Connect802 Corporation
Founded in 1994,
Connect802 Corporation is a privately
held California corporation with
headquarters in San Ramon, California
and a field engineering office in
Knoxville, Tennessee.
What We Do
Connect802 designs, sells and deploys secure, cost-effective wireless data network systems for Internet access, file server and database access, wireless Voice-over-IP, video camera surveillance, access control, RFID backhaul, environmental control and security systems, roaming robots, inventory control, and mobile handheld devices.
SITEMAP
Why We're Different
We are significantly differentiated from other value-added resellers and consulting companies through our Connect EZ Solution Suite product and service packages. These complete, turnkey wireless systems are unique in the following ways.
Design Is Based On Predictive RF CAD Modeling:
System design based on predictive RF CAD modeling and simulation which helps avoid a costly, time-consuming, and often inaccurate on-site wireless survey because our RF engineering team can build an accurate, 3-dimensional representation of a proposed installation site in the virtual CAD environment. Radio equipment and antennas are designed into the RF-accurate model with the ability to explore unlimited installation options and observe the signal coverage and capacity results in the simulation without having to walk around at a site and try to figure out how to design the network.
Equipment Has Been Evaluated For Excellence
We have evaluated wireless network equipment from all the major manufacturers (and a number of tier-two manufacturers as well) and we've selected a product mix that provides best-in-class products and software. More importantly, our sales and engineering team has a deep understanding of the features and capabilities of the available options in the market
Connect802 Has a Nationwide Presence
Through our
affiliate relationship with over
200 local, licensed electrical
contractors and our West Coast
and East Coast engineering staff
we can dispatch an on-site team
to any location in the United States
(including Alaska and Hawaii).
From hospitals in Hawaii to major
universities in the Northeast,
from containerized cargo ports
on the Florida coast to the Oregon
coast, and everywhere
in-between, Connect802 is perhaps
the only firm that exclusively
focuses on wireless data networking
that can provide this scope of
service.
We Bring a Broad Scope of Experience to Your Project
While Connect802 focuses exclusively on wireless network system design, product sales, on-site services, installation and support we also have the expertise and experience to integrate our systems into you existing IT infrastructure. We bring a technology team to your project that not only includes appropriately certified wireless network engineers and RF engineers but also includes network engineers with deep knowledge of network architecture and protocol interaction. We know about 802.11 Wi-Fi but we also know about OSPF and BGP. We know how RF signals propagate but we also know how Spanning Tree Algorithm operates with Port Fast. We're with you on IPv4 and IPv6, MPLS, and all the other current technologies that are part of your IT landscape. Bottom line: we know networking; not just wireless networking. This is a critical skillset to have in a project team because your wireless network system is going to be an extension of your wired IP (or other) infrastructure. These have to work together to make your project successful.
About the Company Name
Our company name is a reminder that we focus on wireless data networking which emerges from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) project 802, the IEEE family of standards dealing with local area networks. IEEE 802.11 is the familiar family of Wi-Fi wireless networking standards, IEEE 802.16 are the WiMAX standards and 802.22 are the standards for Wireless Regional Area Networks. We are also active in the area of Wireless Medical Telemetry Systems (WMTS) and cellular voice and paging which, while they fall outside the IEEE 802 standards family, have similar design characteristics.
A Brief Company History
Connect802 was founded as a California corporation in 1994, originally as Optimized Engineering Corporation. Our focus was on wired Ethernet LANs with special emphasis on packet-level protocol analysis. We began the transition to the wireless space in 1998 and changed the name of the company to Connect802 Corporation in 2003 as we began to focus exclusively on wireless data networking. The company founders are part of the company's current senior management team and bring with them the mature vision and direction that will keep Connect802 moving forward into today's evolving technological landscape. |
