Duxbury Transforms Wireless Implementation in South Africa Through Innovative Technical Solutions
Duxbury Networking, a leading South African networking distributor, has announced the launch of four professional technical service offerings designed to transform the way businesses design, validate, and monitor their wireless networks. These innovative services aim to eliminate guesswork errors in wireless network setup and provide South African businesses with the tools needed to build reliable wireless environments from the outset.
The four services include:
1. **AP on a Stick Wireless Survey**: This method uses a portable access point to conduct site surveys, identifying optimal locations for wireless infrastructure. The AP on a Stick Wireless Survey is a real-world validation service that tests access point performance onsite before installation.
2. **Passive Wireless Survey**: This type of survey captures data on existing wireless networks without interfering with them, providing insights into network performance and coverage. Passive Wireless Survey is a walk-through-based service for troubleshooting existing networks and identifying root causes of user complaints.
3. **Predictive Wireless Survey**: This service uses simulation tools to predict wireless network performance, aiding in the design and planning of networks before physical deployment. Predictive Wireless Survey provides 3D-modelled, software-based Wi-Fi design for new builds or expansions.
4. **User Experience Monitoring Service**: This service focuses on monitoring the actual user experience of a wireless network, ensuring that it meets the required standards of performance and reliability. User Experience Monitoring emulates real user behavior to continuously test both LAN and Wi-Fi network services and application performance.
André Kannemeyer, Chief Technology Officer of Duxbury Networking, emphasised the importance of these services, stating that too many networks in South Africa are built without validation, monitoring, or proper planning. These services are essential steps in modern network lifecycle management.
The services will be delivered and supported by Duxbury's national technical team, and they include full reporting, site walkthroughs, pre- and post-project consultations, and easy collaboration tools. These offerings are part of Duxbury Networking's broader strategy to provide value-added services.
The launch of these services is in response to the need for proper planning, validation, and monitoring of networks, as connectivity has become mission-critical. These services are valuable for lean IT teams, contractors, and service integrators looking to strengthen their offerings without taking on unnecessary risk.
All four services are now available to Duxbury partners and customers nationwide. By implementing these services, businesses can reduce complexity, prevent failure, and improve the long-term success of wireless deployments.
- To ensure the success and reliability of wireless deployments, Duxbury Networking's Software-based Predictive Wireless Survey utilizes simulation tools, aiding in the design and planning of networks using 3D models before physical deployment.
- To streamline the process of troubleshooting existing networks and identify root causes of user complaints, Duxbury Networking offers the Data-and-Cloud-Computing enabled Passive Wireless Survey, which captures data on existing wireless networks without interfering with them.
