How Professional WiFi Installers Avoid Common Issues and Optimise Performance
In today’s predominately digital world, businesses, organisations, and individuals worldwide have become dependent on wireless connectivity for just about everything from shopping, banking, and entertainment to data crunching, healthcare, air traffic control, video conferencing, and warfare. However, not all wireless networks are equal. Their effectiveness depends on the knowledge and experience of the WiFi installers who design, install, and maintain them.
Measures WiFi Installers Take for Optimal Performance
Issues with wireless networks are common and are more often due to factors like signal interference and inappropriately located components rather than equipment failure. Here are some of the measures taken by the professional installers at CCI Technologies to ensure consistent, optimal WiFi performance:
- Comprehensive Site Survey: Before installing a single cable, our network engineers will begin by assessing the proposed installation environment. They will examine the layout and building materials to identify potential “dead zones” and the best locations for access points to ensure comprehensive signal coverage.
- Strategic Equipment Placement: Correctly positioning routers and access points is crucial to the network’s performance. The expert WiFi installers from CCI Technologies will consider factors like the distance of equipment from walls, its height above ground level, and potential obstructions. For example, locating an access point too close to a thick wall could significantly reduce its efficiency.
- Signal Interference Management: Interference with WiFi signals is one of the most common causes of poor network performance, and it invariably requires an expert to pinpoint its source. The potential sources are manifold and include physical obstacles, various electronic devices, and even other WiFi networks operating at the same frequency. Our technicians employ advanced tools to analyse the local RF environment and make the necessary adjustments to eliminate interference and optimise signal strength.
- Equipment Configuration: A WiFi network may be prone to security vulnerabilities and erratic performance unless configured correctly. Our experienced WiFi installers will ensure that all network devices are configured in accordance with the prevailing standards and best practices. They will set up secure passwords and encryption methods and adjust Quality of Service settings to prioritise critical traffic.
- Cater for Future Growth: At CCI Technologies, we are as concerned about our clients’ potential future needs as we are about their current requirements. Hence, our WiFi installers design networks with expansion in mind. Our use of modular designs and scaleable hardware enables networks to adapt quickly and easily to changing requirements, saving our clients time and resources.
