Q & A

Q: Are all wireless frequencies designed the same way?

A: No, in fact lower frequencies, such as 450 MHz have much different propagation properties than higher frequencies, such as 5 GHz. InnerWireless designs to the hardest signal (e.g. 5 GHz) to ensure coverage or every wireless frequency – today and in the future; however, we still provide predications and testing for every frequency provided by Horizon.

InnerWireless Horizon Deployment

The InnerWireless deployment process is built on InnerWireless’ decade-long experience in deploying in-building wireless systems. Our approach is designed to provide the highest quality design, installation and operations of any in-building system on the market today and is managed through six critical phases:

Phase 1 – Scope

During the scope phase, the InnerWireless team will meet with the key customer stakeholders (IT, facilities, telecom, clinical, bio-med, etc.) and insure all wireless and building requirements are known such items as coverage areas, services desired by floor, aesthetics concerns, building changes, capacity, etc.

Phase 2 – Site Survey

The InnerWireless team will perform a detailed site survey from a mechanical and construction viewpoint and will determine the RF characteristics of the building. Key areas include:

  • Telecom Room and Closets
  • Risers
  • Individual Floors
  • Interior Walls
  • Roof
  • RF Testing
  • Logistics

Phase 3 – System Design

InnerWireless utilizes best-in-class design standards, tools, and processes to insure all customers’ requirements are met. InnerWireless will also works with the key application/service providers to insure all of their design criteria are achieved in the IW design process. Key design documents are delivered, including cabling plans and signal coverage predictions.

Phase 4 – Procurement and Logistics

After design acceptance by the customer, the InnerWireless project manager finalizes the installation subcontract and schedules the delivery of the InnerWireless infrastructure material. InnerWireless will have clearly defined roles and responsibilities between all parties to ensure a coordinated deployment.

Phase 5 – Installation

Prior to installation, the InnerWireless team will train and certify local 3rd party installation crews on proven InnerWireless infrastructure installation methods and subsystem testing procedures. During the installation phase, an InnerWireless project manager will be on site during all required times to assist the installers with any questions or clarification regarding the installation/subsystem testing procedures to insure a quality installation.

Phase 6 – Acceptance Testing

The installation phase will conclude with completion of the system level functional customer acceptance test plan. The InnerWireless team will perform a full sequence of tests to ensure integrity of the InnerWireless System. These subsystem tests include:

  • Wireless Portal Insertion Loss System Testing
  • Cable Quality Tests
  • Riser Cable Testing
