For a business that relies heavily on Wi-Fi to support their collaborative working environment, it’s imperative for Green Cross Health to have strong coverage. Green Cross Health were experiencing a number of network issues in many of their meeting rooms, from connectivity interferences to it dropping out completely. Their devices were also approaching their end of life date (EOL) which was a contributing factor. That’s why, Green Cross approached the team at Noel Leeming Tech Solutions to review their network and propose a solution to upgrade their Wi-Fi and improve the network performance to meet business requirements.
This involved using a predictive tool which enabled them to identify the quality of the network coverage throughout the building, producing a heatmap. “Not everyone uses Wi-Fi planning tools but it provides complete transparency. We can use this information in our recommendations on where access points need to be located in order to provide optional performance. Once the work is done, another post implementation heatmap is taken to ensure the coverage delivers the improvements. This provides the client with a measurement of success for undertaking the upgrade work.” Iain Hally explains.
