Depending on the scope of your project and our availability, we may be able to assist with network planning, rollout and engineering.
Enquire to discuss your requirements and possible arrangements.
Site assessments
An assessment establishes what is available at a location and what will be needed for an installation. This can include existing communications equipment, mounting positions, power supplies, cable routes and access for installation and maintenance.
For an existing network, the work may involve reviewing the current arrangement, investigating problem areas and identifying changes needed for an extension or upgrade. The findings provide a basis for equipment selection, installation work and cost planning.
Terrain & coverage surveys
Terrain, vegetation, buildings and antenna height affect the links a network can support. Survey work can examine elevation profiles, potential obstructions and candidate locations to help determine where equipment should be placed.
Depending on the project, this may involve map-based analysis, visits to proposed sites and practical link tests. The results can inform antenna positions, intermediate node locations and the choice of radio equipment. Areas requiring further measurements can be identified before deployment.
Network design & deployment planning
Network design brings together the locations to be served, expected traffic, available links and the services users need. The work can cover topology, backbone and access links, equipment specifications, power requirements and integration with existing infrastructure.
Deployment planning sets out how that design will be put into service. This may include a pilot installation, staged expansion, equipment preparation, installation schedules and commissioning procedures. Configuration records and maintenance requirements can be included so the deployed system can be managed consistently.
Software engineering
We may be able to undertake application development, service integration and adaptations for project-specific requirements. This can include Reticulum-based applications, interfaces to existing systems, configuration tools and software used to operate the network.
The work begins with the required behaviour and the systems involved. From there, the scope can define the implementation, testing, documentation and arrangements for ongoing maintenance. Existing ciXnet components may form part of a solution where they suit the requirements.
Implementation & commissioning
Implementation assistance can cover equipment configuration, node preparation, installation support and bringing services into operation. For deployments across several locations, repeatable configurations and clear equipment records help keep the installations consistent.
Commissioning can include checking link performance, service access and the way the system behaves under its intended workload. Handover documentation can record the installed equipment, settings, test results and procedures needed by the people responsible for it.
Project enquiries
Please include a description of the project, the locations involved and any existing equipment or infrastructure. Outline the work you would like us to undertake, along with your timeframe and budget where established.
We can then discuss the scope, possible arrangements and whether we are able to take it on.
