-Wireless Network-
Our wireless network services covers all types of wifi solutions for business. Our wireless engineers have years of experience across all vendors and environments including retail, logistics, hospitality and corporate. As always our wireless engineers chose the best solution for you with performance and wireless security are the forefront of decisions.
Why is wifi important in a modern business?
Wireless networks have become such an important piece of every business and consumers lives. Many businesses now run critical operations using wireless devices. This includes stock scanners in retail, logistical equipment in warehousing and client devices on corporate networks. In such environments an isp's broadband router will not cut it. Careful wifi planning and equipment selection has to be done so that environmental factors don't impact the wifi installation and experience. Wireless security also plays a huge roll when deploying wifi solutions for business.
Wireless Planning.
Wifi planning is probably the most important phase of any wireless network. At Networks Revived our wireless engineers can perform predictive, active and passive wifi surveys. We use Hamina planner to provide the best predictive wifi survey. And Hamina onsite to perform onsite active and passive surveys
When carrying out wifi planning and designing we take the below plus more into account
-
Spectrum analysis
-
Wireless channel planning
-
RF attenuation
-
AP Placement
-
Client density
-
Capacity
-
Wireless coverage
After the above has been considered we can confidently select the best wifi solution for your business.
Wireless security.
What good is it having the best wifi solution for your business if it isn't secure. Wifi doesnt have iron fence around it like physical locations so measures need to be taken. At Networks Revived we fully full implement the latest wireless security protocols, technologies and techniques. We typically segment the types of wireless traffic to avoid cross communication. We encourage our enterprise customers into using 802.1x using securely signed certificates. We understand not everyone is in this permission so other authentication and authorisation techniques are used unlike a typical consumer broadband routee.
What common wireless issues do some sectors experience?
Logistics
Logistics and warehousing tend to come across lots of multipath and RF attenuation issues due to high level racking and machinery.
Corporate
Corporate environments tend to have issues keeping the wireless network secure. Especially from their own staff and unmanaged wireless devices.
Retail
Many retailers experience density issues due to the large footfall of customers.
Hosptiality
In the leisure and hospitality coverage becomes a large issue. Old buildings with a large footprint becomes challenge environment for wireless where guest expect it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you troubleshoot and make suggestions on my current wireless network?
Yes, We can troubleshoot your existing wireless network either remotely or onsite. We can make suggestions and fine tune what you already have.
Can you remotely manage the wifi?
Yes of course, if you want us to manage your wireless network we can do.
How long does a predictive wifi survey take?
The duration it takes for a predictive wifi survey depends on the size of the building and other factors. Usually a predictive survey takes no longer then a day (8 hours)
How long does a onsite wifi take?
Again this depends on the size of the site. An on site survey will take a lot longer than a predictive wifi survey. This is due to onsite sis spectrum analysis, RF attenuation measurements and physically walking every square metre of the property. Some surveys can take days dependant on the complexity.
When do I need a predictive wifi survey?
Predictive surveys are now very accurate with modern software. 80% of the time a predictive survey will be sufficient. We recommend predictive surveys before any wireless network implementation at a minimum.
When do I need a on site survey?
We recommend active and passive wifi surveys for more complex environments or when building plans cannot be obtained. With onsite surveys we're able to analyse environmental factors what cannot be seen remotely. Onsite surveys are more accurate but more costly.
Can you captive and branded guest wifi portals for my business?
Yes, We can create company branded guest login portals which captures customer data for marketing.
How much does this cost?
Predictive wifi surveys are £100 + VAT per hour. Or a fixed price can be agreed.
Active and passive onsite wifi surveys are £150 +VAT per hour.
