The planning stage is critical to any IT or telecommunications project and begins with an accurate, detailed site survey of your existing offices and IT infrastructure.
This is important because every office branch and warehouse is unique, even in the most carefully planned national enterprises. Square footage, MDF/IDF locations, cabling and hardware can all vary from location to location and may change over time.
TechsNOW has performed thousands of site surveys leading to successful implementations of wireless local networks in small, medium and large environments. Combining industry-leading software and analysis techniques with expert knowledge, TechsNOW engineers map out the ins and outs of your existing infrastructure.
Our team can then use this crucial information to design the expected operating environment, compatibility requirements and network structure.
Whether you have an upcoming rollout of equipment or are engaged in an internal IT audit, let TechsNOW help you with this important function.
