Networks, Wi-Fi and wireless links in Riyadh designed from measurements

Wi-Fi: capacity first, coverage second

We design Wi-Fi for the number of devices and what they do, then confirm coverage. A ballroom with 500 guests streaming needs far more access points than its floor area suggests. A warehouse with handheld scanners needs reliable roaming more than speed.

The process: a predictive model on your drawings with the actual wall materials, a site check of the materials (concrete, glass, metal racks and decorative cladding all behave differently), a channel and power plan, then a validation survey after installation that shows signal, interference and roaming performance. You receive the heat maps.

The 6 GHz band (Wi-Fi 6E and 7) gives far more clean channels where regulations permit and client devices support it. Most sites still need 2.4 and 5 GHz for older devices and IoT.

Point-to-point and point-to-multipoint links

Wireless links connect gatehouses, remote buildings and perimeter cameras where trenching isn't practical. Link design checks line of sight and Fresnel zone clearance (we keep at least 60% of the first Fresnel zone free of obstruction), path loss, fade margin, and interference on the chosen band. Unlicensed 5 GHz suits most short links; 60 GHz gives high capacity over short distances; licensed microwave suits long, critical links.

Mounting is engineered too: masts and brackets that hold alignment in high wind, lightning and surge protection, and earthing.

Security and separation

Corporate, guest, IoT and security devices go on separate networks with appropriate authentication: WPA3 or 802.1X for staff, isolated guest access with a captive portal where needed, and restricted networks for cameras and building systems.
