WLAN planning

Good connectivity is a fundamental requirement for professional work today. In addition to modern network cabling, a Wi-Fi network is the most critical part of network infrastructure. There is hardly a place left where fast, mobile communication via WLAN is not required, whether for internal company use or for guests, visitors, or flexible, mobile employees.

Our Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 5 portfolio includes access points for indoor and outdoor use, enabling high-performance and stable WLAN infrastructures.

For outdoor projects, the necessary wired broadband connections to the access points are usually missing. In such cases, you can further optimize the WLAN network with a separate, overarching point-to-multipoint (PMP) layer. This allows data backhauling to take place via a separate (mesh) wireless infrastructure, preventing unnecessary load on the access point's transmission. And all of this is managed through a single, vendor-consistent management platform!

Naturally, in addition to selecting professional hardware, a WLAN specialist should be consulted for planning and advice. Beyond full WLAN coverage, precise and individual WLAN requirements must be determined. These include user density, WLAN data transfer rates, external sources of interference, and, of course, WLAN security. Compart provides the necessary professional support for the planning and implementation of the optimal WLAN network with certified Ekahau specialists.

Ekahau WLAN Planning

Professional and efficient planning helps ensure the best possible success in implementing a WLAN hotspot. Whether it's winding office spaces, large halls with diverse metal structures, or extreme concrete masonry—every building complex has its own characteristics that require an individual WLAN infrastructure.

Ekahau is the leading software for WLAN demand analysis, simulation, and documentation. Our certified Ekahau technicians record all conditions during an on-site visit (site survey) and design the optimal WLAN network for you—upon request, in conjunction with the associated LAN infrastructure.

  • Recording the individual requirements of the project
  • Definition of the coverage area via a detailed site plan or rendered GIS cartography for conducting a site survey for radio field measurement, determining optimal hardware and software components, and identifying required technical locations
  • Hotspot installation site: Identification of buildings, masts, or streetlights, etc., where the required technology (access points, etc.) can be mounted
  • Power supply for hotspots: How will the power supply for the installation sites be configured? If no grid connection is available, COMPART can also provide "self-sufficient" mast locations with batteries and photovoltaic power supply.
  • Network access: Connecting the WiFi infrastructure (network access) to a service provider (internet access)
  • Solution design including backbone, APs, power and data supply, etc.

Site Survey

The site survey, also known as station planning, is a structural inspection during which all aspects relevant to execution are recorded and coordinated with other trades. This involves capturing all necessary details for coordination with other on-site trades, including determining the location of all systems (indoor/outdoor), identifying necessary antenna masts, technical cabinets, etc., and defining the routing for data and power cables. After the site survey, all the facts are on the table, allowing for the derivation and determination of almost all implementation costs.
