Wi-Fi that holds up when the building is full.
Enterprise wireless designed, deployed and managed for apartment buildings, campgrounds, hotels, schools and public agencies across Southwest Oregon. Surveyed before it is quoted, monitored after it is live.
Coverage is designed, not guessed. Every deployment starts with a survey of the actual building or grounds, because concrete, trees and steel decide the answer more than the hardware does.
A Wi-Fi complaint is almost never about the Wi-Fi.
The hardware is rarely the problem. Placement, capacity, channel planning and the cabling behind it are. Which is why buying faster access points and mounting them in the same places changes very little.
The fundamentals have not changed since the first 802.11 networks went in. Placement, power and channel planning still decide whether it works. What changed is how many devices walk through the door at once.
Five environments, five very different problems.
Large-scale wireless is not one design repeated in different buildings. A campground and a classroom fail in opposite ways, and the survey is what tells them apart.
Multi-dwelling wireless
Hundreds of units, concrete and steel between every one of them, and residents who expect the same speed they get at home. Coverage has to continue through hallways, laundry rooms and lounges, and each unit has to stay separated from the next.

Recreational wireless
Acres of open ground and tree cover, equipment that lives outdoors in every season, and a load that can triple on a holiday weekend. Outdoor-rated access points and a design built for the busiest weekend, not the average one.

Hospitality wireless
Guests judge the whole stay on the signal in the farthest room. Meanwhile reservations, point of sale and back-office systems need to stay well away from guest traffic, on separated networks that never see each other.

Educational wireless
Thirty devices in one room waking at the same moment, then doing it again next period. Capacity planned room by room, with student, staff and building systems kept on separate networks rather than sharing one.

Municipal wireless
Public access and internal operations running on the same infrastructure without ever touching each other. We work with organizations from a full city hall down to a two-person water district, and the segmentation matters just as much at both ends.

Anyone can count rooms and multiply. A design that holds up needs somebody standing in the building with a meter, because the same floor plan behaves differently in timber, block and steel.
A survey costs less than a second install.
The cheapest moment to find a dead zone is before the cable is pulled and the access points are mounted. The most expensive is after the guests arrive.
Survey the real space
We walk the building or the grounds and measure. Construction materials, floor plans, tree cover and the distance between where people actually sit decide the design more than the hardware does.
Design for the busiest hour
Access point placement, channel plan and capacity sized for the full building, the full campground or the classroom at the start of a period, not the quiet average.
Deploy and verify
Mounting, cabling, configuration and network separation, then testing on site to confirm the coverage matches the plan before anyone else relies on it.
Monitor and grow
Ongoing monitoring, firmware updates and capacity added as the building fills or the season changes, so a failed access point raises an alert rather than a complaint.
No hardware controller to buy, replace or outgrow.
Traditional enterprise wireless put a dedicated controller appliance in your rack, and everything depended on it. A software controller replaces it, so the brain of the network runs wherever it suits you and scales without a forklift upgrade.
We standardize on Ubiquiti UniFi. One management application covers every access point, switch and gateway we install, which is why adding a building later joins the system you already have instead of starting a second one.
On premises
Running on a PC, Mac or Linux machine in your own building, for organizations that want everything local.
Private cloud
Hosted in your own cloud environment, managed centrally and reachable from anywhere you work.
Public cloud
Deployed with any public cloud service, with no on-site hardware beyond the access points themselves.
Separated networks
Guest, staff, resident and building systems on their own segments, so one never becomes a route into another.
Central visibility
Every access point reporting to one place, so problems are located rather than hunted for.
Power over the same cable
Access points powered through the network cable, which means fewer outlets and cleaner installs in finished spaces.
Built to be added to
New buildings, floors or outdoor areas join the same managed system rather than becoming a second network to maintain.
Every access point ends in a cable. We run those too.
Wireless is the last few feet of a wired network. Access points need cable pulled to the right places, switches with power to feed them and a connection behind all of it that can carry the load. A wireless design that ignores any of those is a design that disappoints on a busy day.
We handle structured cabling and the network alongside the wireless, so one team owns the whole path instead of three trades pointing at each other.
Wireless only
Surveyed, designed and deployed on the network and cabling you already have.
Wireless, cabling and network
Cable runs, switching and access points planned together, so the wireless is not limited by what is behind it.
Wireless inside managed IT
Monitored, updated and expanded as part of your managed IT agreement, and planned on the same technology roadmap as everything else.
How many access points will we need?
That is what the survey answers. Building materials, floor plans, outdoor distances and how many devices connect at once all change the number, sometimes by a factor of two. Anyone quoting a count without walking the space is guessing, and the guess is usually low.
Can guests be kept away from our business systems?
Yes, and they should be. Guest, staff and building systems run on separate segments of the same infrastructure, so someone on the guest network cannot reach your point of sale, your records or your cameras.
Do access points need cabling?
Almost always. Each one needs a cable run back to a switch, which also supplies its power. That is why cabling and wireless are usually planned together, and why we handle both.
Will it cover outdoor areas?
Outdoor-rated access points cover RV sites, campgrounds, patios, courtyards and parking areas. Outdoor coverage is a different design problem from indoor, which is part of why the survey covers the grounds as well as the buildings.
What happens when we add a building or a season gets busier?
New access points join the same managed system rather than becoming a second network. Capacity gets added where the survey and the monitoring say it is needed, which is usually not where people assume.
Who looks after it once it is installed?
We do, if you want that. Monitoring catches a failed access point before the complaints start, and firmware stays current. If you would rather run it yourself, you get the documentation and the access to do so.
