We provide consultancy services ranging from initial advice to continued support during your network roll out. Consultancy services offered include:

Network planning & design - Providing an efficient and optimized network requires an extensive understanding of the technical aspects of the operation of wireless equipment and network software. Having a network that can deliver the bandwidth, range, flexibility and expansion potential of your business needs requires careful expertise. Design and planning services to get the best possible performance include:

Computer modeling - A critical element in network is the careful planning of the routes used to connect different points of the network. Installing reliable wireless links requires the best possible line of sight, mounting positions and correct range between the radio transmitters.

The risks and uncertainty associated with proposed links can be significantly reduced by undertaking cost effective computer modeling. This technique can efficiently provide calculations on radio parameters such as the likely data throughput and availability, which can reduce the costs of field testing. Our design services include:

Site surveys - An important part of proving a network design is the validation of wireless links to ensure that reliable connections can be established. Undertaking on site testing of radio links can quantify the actual path loss and provide accurate information on the link performance. Surveying can provide confidence in the network design and reduce the risks of poor performance. Our site surveys include:

Installation & commissioning - Once you have planned, designed and procured the necessary elements of your network, South West Communications Group can undertake the installation and commissioning to ensure that the network is configured and operating effectively.

This critical phase of deploying your wireless infrastructure can have a major impact on the performance of the system and should be optimized to provide the best possible coverage and connection speeds.
