Wireless LAN
Installation for the
Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex
RHO Wireless will plan the
wireless installation, install your
wireless network, and then test and
verify the operation of the wireless
network. The installation will be
documented for future reference. The
first step of the installation is
the site survey.
Site Survey
A wireless site survey is a
physical survey of the premises to
verify the best possible locations
to install access points and
bridges to ensure 100% wireless
coverage. When considering the use
of wireless equipment, it is
extremely difficult to predict the
propagation of radio waves and
detect the presence of interfering
signals. Walls, doors, elevator
shafts, trees, and other obstacles
offer varying degrees of
attenuation, which cause the radio
frequency (RF) radiation pattern to
be irregular and unpredictable. As a
result, a wireless site survey
is performed to understand the
behavior of radio waves at the
installation site. The goal of the
site survey is to gather enough
information and data to verify the
number and placement of access
points and bridges that will provide
the coverage required. Coverage
required usually means the support
of a minimum data rate in a given
area. A site Survey will also detect
the presence of radio interference
coming from other sources that could
degrade the performance of the
wireless LAN. The need and
complexity of a site survey will
vary depending on the size and
make-up of the installation site.
RHO Wireless will perform a
preliminary site survey to aide in
the development of a customer's
estimate or quotation.
Installation
The installation phase is the
most physically demanding phase of
the project and includes a setup and
testing to ensure that the selected
Wireless LAN hardware will provide
the desired coverage and bandwidth
to the Wireless LAN users. Prior to
installation, the hardware is
normally configured and tested in
the laboratory to ensure that the
installation progresses smoothly.
The access points, antennas, and/or
bridges are installed at the
customer's site using the plan
produced during the site survey. The
installation is then tested with
verification of link quality and
throughput.
Activities that take
place during installation phase
include:
- Lab configuration and
testing of access points,
bridges, routers and switches
- Connection of the router
and/or switches to the broadband
backbone (DSL, Cable, T-1, T-3,
or DCS-3), and verification of
operation
- Mounting and connection of
access points, antennas and/or
bridges
- Mounting of power injectors,
if required
- Verification of coverage and
access point/bridge placement
- Final configuration of
access points and hardware
- Wireless LAN operational
demonstration and verification
with the customer
- Documentation, warranty
information, and Wireless
LAN operation settings and
passwords provided to the
customer
