Mobility & Logistics Assessment
A wireless network is dynamic – effective coverage and capacity change constantly as physical and environmental factors influence the airspace of the facility. Interference can come from anywhere, even changes in warehouse inventory levels, for example. This, combined with the individual needs of various business systems (e.g. e-mail, telematics, RFID, VoIP) in place today and the roadmap of what systems are planned for the future, and the complexity of the needed system increases. It isn’t sufficient to simply install additional access points to obtain more coverage; this often only exasperates the issue. Whether you are planning a new installation or have an existing wireless network, an assessment can provide valuable insight and dramatically improve performance and security for all involved systems.
Coverage, capacity, quality of service, data throughput and security all matter. InfoLogix has the expertise to analyze your environment and custom tailor a plan for your business that can help you meet the needs of today and plan for the future.
To deploy an effective, scalable wireless network, you should:
- Understand present business systems needs and plans for future technology adoption
- Survey the physical site to detect background RF that may slow or stop network traffic
- Analyze space usage patterns to determine physical obstructions to wireless signals
- Develop a map to plan and place access points most efficiently throughout the site with minimal overlap
- Roll out wireless access points at strategic locations to maximize signal intensity and perform real-world tests on coverage
- Deploy appropriate security measures and equipment configured to best protect the data and the network
- Continually monitor and manage network components to adapt to the changing landscape
The InfoLogix Network Assessment service custom tailors an analytical assessment of your business that you can use to plan for and select the right wireless solution for today and the future.
InfoLogix engineers use industry leading RF spectrum and network analysis tools to perform a physical assessment of the environment, discuss industry best practices to determine the appropriate security needs, and deliver the best network design architecture and seamless user experience available. You’ll receive a predictive site survey report on the number of access points to install, where to put them and what factors could interfere – so that you can maximize the network’s effectiveness and your ROI without overspending. If an existing wireless network is in place, a thorough analysis will provide a detailed coverage map and help you determine if the infrastructure is meeting the business needs for today and the future.
