Site Surveys and Installation

Implementation Process and Timeline
With the decision to have WiVo as your data communications provider, your company enters into a new era of technology sophistication. An environment allowing capacity, connectivity and bandwidth issues to be easily resolved. After deciding on WiVo as your access provider, the sequence of events is as follows:

		Site Survey* - A detailed site survey will be conducted in conjunction with your IT Department to analyze your specific needs and the timeline necessary to accomplish it..
		Execute a contract that precisely defines the services that you want implemented and maintained by WiVo . WiVo 's mission is to meet and exceed your expectations. To accomplish this, an experienced member of WiVo 's implementation team will be assigned as the key contact with your IT Department to coordinate all activities.
		Installation** - The WiVo installation team will come in and prepare all of the equipment necessary (antennas, transceivers, processors, etc.) and complete the installation. The installation team will also provide the training necessary to your IT Department.
		The post installation process is network integration and testing, which ensures that the network is meeting your required specifications.
		And finally, WiVo will monitor the network and associated connectivity to ensure that the quality you expect is delivered.

		The system's configuration and performance objectives.
		The costs, advantages and disadvantages of alternative configurations to meet performance objectives.
		The recommended design to meet the cost and performance objectives.
		The site survey should provide all of the information needed to ensure that the wireless system is properly designed.

		The users, applications and equipment on the LANs that are to be integrated. - This details the configurations of the LANs already installed or that are planned for Installation in the buildings.
		The wireless system best suited for the application. - Wireless systems are combinations or routers, bridges, hubs, and clients, as well as cables and antennas. The site survey will determine the right combination of these components for the application
		The free space path requirements between antennas. - A clear RF line of site must exist between the antenna locations. If no visible barriers exist between the Subscriber Unit (SU) and Access Point (AP), normally the sites can be linked.
		The specific places where each component should be located. - Antennas must be positioned high enough for a clear RF line of sight. The wireless bridge/routers or hubs are normally placed in a computer room or wiring closet, collocated with the servers.
		Whether to use a point-to-point or multipoint configuration. - Most wireless systems provided by WiVo can be configured with an option for multipoint operation. There are specific exceptions, which will be noted by your WiVo wireless engineer.
		Potential sources of interference in the alternative RF bands. - For complex connections in environments where the airways tend to be busy, it may also be necessary to check for competing signals with a Spectrum Analyzer. Spectrum analysis can detect and measure potential sources of interference in any selected RF band.
		The federal, state, and local regulations. - It is important to follow FCC and National Electrical Codes in the construction of masts and towers, and the electrical grounding of the system. All designs and installations must comply with the appropriate regulations. WiVo engineers will work with your staff to determine any special compliance issues for local regulations.

**Installation
Wivo installation technicians will install the CPE at the customer's location typically in a couple of hours using non-penetrating tripods, or an existing structure on the roof or side of the building.  Indoor window mounting is also possible.  The CAT5 cable plugs directly into a customer Ethernet LAN, firewall or PC. Our equipment uses Power over Ethernet (PoE) so WiVo requires a power source at the point of termination. The technicians will test the connection and provide the client with DNS, IP Addresses and any other pertinent technical information.

Our goal is to make the installation and transition or migration to WiVo Wireless Broadband as smooth as possible. We will make every effort to assist your IT personnel and familiarize them with the troubleshooting checklist.
