In-building coverage

We provide the in-building coverage you need for effective use of all your wireless devices.




Challenge

Certain factors have a major impact on in-building coverage:


  • - Networks are constantly evolving

  • - Companies may change a building's layout and structure

  • - Renovations can affect signal quality

  • - Where cell phone users once communicated only by voice, they now transmit text and wireless data


Solution

To optimize in-building coverage, install a micro cell with its own frequencies or a wireless network that can replicate external signals.


Implementation

The solution involves a number of steps:


  • - Determine the signal's source (outside antenna, direct connection with a mobile exchange, etc.)

  • - Install an amplifier that will reproduce frequencies inside the building

  • - Install and connect antennas via the required cabling

  • - Maximize installations and adjustments and list the site with wireless providers

  • - Update the Vega installation database (unique features, pictures, contacts, etc.)

Machine to Machine

M2M communication is the linking of information and communication technologies with "smart" and communication enabled devices to provide ways to interact with information systems without human intervention. Whether by cellular, microwave, point to point, satellite or Wi-Fi technology, data can be sent wirelessly to places where cabling is unavailable. As they transmit low quantities of data, these applications tend to work well on wireless networks.




Challenge

Limited facilities or the need for mobility can become a problem for companies growing ever more dependent on internal or public networks, even with applications requiring little bandwidth. For example:


  • - A company wants to monitor distant machinery

  • - A company wants remote monitoring and surveillance

  • - A company needs to control various remote systems

  • - A company wants to duplicate vital or important systems


Solution

Many factors affect the choice of technology for each identified need:


  • - Determine whether fixed or mobile coverage is best

  • - Bandwidth requirements

  • - Availability of public networks

  • - Physical requirements to house mobile or remote technical equipment to ensure vital systems are protected from weather conditions


Implementation

The solution involves a number of steps:


  • - Determine the right technology based on selected factors

  • - Use special mounts if needed

  • - Install assembly to connect to the system

  • - Maximize installations and adjustments

  • - Update the Vega installation database (unique features, pictures, contacts, etc.)

Outdoor coverage

Whether by cellular, microwave, point to point, satellite, Wi-Fi or Wi-Max technology, data can be sent wirelessly to places where cabling is unavailable.




Challenge

Limited facilities or the need for mobility can become a problem for companies growing ever more dependent on internal or public networks. For example:


  • - A company wants to connect two buildings where no reliable high speed wired network is available

  • - A company wants to link with mobile data in a given area

  • - A company wants to link a number of satellite offices

  • - An aircraft de-icing firm wants to provide access to its vehicles when on the tarmac


Solution

A number of factors influence the choice of technology for various reasons, and there is a choice for each specific need:


  • - Distance between areas to be covered

  • - Bandwidth requirements

  • - Availability of public networks

  • - Local geography


Implementation

The solution involves a number of steps:


  • - Determine which technology is most suitable

  • - Install transmitter as needed

  • - Install receiving equipment, including amplifier and local network connection

  • - Maximize installation and adjustments and list the site with wireless providers, or register the required licences with Industry Canada or the FCC

  • - Update the Vega installation database (unique features, pictures, contacts, etc.)

Multi-layer Wi-Fi

We provide Wi-Fi where you would think it impossible. Whether on a ship at sea, in the heart of a forest, or whatever unlikely place, we'll ensure you have a powerful Wi-Fi connection.




Challenge

Workers, clients and managers now rely on a range of applications in places where internet once seemed impossible. Productivity, security, efficiency, and the well-being of clients and staff depend on it. For example:


  • - When cellular networks are available, a shipping company wants crew members to have internet access in the vessel's recreation areas

  • - A railway company wants passengers to have internet access during business trips



Solution

A number of factors influence the choice of equipment for these deployments, including indoor and outdoor coverage areas, service area, and type of vehicle (train, truck, bus, ship, etc.). These factors include, among other things:


  • - The need for protection from weather in access points

  • - The need to comply with Transport Canada and international standards

  • - Network availability during travel (major factor in choice of antenna)

  • - The type of routers preferred by clients


Implementation

The solution involves a number of steps:


  • - Determine technology requirements for transmitting (access points) and receiving (antennas, routers, etc.)

  • - Validate government standards for wireless installations on the type of vehicle in question

  • - Set up a field test to validate standards and technologies

  • - Conduct large scale installation depending on the vehicle type

  • - Maximize installation to ensure optimal coverage

  • - Update the Vega installation database (unique features, pictures, contacts, etc.)
