what we do
Assess requirements and objectives
At Baiden Group we begin by understanding the specific needs of the network. Considering factors such as coverage area, number of users, types of devices, desired data rates, security requirements, and future scalability.
Site survey and analysis
Conduct a thorough analysis of the physical environment where the network will be deployed. Evaluate factors like building layout, wall materials, interference sources, and potential obstacles. Perform a site survey to determine signal propagation characteristics, signal strength, and potential coverage limitations.
Network architecture
Based on the requirements and site analysis, develop a network architecture that defines the layout of access points (APs), their placement, and interconnectivity. Consider factors like coverage overlap, capacity planning, and seamless roaming between APs.
Channel planning
Determine the optimal channel allocation strategy to minimize interference and maximize network performance. Identify potential sources of interference (e.g., other wireless networks, microwave ovens, Bluetooth devices) and select appropriate channels and channel widths for each AP.
Security considerations
Develop a comprehensive security strategy for the wireless network. This may involve implementing encryption protocols (e.g., WPA2, WPA3), configuring authentication mechanisms (e.g., passwords, certificates), and setting up access controls (e.g., VLANs, firewall rules).
Quality of Service (QoS)
Define policies to prioritize critical applications and services over the network, ensuring that they receive adequate bandwidth and low latency. QoS settings can be used to prioritize voice and video traffic or other time-sensitive applications.
Redundancy and scalability
Plan for network redundancy and scalability to accommodate future growth. Consider implementing redundant APs, controllers, or mesh networking to ensure high availability and seamless connectivity.
Equipment selection
Choose suitable wireless networking equipment, including access points, controllers, switches, and network management tools. Consider factors such as vendor reputation, compatibility, support, and budget constraints.
Implementation and testing
Deploy the wireless network infrastructure according to the design plan. Conduct thorough testing to verify coverage, performance, and security. Fine-tune the configuration based on the results and user feedback.
