NET100 understands that when your Wi-Fi goes down, work stops. Therefore, it is imperative that we design your wireless network right the first time.
Much of the design process hinges around optimizing signal strength. A key parameter in arriving at the signal strength of any wireless network is signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which dictates the available modulation methods and maximum bit rates of wireless networks.
If the signal strength is weak it means network capacity is limited. On the other hand, unnecessarily high signal strength leads to unwanted network capacity limitations in the form of additional interference with other access points.
The Right Balance
To strike the right balance with signal strength, there needs to be accurate data measurements. A variety of factors can impact the measurements and make them unreliable:
- RF environment fluctuations
- Various survey device antenna design constraints
- Impact of surveyor behavior, including the route taken during the survey, how the device is carried, or at what speed
- Compromises in electrical or RF engineering of the measurement device
- Variability of the measurement device due to component, material or assembly process inaccuracies
Impact of Bad Data
Bad data resulting from any of these can cause performance and reliability issues with your Wi-Fi network. To prevent these problems, NET100 uses the most advanced measurement equipment from Ekahau to:
- Design with the right number of access points (APs) in the right locations for the highest performing Wi-Fi networks.
- Perform network optimizations to minimize RF interference and maximize coverage.
- Deliver up to 2X faster site surveys and 4 to 10X faster Wi-Fi spectrum analysis to minimize onsite time and save you money.
