Progent's Predictive Wi-Fi Modeling Services
Progent's predictive wireless design services can be carried out remotely and make use of cutting-edge RF modeling and analysis tools to plan an efficient Wi-Fi LAN. With predictive planning, you send Progent's wireless experts your facility's floor plans and a description of your physical environment including walls, doors, cabling, stairways, and relevant materials. You also specify your coverage, density, and throughput targets plus any constraints. Also, you estimate the kinds of devices your clients will connect, the software they will use, and the maximum traffic they will generate. Progent will use your input to build a mathematical model of your facility and develop a design that includes the preferred manufacturers for your APs and controllers, the recommended number of APs, their ideal location and antenna selection, their proper configuration and power settings and their anticipated performance.

Progent's On-premises Wi-Fi Site Survey
Progent's onsite wireless survey uses Ekahau's specialized RF signal collection instrument and related software tools to allow you to validate, optimize, and troubleshoot an existing wireless deployment. This is commonly undertaken immediately after a fresh deployment or used as a diagnostic tool to expand, optimize, or debug a mature wireless LAN. Offered across the United States, Progent's on-premises wireless survey services include walkthrough measuring for radio frequency coverage and contention, checking for AP overpopulation, RF propagation tracking, data protection assessment, and selection of the best placement for customer-specified Wi-Fi Access Points.
