With wireless becoming more and more prominent in the workplace, it is more important than ever to properly plan and implement a wireless network installation. Introducing an improperly planned and/or designed wireless network into an environment can have many problematic symptoms, below are a few:

• Security: People can ride your network and bypass security configurations.
• Dead Spots: Lack of coverage in areas can cause disruptions with productivity and convenience.
• Interference: Improperly configured wireless and infrastructure devices can degrade signals.
• Over Coverage: Companies may waste fiscal resources when signal quality is weak by just adding more access points.

Sound Incorporated recognizes these issues and has dedicated a significant amount of resources to ensure our technicians are trained in these respective fields. Sound Incorporated is an Advanced Wireless LAN Specialized Cisco Partner, with various Certified Professionals on hand to assist with the many facets of designing and implementing networks, including a CCNA-Wireless / Advanced Wireless Field Specialist to implement our highly developed methodology of wireless implementation.

1. Discovery: First, we understand what your needs are for your wireless and get floor plans/blue prints for your location. Different environments need to be designed differently. A warehouse environment may use entirely different equipment than an office environment. We also take into consideration the wall structures, floor structures, density, and much more.
2. Design: Based on the data we gathered during our discovery phase we will design a custom wireless installation that will fit your needs accurately and completely. Highly sophisticated software allows us to create a virtual map of your location via the floor plans you provided us. We then can input the parameters of the structure and estimate a “heat map” of the prospective access points. This allows us to accurately estimate the quantity of access points and the most effective placement instead of guessing.

3. Implementation: Once our designs are complete and verified, we will then install and configure your equipment to the design specs. During this process we will also be verifying our design by doing live surveys of the environment. The surveys will provide us with signal strength indicators as well as possible causes of external/internal interference.
4. Support: After the initial installation, there can always be changes. As your company grows, so may your requirements of your wireless network. Additional surveys based on the changes in your environment may move/add access points as necessary. Since the software we use allows us to save your initial project layout, making accurate adjustments is fairly simple and quick. Sound Incorporated stands behind our work and our team of specialists will work with you until the situation is resolved.

Sound Incorporated understands the importance of a reliable wireless network. That is why we take care to ensure that your network is as dependable as possible.
