Radio frequency (RF) waves perform in unique, often unpredictable
ways. Indoor and outdoor structural characteristics have a direct
impact on how RF behaves. For example, a building with concrete
walls will have a different RF "signature" than one with
walls of wood and sheetrock. In an outdoor setting, trees, which
have a high concentration of water, tend to absorb RF signals.
As these examples show, there are a multitude of factors that influence
RF propagation, and ABEO's RF Prediction practice focuses on understanding
these factors to design wireless LANs and solutions that work right
the first time.
Some wireless service companies guess about RF behavior and proceed to attach
access points in haphazard fashion. The result is an under-performing solution
and costly upgrades later. ABEO shuns this approach for a structured, systematic
assessment of RF behavior. Before we design a wireless solution, ABEO uses
industry leading RF prediction equipment to incorporate the physical characteristics
of your space, such as floor plans and building materials, and predict how
the RF will behave. ABEO conducts this work at your location; for every installation,
we visit your site and "walk the halls" with you to show you our
results and begin shaping your wireless solution.
