Introduction to Progent's Wireless Consulting
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:
Wi-Fi In-building and Campus Networks
If you are using 802.11x (Wi-Fi) wireless networking to expand the reach of your office LAN or to support BYOD devices like smartphones and tablets, or if you want to create an Internet of Things (IoT) environment, Progent's Cisco Meraki WiFi 6/6E AP experts, Cisco Catalyst WiFi 6/6E AP integrators, and Ubiquiti UniFi WiFi 6/6E AP consultants can help you design a viable Wi-Fi topology, recommend appropriate hardware and software components, and integrate access points, wireless LAN client adapters, bridges, antennas and accessories.

Cisco's Catalyst 9100 Series WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E APs
Cisco's Catalyst 9100 family of WiFi 6/6E access points are designed for deployments ranging from telecommuter homes to crowded enterprise campuses. Catalyst 9100 APs are based on the 802.11ax standard, referred to as WiFi 6, which in turn builds on the preceding 802.11ac (WiFi 5) standard. Unlike 802.11ac, Wi-Fi 6 is designed to use both the 2.4-Ghz and 5-GHz bands. Important technologies supported by Cisco Catalyst 9100 Series APs include MU-MIMO support for uplink traffic, dual NAVs for better reliability, increased device sleep time for reduced power consumption in battery-powered endpoints, adaptive sensitivity thresholds for more efficient spectrum utilization, and extended guard intervals for improved outdoor performance. All Catalyst 9100 Series 802.11ax APs can run Cisco's Embedded Wireless Controller (EWC), handle up to 200 client users per radio, and are powered by Cisco IOS XE Software. Newer Catalyst APs support the 6-GHz spectrum expansion opened up by the Wi-Fi 6E standard, offering over double the bandwidth available to older WiFi products. For details about Progent's consulting services for Cisco's Catalyst 9100 Series Wi-Fi 6/6E APs, see Wi-Fi 6/6E APs solution planning, deployment, and debugging services.
Cisco Aironet Wi-Fi Access Point Configuration and Support
Cisco's popular Aironet line of Wi-Fi access points (APs) has evolved in concert with Wi-Fi technology and has steadily delivered enhancements in speed, density, coverage, security, manageability and reliability. Current Aironet Wave 2 wireless APs support up to 400 clients each and can handle data rates of more than 5 Gbps. Networks of Aironet APs integrated with Cisco's Prime Infrastructure or DNA Center architectures allow you to build multi-site Wi-Fi LANs with up to 18,000 centrally-managed APs supporting as many as 64,000 clients. Progent's Cisco CCIE-certified wireless networking consultants can provide remote or onsite consulting and troubleshooting services to help you design, deploy, update, optimize, manage and debug Aironet Wi-Fi deployments of any size or topology. Find out more about Progent's Cisco Aironet Wi-Fi access point consulting 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.

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. For details, visit Cisco Wi-Fi controller consulting and support services.
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. Learn more about Progent's Cisco wireless IP phone integration consulting.
