Business wireless design, 802.1X and RADIUS

Wireless designed for buildings where coverage failures cost money: warehouses with racking that moves, schools with hundreds of devices in one room at the same minute, churches with a full house on Sunday and nobody on Tuesday. Includes 802.1X and RADIUS authentication so staff credentials replace a shared password taped inside a cabinet.

Today: one router in the IT closet

Today: one router in the IT closet A 6,000 square foot business seen from above: offices at the front and a warehouse with five rows of metal racking behind a block wall. One router sits in the IT closet. The break room and IT closet have strong signal, the open office and packing area are weak, and reception, the conference room, the far office and every warehouse aisle are dead zones. break roomITopen officeweak signalofficeweaksignalofficedeadzonereceptiondeadzoneconferencedeadzonewarehouse, 12 ft rackingaisles: dead zonepackingdock doors

Designed: five access points

Designed: five access points The same building with two access points in the offices and three mounted high over the warehouse aisles, including one at the dock end. The warehouse units reach along the aisles, between the racks, rather than through them.

This is the work the owner did before this company existed: wireless design and deployment in warehouses, schools, and churches. It is also why the residential designs are more conservative than most, because a network built to survive a school at 8:15am does not struggle with a family at dinner.

What is included

  • Capacity design, meaning a count based on devices per room rather than on square footage alone
  • Site survey with the racking, inventory, or seating in place, since an empty warehouse surveys nothing like a full one
  • 802.1X with RADIUS so departing staff lose access by disabling one account
  • Separate networks for staff, guests, point of sale, and building systems
  • Documentation you own, so you are never held hostage by your installer

What moves the price

  • Square footage, ceiling height, and what is stored in the building
  • Peak device count per area, which drives capacity more than coverage does
  • What wiring the building already has and where the equipment room is, since most commercial buildings already have both
  • Compliance requirements that apply to your industry

The number comes from the survey, once somebody has measured the building. We do not publish one here because it would be wrong for most houses.

Questions people actually ask

Why is a warehouse harder than an office of the same size?

Because the building changes. Racking full of product absorbs and reflects signal completely differently than empty racking, ceiling height puts the access points far from the devices, and scanners and forklift terminals roam constantly across a large floor. A survey taken in an empty building is close to worthless.

What does 802.1X give me that a password does not?

Every user authenticates as themselves. When somebody leaves, you disable one account instead of changing a shared password and then redistributing it to everyone who stayed. It also lets you put people on the right network automatically based on who they are.

Start with the free consult

Up to thirty minutes, by phone or video, and it costs nothing. We go through what equipment you have now, what the house is doing, and which of the services here actually fits. Often the answer is that you do not need me yet.
