Wireless

Customers can now deploy wireless LANs with the same confidence they do wired networks, with the aid of Nilsen’s suite of wireless solutions. Nilsen offers planning, installation, confirmation and ongoing support.

Nilsen’s can also offer assistance and consultation from the Professional Services team of technology experts and partners.

Predictive Surveys

Nilsen’s Wireless team uses the AirMagnet Planner Program to build a detailed model of the required coverage areas. Site plans/drawings are used to simulate performance based on the RF characteristics of the building materials. This allows the correct number, placement and configuration of APs and antennae. Nilsen generates a full report of the wireless environment, including a bill of materials for the infrastructure purchase and configuration.

Analysis and Confirmation survey

After the wireless infrastructure installation Nilsen conducts a Wireless Confirmation Survey. This benchmarks the system and guarantees coverage levels. Nilsen uses the AirMagnet Survey program capturing live RF data during the site survey. The live data collected from the active and passive surveys enables Nilsen to simulate and measure network performance in the most scientific way possible, with an accurate depiction of the RF environment.
