WiFi / WLAN Design and 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. 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.
Site Surveys
A site survey is always performed first. 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.
Before installing any wireless devices we perform tests within a site. This is recommended because various obstacles such as doors, walls, mirrors,and elevator shafts might affect the radio frequency pattern, causing it to be irregular and unpredictable. Even with omni-directional antennas, radio waves do not travel the same distance in all directions. Our test can also detect any radio interference that might come from other sources and could affect the performance of the wireless LAN negatively. The ultimate goal of the site survey is to help determine the number and placement of the access points.
Access Points - WLAN Installation
IPS can integrate the WiFi system into your current network as well as install all the required wireless equipment and certify its operation. All cabling and power runs should be done and tested prior to the installation of access points.
Below is a list of activities that one might expect during an installation:- Mounting of access points
- Installation of enclosures on case-by-case basis (physical security)
- Mounting of antennas
- Connection of antennas to access points
- Connection of Backbone LAN to access points
- Connection of power to access points
- Installation and connection of remote power system
- Verification of coverage
Configuration of access points and hardware to include:
- Radio information (SSID, channel, bit rate)
- IP addresses
- Verification of backbone connectivity
