1. Plan

A successful WiFi deployment starts with a detailed plan phase.

This phase begins with gathering initial specifications such as WiFi coverage, number of clients, types of devices and defining critical business applications.

Services available in the "Plan Phase" are WiFi consultancy, network and WiFi surveys.

2. Design

Combining the initial customer specification and information gathered during planning we can start the consultative detailed design phase.

Coverage, capacity, applications, security are just some of the key elements taken into consideration for our designs while capturing the future aspirations of the network.

3. Integrate

Experience is the key element to success when installing and integrating wireless networks and with nearly 15 years’ experience there isn't a lesson we haven’t learnt.

Our engineers are extensively trained in physical installations, working at height, health and safety and they have active involvement in continually improving our processes. We have performed installations across Europe in the most complex of environments from manufacturing plants, warehousing, corporate offices, high streets and shopping malls.

4. Optimise

Validate the installed WiFi network against specifications and refine configurations for optimum performance.

Optimising ensures what was detailed in the planning and design phases have been delivered on. Taking the results from a validation survey and fine tuning adjustment as required.

5. Maintain

Upon successful project completion it is time to maintain.

Maintenance ensures the ongoing performance and support required by networks. Maintenance services are tailored to each specific network and customer need.

OFCOM opens 6GHz. What will it mean for businesses?

OFCOM have opened 500MHz of radio spectrum frequency in the new 6GHz band. This will significantly boost the speed of licence-exempt wireless networks. Low cost out-door wireless bridges currently available in 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz will soon have 6 GHz models. Because of the newly available frequency in the UK, these RLAN technologies (OFCOMS’s naming) will initially be operating in virtually interference free space. WiFi 6 (802.11ax) and 6 GHz means a series uplift in through put capacity, security, latency and a host of other benefits.

WiFi 6 has theoretical data speeds of 9.6 Gbps over the combined 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz bands.

The 6 GHz band for now will see most of the benefits in low cost wireless bridging applications where both ends of the link are 6 GHz native. WiFi enabled client devices (i.e smart phones) hoping to benefit from this new band are few and far between. In a few years you will be see new routers and client devices that need to operate with faster speeds capable of operating across the three bands.

Because 6 GHz has been available in other countries, many of the vendors for Point-to-Point equipment already have these radios ready to import to the UK and start shipping.

Ofcom’s Statement

Make the lower 6 GHz band (5925-6425 MHz) available for Wi-Fi and other RLAN technologies. Opening this band will make more channels available, increase capacity and reduce congestion in existing bands caused by large numbers of devices.
The release of this spectrum will also enable very low power (VLP) outdoor use. This will enable the development of new, innovative applications.
Remove the Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements from channels used by Wi-Fi in the 5.8 GHz band (5725-5850 MHz). DFS requires a router to scan for radars and to switch channel if suspected radar transmissions are detected. DFS can therefore represent a constraint for equipment manufacturers regarding quality of service and throughput as well as being the cause of connection delays for users. We are amending the requirements on this band on the basis that the risk of undue interference from indoor Wi-Fi use is extremely low. The removal of DFS will increase its use for indoor wireless applications and help reduce congestion in other bands.
