For businesses in Chicago, we provide comprehensive wireless installation services designed to deliver seamless connectivity throughout any environment. After a detailed Site Survey to assess wireless needs, we craft customized solutions using a network of meshed wireless access points under one SSID, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity. Our expert team includes licensed electricians, lift operators, and consultant engineers to address specific installation requirements, followed by a thorough retest of the setup to verify reliability.
Site Survey
Site survey is done with electricians, lift operators, and engineers.& it's basically done to identify wireless requirements and assess environmental challenges.
Custom Network Design
Custom Network is designed with meshed wireless access points for seamless connectivity. And Management service involves to monitor, manage, and secure the network in real-time.
With a “measure twice, cut once” approach, we ensure every wireless solution is crafted to meet each company’s unique needs, providing a high-performance and stable wireless network from the outset.
Like any project, we believe to measure twice and cut once!
We can manage, monitor, update, deploy, tweak, troubleshoot a business’ wireless system and manage other networking devices in our management services.
The long and short of it, is that wireless networks are quick, easy to implement, and can be relatively inexpensive in-comparison to other tools.
Wireless implementations need a Site Survey (wireless needs assessment), to establish what will be needed to fit a company’s wireless needs.
Once your wireless network is up and running, it’s important to review the security settings of the network. It’s also a good time to fully document the network’s security settings so that others can understand what is going on with the network. Many wireless networking tools allow you to create an audit trail for your network. This can be incredibly helpful for documenting the network’s security settings. The devices that offer the lowest total cost of ownership generally have security protocol standards built-in and malleable in terms of upgrades to stay secure with any type of wireless network security protocols that may come in the future.
This is called ‘future-proofing’ but it really means ‘upgradable for the foreseeable future.’ It will allow you to quickly review the settings of each access point and router on the network. It will also allow you to track any changes made to the network over time. This can help prevent unauthorized changes to the network by other employees or contractors.
Putting a wireless network in place isn’t as simple as opening a box or downloading the correct software. en planning to install a wireless network at your small or mid-sized firm, you’ll need to take several things into consideration first. Otherwise, you risk running into issues later on as your network goes into production. Key project plan milestones to installing a wireless network at your small or midsized firm by Agility Network Services, Inc.
Standard Establishment
The first step in installing a wireless network is understanding the standards behind it. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is responsible for developing and managing the standards by which most networking products are built. Standards that are commonly used for both small and large networks include 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n. 802.11a operates on the 5GHz frequency band and is used in high-density environments.
On-Site Cisco Wireless Survey
Before installing a wireless network, a Cisco field engineer should visit the site to survey the area for any potential challenges. The engineer will bring along a survey tool that can provide a high-level view of the local network. The survey will provide visual representations of the network topology, interference, and RF (radio frequency) noise. This can help determine the best placement for wireless access points.
Network Hardware Selection of Wireless Access Points
There are several factors to consider when selecting wireless access points. These include AP type, AP throughput, AP operating frequency, range, mount type, power source, AP security type, and mounting location. AP type – Enterprise-grade access points are for larger networks wherease End-user premises equipment (UE) access points are for small networks.
Wireless Network Topology and Layout
The topology of a network refers to the design of the network hardware and other components. The layout refers to the actual physical location of the network hardware. The topology and layout of a network should be planned out before installing the wireless network. This will help to avoid any potential issues associated with retrofitting the network after the fact. Some common network topologies include bus, star, and ring.
Installation and Configuration
. You’ll want to install the wireless access points in the location where you want the network coverage to be. This will vary depending on the environment. You might have to get creative to fit the APs into the desired location. The key thing is to make sure that the APs are in the best position possible to provide network coverage. This will allow wireless devices to connect to the network & ensuring it’s properly connected.
Wireless Network Security Measures
The devices that offer the lowest total cost of ownership generally have security protocol standards built-in and malleable in terms of upgrades to stay secure with any type of wireless network security protocols that may come in the future. This is called ‘future-proofing’ but it really means ‘upgradable for the foreseeable future.’ This can help prevent unauthorized changes to the network by other employees or contractors.
The main objective of agility network which include Wifi networks and Wireless LAN installation. We go above and beyond to ensure your business runs smoothly, securely, and efficiently.
Enables devices to connect to the internet or local network without physical cables, offering flexibility and mobility.
Supports high-speed data transmission, suitable for browsing, streaming, and file sharing.
Can accommodate multiple devices, such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, and smart home gadgets, simultaneously.
Offers security protocols (WPA2, WPA3) to encrypt data and protect the network from unauthorized access.
Seamless handoff between access points, allowing devices to move within the network area without losing connection.
Provides a separate network for guests, ensuring the main network remains secure.
ou need a wireless router or access point, devices to connect (like laptops, smartphones, or tablets), and sometimes additional hardware like extenders for larger areas.
You can improve signal strength by placing the router in a central location, reducing physical obstructions, using range extenders, and upgrading to a more powerful router.
The 2.4GHz band covers a larger area but has lower speeds and is more prone to interference. The 5GHz band offers faster speeds but covers a smaller area and has less interference.
Yes, most routers support multiple devices. However, the more devices connected, the more bandwidth is shared, which may affect performance.
A mesh network consists of multiple interconnected devices (nodes) that provide seamless coverage throughout an area, unlike traditional setups that rely on a single router.
