The wireless networking market is growing rapidly as businesses discover the productivity benefits of going wire-free. The increased mobility that WiFi networks offer has proved beneficial in operations throughout manufacturing facilities, warehouses, transportation depot, hotels, airports, hospitals, colleges, large enterprises as well as convention centers. In the corporation, conference rooms, public areas, and branch offices constitute ideal venues for wireless LANs (WLANs).

Common applications include:

• Business customer aggregation
• Enterprise/Campus Inter-building Connectivity
• City-wide Municipal Networks

WiFi / WLAN Network Design / Engineering

Deployment of a wireless network requires careful planning. Business requirements and objectives need to be evaluated and a site survey must be undertaken to determine possible sources of interference. This is a physical survey of the customer’s premises to locate the best possible places to install access points and ensure 100% wireless coverage and optimum performance.

WiFi Networks can be tricky to implement in high interference areas, be incompatible with existing equipment and can open up security risks. WLANs are best used in addition to – rather than a replacement to wired networks. Our engineers will assure proper planning when designing and implementing your wireless network. The complexity of your network will vary depending on the obstacles within and the size of your facility. All cabling and power runs will be tested prior to the installation of access points.

Advantages of WiFi Networks / WLANs

• Mobility – the most obvious and significant advantage of WiFi networks. Workers can access shared resources without looking for a cable and a place to plug in.
• Wide range of coverage expandable by the use of access points.
• Installation speed and flexibility – installation of a WLAN system can be fast and easy and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings. Furthermore, wireless LAN enables networks to be set up where wires might be impossible to install.
• Scalability – Wireless networks can be designed to be extremely simple or complex. WiFi networks can support large numbers of nodes and large physical areas by adding access points to extend coverage.
• Reduced cost of ownership thanks to minimal cabling and installation costs per device and user.
