Progent's Predictive Wi-Fi Design Services
Progent's predictive Wi-Fi planning services can be carried out remotely and make use of advanced RF simulation and analysis software to design an efficient Wi-Fi network. With predictive design, you provide Progent's Wi-Fi experts your floor plans and a description of your environment including walls, doors, cable access, stairways, and relevant materials. You also specify your coverage, density, and performance targets as well as your constraints. Also, you estimate the kinds of endpoints your clients will connect, the apps they will run, and the maximum traffic volume they will produce. Progent will utilize your information to build a mathematical model of your facility and devise a plan that includes the preferred manufacturers for your access points, the recommended number of access points, their ideal location and antenna type, their proper configuration and power settings and their anticipated throughput.

Progent's On-premises Wi-Fi Site Survey
Progent's onsite Wi-Fi survey uses a purpose-built RF signal measurement instrument and associated software tools to help you to confirm, tune, and troubleshoot your current wireless deployment. This is typically performed immediately after a recent deployment or used as a diagnostic tool to expand, optimize, or troubleshoot a mature Wi-Fi network. Offered throughout the United States, Progent's on-premises Wi-Fi site survey services include walkthrough measuring for RF coverage and interference, checking for AP overpopulation, RF propagation tracking, security auditing, and selection of the best locations for client-requested Wi-Fi Access Points.

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