Why We're Different
Unlike companies
that simply sell Wi-Fi equipment,
Connect802 is uniquely differentiated
because:
- Connect802 is,
first and foremost, an RF engineering,
design and consulting company.
Our engineers understand radio
system engineering and work not
only in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi
frequencies but with Wireless Medical
Telemetry, Cellular radio, paging
systems, wireless video systems
and analog voice, CW and slow-scan
television.
- Connect802 is
vendor-agnostic when it comes
to specifying equipment for your
project. Unlike a "Brand X" reseller
(that is forced make their equipment
fit into all situations), Connect802
works with most major manufacturer's
equipment. It's true that Connect802
has identified some manufacturer's
as having the "best-of-breed"
technology but no single vendor
is best suited to meet all requirements
of all projects. When you get an
equipment recommendation from Connect802
it's because that's the optimal
choice for your requirements.
- Connnect802
uses an engineering-class 3-dimensional
RF CAD modeling and simulation
software system based on AutoDesk
AutoCAD as part of the system design
process. Unlike conventional "Virtual
Site Survey" tools (like AirMagnet
Planner, Ekahau, and most vendor
site survey tools) the software
we license ("Wireless Valley Enterprise
Planner" and "LANPlanner", now
the Motorola RF Planner suite)
considers signal attenuation and
reflection in 3-dimensions. This
allows the development of accurate
installation plans without having
to resort to the "access point
on a stick" approach where an engineer
walks around your site trying
to figure out where to place equipment.
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.
Unlike commercial CAD 3D
modeling software, the custom OEM version
of AudoDesk's AutoCAD that we use
allows the creation of 3-dimensional
RF models using standard 2D AutoCAD
drawing files.
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. |

Why you will choose Connect802 Corporation as your trusted resource for wireless data networking: |
Connect802 is an experienced player in the IP, Internet, and wireless LAN marketplace. We've been in business since 1994 so you know you're not dealing with a "start-up" company with limited history. You can trust our credibility and expertise.
Wireless network design from Connect802 is based on our trained and certified RF engineering team's deep understanding of radio system design and signal propagation. We're not simply a bunch of sales and tech support folks basing design and specification decisions on a few manufacturer's training classes. You can be sure you're getting the right design and the right equipment to meet your requirements.
Connect802 is one of the only design
and product sales companies in the
United States that utilizes 3-dimensional
RF CAD Modeling and Simulation in
the development of wireless LAN 802.11
Wi-Fi design and equipment specification.
This means that you avoid the costly,
time-consuming, and error-prone methods
used by companies that simply send
somebody out to walk around with
a test access point to try to figure
out where to put access points. You
get the advantages of today's most
sophisticated RF design and engineering
capabilities.
Connect802 covers the entire United States (including Alaska and Hawaii) and can dispatch engineers to your site for RF spectrum analysis or project management and can provide truck rolls for installation services from over 200 locations nationwide. This means you have the right resources available to complete your project on time, in budget, and according to spec.
