maps in the form of color RF contour images (heat maps) for the spots requiring coverage to assist you to select the most efficient number and position of WAPs and identify likely signal spillover areas and holes in coverage
• Capacity Plan for specifying and delivering the bandwidth required to accommodate all apps and clients
• Cable Paths indicated as line diagrams you can provide to cabling installers
• Device Installation advice on where and how to deploy Wi-Fi devices plus description of special hardware that may be needed (NEMA enclosures, antennas, etc.)
• Infrastructure Requirements to specify all facility and networking equipment needed to support the wireless deployment such as available switch ports, POE, electrical power, and rack space
