REQUIREMENTS ASSESSMENTS

To tailor an in-building wireless solution that aligns with your specific requirements, initiating an in-depth discovery session is crucial. This collaborative dialogue allows us to gain comprehensive insights into various pivotal aspects, including the number and dimensions of the facilities under consideration, their unique layouts, and the existing systems already in operation within these spaces. By delving into these specifics and more, we can effectively evaluate your needs, laying the groundwork for a customized approach that ensures optimal performance and seamless integration with your existing infrastructure.

RF BENCHMARKING AND TESTING

RF benchmark testing evaluates the performance, coverage, and reliability of wireless communication systems like public safety radio, cellular networks, or Wi-Fi in real-world settings. By measuring parameters such as signal strength, signal-to-noise ratio, and data transfer rates at multiple locations, it identifies areas with weak signals or interference. This testing offers critical insights to optimize network infrastructure, enhance user experience, and ensure consistent connectivity in diverse environments like commercial buildings, stadiums, and campuses.

DAS PLANNING AND DESIGN

After comprehensively assessing your needs, evaluating signal quality across your facilities, and reviewing existing systems alongside your building floor plans, we meticulously plan the strategic placement of essential infrastructure. This includes optimizing antenna distribution, choosing the right carrier partners, and crafting a detailed visualization of your new system's layout. Using advanced tools like iBwave design, we ensure a floor-by-floor depiction, offering a clear picture of anticipated coverage levels and system integration.
