Frequently Asked Questions

Wireless mesh networking creates a network of interconnected access points that work together to provide seamless Wi-Fi coverage. In a mesh network, only one access point needs to be physically connected to your internet modem. The other access points (nodes) communicate with each other wirelessly, extending the network's range and providing redundancy. If one node fails, the network can automatically reroute through other nodes, ensuring consistent connectivity. This technology is particularly useful for covering large areas or complex building layouts where traditional Wi-Fi setups might struggle.

The latest Wi-Fi standards are Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and Wi-Fi 6E:
  • Wi-Fi 6 offers faster speeds, increased capacity, and better performance in crowded areas compared to Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac).
  • Wi-Fi 6 operates on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, while Wi-Fi 6E adds support for the 6 GHz band, providing even more bandwidth and less interference.
  • Both standards use advanced technologies like OFDMA and MU-MIMO to improve efficiency and reduce latency.
  • Wi-Fi 6 and 6E are particularly beneficial for environments with many connected devices, such as offices or public spaces.
We can help you choose the best standard for your business needs and ensure your network is future-proofed.

We implement multiple layers of security to protect your wireless network:
  • Strong encryption protocols to secure data transmission
  • Network segmentation to isolate guest and corporate networks
  • Regular firmware updates to patch security vulnerabilities
  • Intrusion detection and prevention systems
  • Multi-factor authentication for network access
  • Virtual Private Network (VPN) integration for secure remote access
  • Continuous monitoring for unusual activities or potential threats
We tailor our security approach to meet your specific business needs and compliance requirements.

Eliminating Wi-Fi dead zones involves several strategies:
  • Conduct a professional site survey to identify problem areas
  • Strategically place additional access points to extend coverage
  • Implement mesh networking for seamless coverage across large areas
  • Use Wi-Fi extenders or repeaters for hard-to-reach spots
  • Upgrade to more powerful, enterprise-grade access points
  • Adjust the placement and channel settings of existing access points
Our team can assess your specific situation and implement the most effective solution to ensure comprehensive coverage throughout your office space.

Several factors can interfere with Wi-Fi signal strength:
  • Physical obstacles like walls, floors, and metal objects
  • Electronic interference from other devices (microwaves, cordless phones)
  • Overlapping Wi-Fi networks in densely populated areas
  • Distance from the access point
  • Outdated or malfunctioning network equipment
  • Incorrect channel or frequency band settings
Our experts can conduct a thorough analysis of your environment to identify and mitigate these interference factors, ensuring optimal Wi-Fi performance.

For high-density environments, we employ several specialized techniques:
  • Deploy access points designed for high-capacity scenarios
  • Implement band steering to efficiently use both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies
  • Use advanced technologies like MU-MIMO for simultaneous connections
  • Configure load balancing to distribute connections across multiple access points
  • Optimize channel width and frequency settings to reduce interference
  • Implement Quality of Service (QoS) to prioritize critical applications
These strategies ensure that even in crowded spaces, your Wi-Fi network can handle the high demand for connections without compromising on speed or reliability.

Wi-Fi networks operate using radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields, similar to other wireless technologies. According to major health organizations and regulatory bodies:
  • Wi-Fi exposure levels are typically well below international safety limits
  • Extensive research has not shown consistent evidence of adverse health effects from Wi-Fi exposure
  • Wi-Fi devices emit much lower RF levels compared to cell phones
  • The World Health Organization (WHO) states that current evidence does not confirm the existence of any health consequences from exposure to low-level electromagnetic fields
While we prioritize performance and security, we also stay informed about the latest research and guidelines to ensure our installations adhere to all safety standards.

Wi-Fi solutions play a crucial role in supporting IoT devices in business environments:
  • Provide necessary connectivity for a wide range of IoT devices (sensors, smart devices, etc.)
  • Enable centralized management and monitoring of IoT devices
  • Support low-power Wi-Fi standards (like Wi-Fi HaLow) for battery-operated IoT devices
  • Implement network segmentation to isolate and secure IoT traffic
  • Ensure sufficient bandwidth and low latency for real-time IoT applications
  • Facilitate data collection and analysis from IoT devices for business intelligence
Our Wi-Fi solutions are designed to accommodate the growing IoT ecosystem, providing the foundation for smart, connected business environments.
