5 simple steps to a perfect WiFi infrastructure
First of all, you need to clarify in a conversation which requirements your target WiFi infrastructure should be subject to (see above in "Requirements"). Such a preliminary discussion should of course be conducted with one of our certified WiFi experts. The need for digital WiFi planning and coverage should also be taken into consideration.
Using your existing building plans - also CAD plans or similar graphics - we analyse the structural conditions and identify associated potential sources of interference and problem zones. Possible mounting criteria are also important, as there are access points for walls and ceilings that contain a different distribution of signal strength.
Now, taking into account points one and two, the appropriate products can be selected.
In order to be able to show you the exact number of access points required, professional WiFi planning is recommended. Of course, the number of components can be estimated from experience, but detailed preparation helps to maximise the efficiency of resources.
Once the number of components has been determined, reliable delivery takes place. Our WiFi engineers are also happy to take over the configuration, helping you to smoothly set up your comprehensive WiFi infrastructure.
