Wireless Networks

Because Deploying A Wireless LAN Can Be Challenging Enough!

Purple Communications provides the full range of wireless solutions, from specialist wireless survey service, to WLAN installations, to installations offering bandwidth capacity encompassing 2mbps links to 155mbps and above.

The scale of these installations is vast:  we can provide a wireless network supporting a small LAN of a few PCs located in one room, to full, uninterrupted WLAN coverage of a multi-storey building; from a wireless link between adjacent buildings to a multi-kilometre ‘line-of-sight' solution supporting multi-function links between designated areas.

How many AP’s will be needed for coverage?, How will they be powered?, What configuration model should be used?, Should I go for a fat/thin AP solution?, Will they give the performance required for my applications?

Why try to estimate the answers to these questions?.… Any errors could prove to be very expensive!

Purple Communications engineers can carry out a comprehensive survey from which we can fully cost the wireless solution for you. We can even deal with the physical implementation and, in some cases, utilise cabling that is now redundant due to your wireless deployment.

We use the latest surveying technology to design the perfect wireless network to suit your requirements.
Troubleshooting Existing Wireless LANs

The environment in which your WLAN exists is forever changing. Performing a wireless health check can prevent issues before they become a problem, adding potential economic benefits. If you’re already experiencing problems with your wireless LAN, then a full network analysis can be performed and a solution provided.

The recent advances in wireless technology providing greater bandwidth and increased speeds, together with the decreasing cost of the equipment means that wireless solutions are becoming a realistic option for many organisations.

We will consider wireless technology when providing cabling solutions, and appreciate the benefit of such systems where installing a traditional cabling system is impractical, cost-prohibitive, or not feasible due to the nature of the environment.
    
Wireless surveys are a fundamentally important element when considering a wireless network, initially establishing feasibility and then confirming further technical details and optimum Access Point location.  We have developed a specialist wireless survey service for customers considering a wireless solution.


Wireless Bridging & Building to Building Links
Purple Communications also specialises in private bridging solutions. These wireless bridges provide point to point link between sites over short or long distances, avoiding the significant cost associated with fibre cabling or leased lines.

We offer the following WLAN connectivity solutions:
 

  • Licensed Microwave
  • Free Space Optics (FSO)
  • Radio Frequency (RF)
