Products
Our product mix has been carefully selected to provide you with the right Wi-Fi, WiMAX and wireless LAN equipment to meet the requirements of your project

Unique, 3-dimensional RF CAD modeling and simulation is applied to the network design process instead of performing a conventional on-site "walk around" site survey to create the design.

We provide complete engineering services both before the sale, during installation, and after the system is installed including RF Spectrum Analysis, Installation Planning, and On-Site Survey and Verification Services

We provide a broad range of educational and informational materials including our On-Line Encyclopedia, our Wi-Fi: Just the Facts tutorials, and many useful white papers and technical discussions.

Connect802 provides a broad range of technical support options including our exclusive Connection Coach Installation Guide that gets you up and running with a newly installed wireless LAN system.

We can dispatch a service technician to your site from over 200 locations across the United States . When you need to implement successful Wi-Fi wireless networking, "We've got you covered!" The need for a Wi-Fi wireless networking site survey is a topic of great interest to every business contemplating the purchase of wireless networking equipment . Companies in the general marketplace offer site survey and prediction software to map out the design of a Wi-Fi 802.11 WLAN. Of course, at Connect802, we believe that you should perform an RF site survey to identify the number and location of access points by first applying RF modeling and simulation to the WiFi site survey project so that an AutoCAD drawing file with the site survey predictions can be the starting point for the overall system design. WiFi site surveys using predictive modeling ("virtual WiFi site survey") provides planning, deployment guidelines, and analysis of the Wi-Fi radio transmission behavior and performance, plus WiFi wireless network security from the RF network coverage and coverage map standpoint is part of each professional proposal.
