We provide network protocol analysis tools, software, and test equipment for WLAN support teams and our Tactical Remote Analysis Consulting (TRAC) service provides analysis of protocol analysis packet capture trace files. We can dispatch a service technician to your site from over 200 locations across the United States . When you need to implement successful Wi-Fi wireless networking, "We've got you covered!" The need for a Wi-Fi wireless networking site survey is a topic of great interest to every business contemplating the purchase of wireless networking equipment . Companies in the general marketplace offer site survey and prediction software to map out the design of a Wi-Fi 802.11 WLAN. Of course, at Connect802, we believe that you should perform an RF site survey to identify the number and location of access points by first applying RF modeling and simulation to the WiFi site survey project so that an AutoCAD drawing file with the site survey predictions can be the starting point for the overall system design. WiFi site surveys using predictive modeling ("virtual WiFi site survey") provides planning, deployment guidelines, and analysis of the Wi-Fi radio transmission behavior and performance, plus WiFi wireless network security from the RF network coverage and coverage map standpoint is part of each professional proposal.
