WiFi Surveys, Optimization, Design, Spectrum Analysis

involvs analyzing coverage areas, identifying interference sources, and strategically placing access points to ensure optimal wireless performance, reliability, and security.

Our Experience

We assess site requirements, conduct site surveys, select optimal access point placements, ensuring sufficient coverage, minimizing interference, and configuring network settings for high performance, security, and scalability.

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy in designing WiFi networks is centered around reliable performance, seamless connectivity, and scalability, ensuring optimal coverage, minimal interference, and robust security to meet both current and future network demands. We prioritize user experience, adaptability to diverse environments, and efficient resource utilization to create high-performing, secure wireless solutions.

Advanced Services

In today’s business world, any company not connected via the latest WiFi technologies is left behind. Few system glitches are more frustrating than a slow Internet delaying company communication and productivity.

Improve Primary Coverage

WiFi primary coverage refers to the area where wireless signals are strong enough to provide reliable connectivity, ensuring that devices can access the network without significant interference or signal loss.

Improve SNR (signal to noise ratio)

Signal strength can be impacted by a big variety of things, such as bad designs, physical material, and bad controller configurations.

Noise can come from other Wi-Fi networks, such as personal hotspots or rogue devices, and even non-Wi-Fi devices like microwaves, wireless video cameras, and Bluetooth devices.

Reduce Channel Interference

Interference occurs when multiple devices or networks use overlapping frequency channels, causing signal disruption, reduced performance, and slower speeds. It can be minimized by selecting non-overlapping channels and optimizing access point placement.

Adjust Channel Widths

WiFi channel width refers to the amount of spectrum allocated to a wireless channel, with wider channels (e.g., 40 MHz, 80 MHz, 160 MHz) allowing higher data throughput but potentially increasing interference, while narrower channels (e.g., 20 MHz) offer more stability in congested areas.

Mitigate Interfering Devices

To mitigate interfering devices in WiFi networks, strategies include choosing non-overlapping channels, adjusting channel width, optimizing access point placement, using 5 GHz bands for less congestion, and implementing interference-resistant technologies like beamforming and band steering. Additionally, reducing power levels and updating firmware can help minimize disruptions from neighboring networks or devices.

Good Encryption Settings

WiFi encryption settings are used to secure wireless networks and protect data from unauthorized access. The most common encryption protocols are:

WPA3 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 3): The latest and most secure encryption standard, offering enhanced protection against brute-force attacks and improved security for public networks.
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2): Widely used, providing strong encryption with AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), but less secure than WPA3.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy): An older, outdated, and insecure encryption method that should be avoided.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access): An older protocol that uses TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), which is more secure than WEP but less secure than WPA2.

For optimal security, it's recommended to use WPA3 when possible, followed by WPA2 with AES encryption. Always avoid using WEP due to its vulnerabilities.

For a full WiFi experience

WiFi-related solutions involves several key stages:

Concept and Requirements

Understand the needs and goals, such as coverage, capacity, and security. This step includes defining the user experience, expected traffic, and locations that need connectivity.

Site Survey

We will conduct a thorough site survey to analyze signal strength, potential interference, and obstacles that might affect WiFi coverage. This will help in selecting the right hardware and placement strategy.

Network Design

Based on the survey results, we will design the network layout, including the placement of access points, channel selection, and coverage zones. The design will ensure optimal performance and scalability.

Hardware and Configuration

We will select the WiFi access points, routers, and network controllers. Configure them for security (e.g., WPA3), performance (e.g., load balancing, QoS), and scalability to handle future expansion.

Deployment

We will install the hardware in the identified locations, ensuring optimal placement for maximum coverage and minimal interference. Perform tests to validate signal strength, speed, and reliability.

Optimization and Troubleshooting

We will monitor the network to identify bottlenecks, adjust settings for optimal performance, and troubleshoot any connectivity issues. We use the latest in Wifi Analyzers for aid in troubleshooting.
