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.

Google Project Loon - Balloon powered Wi-Fi

Then I remembered an article I read in January called 'Project Loon' by Google which sounds ridiculous but is actually an extremely clever concept.

Launched in June last year this is ostensibly wireless connections via a large balloon that looks very much like a weather balloon that Google can control remotely whilst they float on stratospheric winds close to the edge of the atmosphere over around 20km from the ground. The idea is to help feed the huge demand for internet in places where there is either no infrastructure in place or the cost for internet access can typically be the cost of an average annual salary.

The pilot for the scheme has just started in New Zealand where Google has released 30 balloons in a week with 50 guinea pigs trying to connect to them, so this doesn't just seem like hot air.

There is a long ways to go before this tech would go live and you have to wonder how it would work from a security point of view however I am excited to find out. For more info on this just search for project loon on your search engine of choice.
