Advantages of Wireless & Mobility Solutions:

By utilizing Wireless LAN and communication solutions, our customers have deployed mobile, secure Wireless networking solutions capable of supporting voice, video and data much more rapidly and cost-efficiently than is possible with wired networking solutions.  Also, CTI Wireless solutions offer unique access and mobility that is not available with wired solutions, such as data and communication systems set up at temporary construction sites, older structures, and disaster areas.  Using industry-leading, state-of-the art Wireless products, CTI is able to design highly advanced Wireless LAN an access to and rapid deployment of network resources. 

Wireless Design Process:

CTI follows a rigorous Network Assessment process in the design of any wireless solution we deploy to ensure that the solution provides optimal performance and meets the requirements of the project.  CTI performs wireless site surveys for WLAN indoor solutions as well as high speed outdoor point to point and point to multipoint solutions.  Regardless of whether an indoor or outdoor solution is required, the fundamental objectives of the assessment process include the following key parameters:

• Business Discovery Workshop:  CTI will perform discovery meetings and personal interviews with the project stakeholders to determine the business requirements of the desired solution.

• Technical Discovery Workshop:  The technical discovery includes a detailed review of the existing wired architecture in terms of VLAN segmentation, inter-VLAN routing, infrastructure authentication, user authentication and access control to the applications sought over the wireless network.

• Development of Conceptual Design:  The result of the business and technical discovery workshop is a conceptual design document that addresses the needs of the customer from a high level perspective.  An agreed upon design concept is necessary in order to define precise field survey parameters.

• Spectrum Analysis and Physical Inspection:  The fundamental goal of this analysis is to (a) determine the existing radio frequency (RF) presence of wireless devices/networks within the facility, (b) determine the precise design locations for the access points/bridges and (c) develop a suitable channel plan to eliminate cross channel interference.

Wireless Product Selection and Design:

CTI employs the best combination of vendor hardware and software to achieve the desired business results of our customers.  These solutions include Cisco Systems, Tropos, AeroScout, Mobile Access, AirMagnet, Western Datacom, PanGo Networks, BlueSky Mast, NetMotion and of course our own product and development capabilities through our Electronic Systems Group and Software Engineering teams.

Wireless Network Deployment and Project Management:

CTI manages all projects in accordance with our documented Project Management Methodology.  This methodology outlines processes and procedures with proven success and significant flexibility in dealing with unique features associated with each project.

Wireless Capabilities:

CTI has designed and successfully deployed a wide variety of technically-advanced Wireless solutions for many differing business requirements.  Examples of our key projects include:

• Outdoor Wireless Mesh solutions with focus on enablement of process improvement for campus’ and municipalities emergency response, utilities and cultural services such as; Law Enforcement, Automated Meter Reading, public internet access, rapid deployments for disaster scenarios and more…
