Solution

Our Solution

Beginning with our Virtual Site Walk, our engineers evaluate the radio frequency (RF) environment to determine the ideal network and the equipment placement for each location. Population density, work area, construction materials, surrounding businesses and even geographical features such as lakes, rivers or unusual terrain can affect the quality of the RF signal and our proprietary platform rates each factor. With a database of more than 16,000 installations over the past decade, we understand the RF environment and how to determine which network will perform best.

We then dispatch trained professional engineers to install the equipment and optimize the connection, a process which generally takes 3 hours or less. We work with your IT team to connect the gateway to your existing network infrastructure and test the quality of the connection, ensuring optimal performance of your business applications.

Our cloud platform monitors the performance of each link and displays a color-coded, network map designating each link as Optimal, Good, Fair or Access Failure. The system alerts your IT team and our US-based Help Desk whenever a link score falls below Good, permitting early identification and resolution of issues, often before users detect an issue. If a change in the RF environment requires a re-optimization of the link, we work with your team to schedule a convenient maintenance window 24 hours per day. Summary and detailed historic and projected data traffic, utilization patterns and billing data is available on demand through the customer portal.

Connectivity

Our managed connectivity ensures the best quality connection for each location by partnering with leading mobile network operators including AT&T, Verizon, Sprint to ensure virtually 100% coverage. We evaluate the performance of each tower to optimize transmission quality. Our network platform provides a comprehensive view of your entire wireless network through a single source, and will notify you if any changes occur. We pool data across cellular networks allowing you to manage isolated outages on your network with unused capacity from other locations, minimizing overage charges. Our network engineers will work with you to implement a failover design to mitigate downtime risk and if required will interface with the carrier to quickly resolve issues.

Equipment

We manufacture, install and support the most advanced wireless technology in the industry. Our gateways provide secure, high-performance connectivity designed to endure a wide variety of conditions. Our gateways and antennas are remotely manageable, and can be purchased, leased or rented to suit your budget requirements. When a change in the carrier is required, rental equipment is re-deployed to the site at no charge to the customer.
