Help Me Quote When preparing a Wireless LAN quote it s important to first establish your customers requirements. To help get you started here are some pointers on what you should be asking. Q A Do you have a WLAN solution installed already? If so, why is it not meeting your requirements? A great starting point to establish your customers A needs. What do you want to use the wireless for? For example browsing, streaming, voice or airtime rental This is important because this will determine what type of solution is best suited to your customers requirements. Q What speed do you require? Nimans can offer Access Points up to 1750mbps. What areas on the premises require wireless coverage? At this point it s also a good idea to request a floor plan of the premises with at least two of the exterior walls measured. You can then mark on the map what areas need to be covered. Are there any environmental issues we need to account for? Wireless signals can vary in different premises, factors such as the thickness of the walls, the type of materials used, metal racking and other electronic equipment can all affect the range so it is important to get as much information as possible. 6

Heat Map Survey Once you have a floor plan, Nimans is in a position to start preparing a detailed quotation and Heat Map Survey of the premises. The Heat Map Survey (see above for example visual) will identify the optimum placement of the Access Points and indicate the level of coverage you can expect the solution to deliver. It is important to note that the accuracy and level of information you provide at this stage will determine the accuracy of the quote. On-Site Surveys The Fluke Networks Air Magnet off-site survey Nimans produces from the information you provide is highly detailed and will usually give you a quotation that has 95% accuracy; however for larger installations it is strongly recommended that you perform an on-site survey to ensure your quotation is 100% accurate. Your own engineers can perform these surveys with the right equipment, however we appreciate this can be costly for resellers just starting out with WLAN. Nimans has a team of highly experienced Network Engineers to assist resellers throughout the UK - they are available to perform highly detailed site surveys to ensure you have the most accurate quotation possible.

Key Benefits Air Equaliser Samsung s Traffic Schedule technology ensures a fully optimised Wi-Fi service by allocating equal airtime to multiple devices. This technology guarantees airtime fairness when multiple devices are concurrently connected to an AP. It also delivers seamless service, even in an environment where devices with different traffic demands and capabilities are used. In addition, it can maximise the AP s total throughput by more than 50% when compared with competitors products, providing the best performance that adapts to the Wi-Fi connection specifications (a, b/g, n, ac) and signal intensity characteristics. Voice Aware Traffic Scheduling (VaTS) VaTS is a Samsung patented technology, which efficiently sends Voice Frames to multiple devices using mobile communication traffic scheduling technology developed for LTE networks. The result is that increasing the number of concurrent calls will not degrade voice quality, increasing the effective capacity of the network. Intelligent Beam Selectable Antenna (IBSA) A Samsung 3 x 3 AP contains 14 antennas. Two antennas are used for RF monitoring and the remaining 12 provide an optimised RF pattern selecting a beam for each environment. As a result, dead areas are minimised, service coverage is expanded, and the receiving sensitivity is 2 db higher than competitors products. This means that the access point can accurately receive a signal from a mobile device with typically weak transmit power even when it is some distance away. Self Organising Network (SON) Samsung has enhanced the standard Wi-Fi access point Tx power and channel optimisation technology using techniques developed for the LTE network. This technology automatically optimises the cell configuration and coverage, considering individual device characteristics within the environment. This dramatically shortens the time required for network design, reducing implementation costs, and also delivers a high level of RF quality management when the network is in use. 9
