Common Client Specifics:

1. Wireless signal drops out at various rooms in the house.
2. Client works from home and needs wireless signal delivered throughout the property versus having it delivered to only one or two rooms.
3. Limited access to run new Cat 5 cables.
4. Residents use three or more wireless devices, laptops, printers, PDA’s, iDevice docking station concurrently.
5. Multiple complications arise in interior coverage issues artificially created by the residences’ interior walls, tiles, mirrors, granite, multiple floors, etc.
6. A friend is a wiz with computers and has rigged a not so inexpensive network solution which only works like my brother in law – sporadically. (Okay, I threw that one in. But does it sound sadly familiar?)

Monster Home to Happy Home:

SF WiFi has serviced homes in San Francisco and the Peninsula that did not receive quality signal coverage. The owners had spent time and hundreds of dollars outfitting their homes with inefficient wireless equipment. We’ve heard it all from trying numerous repeaters, running bits of cable, and moving access points. They’ve basically have tried everything short of wiring up the kitchen sink. Needless to say, none of these methods provided a reliable solution. We admit, clients always seem skeptical when they first meet us. Their usual cry for help is, “We’ve tried everything.” But after working with us we usually hear “Why didn’t I call you sooner!”

 Process:

As a special service SF WiFi provides a free site survey to all our customers. We have found this survey helps us determine signal coverage, design access point placement, and client application needs while at the same time saves the client money. We then submit a proposal outlining our design, equipment, and installation costs.

 Final Note:

What are you really looking for in a wireless network? If it’s great coverage, reliability, stable throughput, no dropouts, and ease of use then join the long list of customers SF WiFi has satisfied over the years. Our success rate is 100%–just ask us for our referrals. We can provide your happy home a reliable wireless network so you can get the work done while listening to Pandora by the patio pool.

Exciting !!

We dig that the WiFi has 802.11n. That is a biggie.

“In specifying the solution for Dyke House School,” said Bob Haskins, Director of TrellisWorks, “we were looking for a system requiring minimal configuration but allowing quick and easy monitoring  of the access points from the centre, and providing each of the user groups with its own VLAN, SSID and security password.”

Installed by TrellisWorks and sourced from the distributor, Wireless Connectivity, this WLAN solution is based on U4EA’s Fusion 300 WLAN Controller linked to U4EA’s Fusion 50 (802.11b/g). An ideal WLAN
solution for schools, campus and academic environments, the Fusion system is optimised for environments with limited in-house IT or wireless expertise, and scales from a few users up to 250 users. It has plug-and-play set-up with corporate-grade functionality such as automatic RF optimisation, load balancing, seamless roaming, feature-rich security, integrated RADIUS and full carrier-grade voice QoS.”

“To be centrally managed and cover a number of departments across the school, we required a wireless LAN solution with ease of installation, advanced security and future scalability,” said Lee Miller,
IT Manager of Dyke House School. “The most cost efficient, U4EA’s products also have a very high level of functionality including the latest security, and yet the system was set up intuitively and quickly within about 30 minutes. Our students have laptops, PDAs and are IP literate, so our wireless network is a cornerstone in our ICT strategy to enable pupils and staff to have full use and access to the school’s network and applications in the coming years.”

“We are very pleased that our WLAN solution passed with flying colours,” said Adam O’Hare, U4EA’s European Sales Director. “Academic environments can be very difficult due to the number of user
groups and locations spread across any campus. However our award-winning WLAN system proved easy to install, resilient and workable – so bringing real and tangible benefits of wireless to the school.”
SF WiFi is a U4EA Technologies reseller.
