Wireless Network Solutions:
Ensure that your network end-users have the most robust network possible for their workplace mobile devices and that’s through Icon Systems Inc. mobility site survey. To plan and design your wireless network, our team of experts will conduct a wireless site survey. This ensures you will get appropriate coverage, network capacity, roaming capability, and quality of service for their devices. A site analysis, a site survey focuses specifically on network range and which signal levels are needed to best serve your intended devices and software.
ICON provides Site Survey:
o Analyze WLAN metrics and RF spectrum characteristics
o Deliver a heat map showing RF coverage of the entire floor-plan
o Examine user experience, including pain points and system bottlenecks
o Determine minimal signal to noise ratio needed to support performance requirements
o Create a report that indicates optimal locations for wireless access points, sources of interference and areas of concern
Wi-Fi In Multi Dwelling Unit
Multi Dwelling living is an extremely challenging environment for designing and deploying Wi-Fi networks. The client device population of the guests literally changes on a nightly basis, so there is a constant barrage of new and unknown devices that are using the network.
It is also quite common for residents to have multiple client devices such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones connected simultaneously, and to use their own devices for entertainment, such as streaming media.
Residents expect the superior level of Wi-Fi experience, and the quality of the connection is often considered to be necessity of life. Additionally, the Wi-Fi network serves as infrastructure for the MDU’s operations, and may serve needs such as surveillance, Voice over IP, and IPTV. Thus, the demands on a MDU network are extremely high. ICON is positioned to mitigate any challenges for comfortable living.
ICON provides Cloud-based Premium Services:
o Wi-Fi AS A SERVICE
o Wi-Fi NETWORK MONITORING
o Wi-Fi MANAGED NETWORK SERVICES
Wi-Fi Service Management Platform
The Wi-Fi Service Management Platform (WSMP) allows Wi-Fi Network Administrators -either Service Providers (SPs), integrators or enterprises- to deliver WiFi services to customers of any vertical -from hotels to retail and workplaces or education, as many others.
WSMP is a software platform delivering everything Wi-Fi network administrators need to manage, operate, and monetize Guest Wi-Fi services from one unique platform.
What can Wi-Fi network managers do with WSMP?
Whether businesses like hotels or malls are managing their Wi-Fi service internally, or they have decided to do it through a Service Provider or Integrator, Wi-Fi network administrators will be able to easily operate the service and take the following actions:
- Provide Wi-Fi Connectivity
Configure the Wi-Fi experience: since hotspot deployments can be segmented into multi-level hierarchical structures, the Wi-Fi experience can be customized on each of them as well as apply different business rules to each one depending on their specific needs and client types. A centralized web-panel, the WSMP console, makes configuring these networks simple.
- Monetize services: multiple monetization rules can be set in exchange for Wi-Fi services, all depending on the business target pursued.
- Centrally manage multiple Wi-Fi networks and customer types: WSMP allows Wi-Fi network administrators to manage multiple Wi-Fi networks (from one shop to a commercial center with many of them, or from a hotel to a worldwide chain), and end-users connecting to those networks from a central location. This significantly reduces complexity and operation costs.
- Analyze performance: through the metrics dashboard, insight into how customers use the Wi-Fi network can be gained, as well as socio-demographic information on Wi-Fi users. Wi-Fi network administrators can obtain valuable KPIs that anticipate opportunities and challenges, helping business owners to implement continuous improvement strategies.
Why WSMP?
WSMP was specifically designed to include many advantages:
- Deployment versatility: cloud-based, on premises, or hybrid Open and pluggable: API-REST based, ensuring easy integration and adaptation to business context and needs High scalability & availability
