Introduction to Progent's Wireless Support
Progent's Wi-Fi Consulting Services offer businesses a fast, affordable way to integrate the latest Wi-Fi technology into their information networks. Few small businesses have in-house IT staffs with the expertise or time to keep up to date on the fast-changing world of Wi-Fi products and services, and even fewer have the field experience to cut through the hype in order to identify and integrate optimal connectivity solutions. Progent's extensive background in the integration and management of wireless technology makes it possible to offer expert consulting support for a broad range of wireless environments and applications. Consulting services available from Progent cover a variety of wireless technologies including:

Catalyst 9100 Line of Wireless Access Points
Cisco's Catalyst 9100 line of Wi-Fi 6 APs are intended for deployments ranging from telecommuter homes to crowded stadiums. Catalyst 9100 APs are based on the 802.11ax specification, referred to as Wi-Fi 6, which in turn builds on the preceding 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) specification. Unlike 802.11ac, Wi-Fi 6 is able to use both the 2.4-Ghz and 5-GHz bands. Important technologies supported by Catalyst 9100 Series access points include OFDMA scheduling for high density deployments, dual NAVs for improved dependability, TWT for conserving power usage in battery-powered endpoints, adaptive power thresholds for better spectrum utilization, and dynamic fragmentation for reduced overhead. All Cisco Catalyst 9100 802.11ax APs can run Cisco's Embedded Wireless Controller, accommodate up to 200 clients per radio, and are powered by Cisco IOS XE Software. To find out more about Progent's support for Catalyst 9100 Series Wireless APs, see 802.11ax access points solution planning, deployment, and management services.
Cisco Small Business 100, 300 and 500 Series Wireless Access Points
Cisco's Small Business 100, 300 and 500 series wireless access points are Linux-based devices designed as entry-level 802.11n Wi-Fi solutions for small offices. Many models in the Cisco Small Business family of wireless access points support Cisco's Single Point Setup technology, which makes it possible to configure, manage and troubleshoot a cluster of access points from a single device via a simple browser-based interface. All models support Power over Ethernet (POE) and feature QoS, rogue access point detection, and bridge mode for wirelessly connecting to a second Ethernet network. For more information about Progent's consulting expertise for Cisco Small Business 100, 300 and 500 Series Wi-Fi access points, refer to Cisco Small Business 100/300/500 Series planning and integration consulting.

For details, see Ubiquiti UniFi Wi-Fi access points consulting and wireless LAN integration.
Cisco Wi-Fi Controller Management Consulting
Cisco Wi-Fi controllers, also referred to as wireless LAN or WLAN controllers, allow realtime provisioning, management, monitoring and analytics for Cisco Wi-Fi appliances and services, including Cisco's Wave 2 Aironet Wi-Fi access points and Catalyst Wi-Fi 6 APs. Cisco offers hardware and software-only Wi-Fi controllers. Both enable centralized management of Wi-Fi networks, but environments with a large number of wireless access points or multiple sites can deliver better performance with physical Wi-Fi controller appliances. Current generation Wi-Fi controller appliances from Cisco deliver major advantages over earlier models including higher performance, concurrent support for 1G and 10G ports, improved application visibility and control (AVC), and advanced security. Progent's certified wireless networking consultants offer online and onsite expertise to help you design and implement Wi-Fi solutions that incorporate Cisco's wireless controllers for deployments of any size.

Cisco Wireless IP Phone Integration and Troubleshooting
Cisco's wireless IP phones are hardened Wi-Fi handsets intended for professionals who are mobile within campus, warehouse, retail or other venues where IT management requires portable phones that provide more control, data security and durability than is possible with the BYOD (Bring-Your-Own-Device) style of mobile communications. Integration of Cisco's wireless VoIP phones typically requires that you configure and optimize multiple components of your wireless infrastructure including access points, routers and switches, wireless LAN controllers, and call management tools. Progent's certified experts can provide remote and on-premises assistance to help your organization create and manage a Cisco wireless IP phone deployment by delivering services that range from troubleshooting the configuration of a wireless VoIP phone or a wireless access point to offering comprehensive project management outsourcing or co-sourcing for modernizing the Wi-Fi infrastructure of a campus.
