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. If
you have already completed your
requirements analysis, the first
step in the installation process is
a Predictive Coverage Analysis and
establishment of a Network Plan.
To complete the Predictive
Coverage Analysis
a
detailed site
plan is required. A floor plan image or
CAD data is required
for all of the
buildings and all of the floors.
Supported formats
for the floor plan
images are: bmp,
dib, dwg, dxf, emf, gif, vsd,
jpg, and wmf. The
more detailed the
better, especially
if the drawings have
wall types or show
were double wall
thicknesses have
been used.
The Predictive Coverage Analysis
produces a Network Plan that
includes the access points locations
and signal coverage predictions.
Once the Network Plan is
established, a visual inspection of
the site is needed. The Network Plan
generated by the predictive coverage
assessment and analysis serves as
the basis for the site's visual
inspection and the pre-deployment
site survey. A budgetary estimate
for the access points and their
installation is accomplished since
that the number and locations of the
access points are known.
The Predictive
Coverage Analysis is
normally followed by
a Pre-Deployment
Site Survey. A
properly conducted
pre-deployment site
survey can help
ensure that the
ultimate network
installation
operates at peak
efficiency with a
minimum of
extraneous or
conflicting
components.
Installation is the
most physically demanding phase of
the project and includes 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 wireless network is then installed at the
customer's site using the
Network Plan modified, if necessary,
by the results of the Pre-Deployment
Site Survey. The 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
- Final configuration of
access points and hardware
- A Post-Deployment Sit Survey
is conducted to verify that the
wireless coverage, signal
strength, and throughput
requirements are met.
- Documentation, warranty
information, and Wireless
LAN operation settings and
passwords are then provided to the
customer
