TurkMesh Communications can install
your wireless network, test it and certify its operation. Upon completion,
every installation is documented for future reference.
The installation phase is the most
physically demanding phase of the project because ladders or lifts may be
required to gain access to ceiling areas. Using the survey report as a guide,
the installation can proceed smoothly. The access points and antennas will be
installed in the facility using the marked up drawing made after the site
survey. Usually, the higher the access points and antennas are mounted, the
better the signal will propagate.
Some of the activities that will
take place during the installation include but are not limited to:
- Mounting of access points
- Installation of NEMA enclosures on case-by-case
basis
- Mounting of antennas
- Connection of antennas to access points
- Connection of Backbone LAN to access points
- Connection of power to access points
- Installation and connection of remote power
system
- Verification of coverage
- Configuration of access points and hardware to
include:
- Proper firmware level
- Radio information (system ID, channel, bit rate)
- IP addresses (provided by customer)
- Verification of backbone connectivity:
- Ping access points
- Ping Hosts
All cabling and power runs should
be done and tested prior to the installation of the access points. After
completing the installation, testing for proper operation and coverage may
indicate the need to move access points and possibly use different settings.
Finally, documentation on all the system hardware and software will be provided
to the IT staff as an aid to be used when supporting the operational system.
