Wi-Fi begins with gathering detailed requirements, site survey to gather measurements for use with 3D modelling for each unique environment. The final stages are validation surveys to tune the Wi-Fi for optimal performance, followed by continual optimisation as the environment naturally changes.  

We start with detailed site surveys and a thorough assessment of your business requirements to determine the best design for your Wi-Fi needs. This is then modelled using industry leading tools such as from Ekahau to model the coverage and capacity expected. Our design is tailored to your environment and includes clear documentation, configuration records, and factors scalability for future requirements. 

Yes, we can deploy the latest generation WiFi 7 access points in any environment.  To further cater to high-capacity environments we deploy APs with dual 5GHz or 6GHz radios, effectively doubling the normal capacity of other APs. These solutions are designed to support dense offices and campuses, with flexibility to expand and adapt as your business grows. 

Future growth is simplified by a flexible licensing framework. Licences are contained in a pool which is not locked to single devices, allowing devices to be upgraded, relocated. The licence pool can be increased 1 AP at a time, scales linearly, with no need to factor a minimum number of licences. Further flexibility is achieved from the licences being valid for any type of device, such as the same licence for a switch can also be applied to an AP.

Security features include unique per-user PPSK WPA2 keys, integration with RADIUS, WPA2/3 authentication, and stateful firewalls built into the access points. We also ensure isolation of staff, BYOD, and guest traffic to keep networks secure. Firmware is regularly available for deployment helping to ensure vulnerabilities are mitigated. 

Unlike other access points that scan only part time competing with business traffic, many access points have a dedicated, dual-band sensor scans for rogue devices full time, eliminating the risk of vulnerability or attacks. 

The Wi-Fi management platform is the only cloud network management solution triple-threat protection, conforming to ISO 27001, 27017 and 27701 standards. Also, CSA STAR and SOC2. These are all based around information security management controls, such as data export, deletion, retention, which are standard requirements for SaaS operations. 

Kordia has delivered Wi-Fi in diverse settings including multi-level offices, warehouses, factories, food processing plants, healthcare facilities, education, retail, and even passenger ferries. Customers include Xero, Silver Fern Farms, CRC Industries, Norwood, Simpson Grierson, Meredith Connell, MASH Trust, and many more. 

We are experts with Extreme Networks and also have proven experience with Cisco, Cisco Meraki, HPE Aruba, Sophos, Ubiquiti Unifi, and FortiWiFi solutions. Our vendor-neutral approach ensures we design and support the best option for your needs. 

Kordia has technical staff nationwide across 16 locations in New Zealand for rapid onsite response. We provide Tier 3 engineering support for performance investigations, design changes, monitoring, and optimisation.

A site survey is critical to provide a solid foundation for the design leading to a well thought out implementation. Measurements are performed by Wi-Fi experts, recorded using industry leading tools such as Ekahau, provide valuable inputs to detailed Wi-Fi modelling. Other critical factors captured in site surveys are identification of wall types, machinery, and also the practicalities for access, mounting access points, and routing of data cabling. Ensuring that proposed locations are also safely accessible for installation and ongoing maintenance.  

Site surveys are just as import after an installation is completed. Necessary to validate the modelled coverage is achieved. Creates a baseline for future comparison when troubleshooting. This post-deployment survey also locates sources of interference where operating channels and power can be optimised to best avoid such problems. The results are used to provide an extensive report containing heat-maps of coverage, overlapping coverage, potential interference from neighbouring networks, measured coverage shown for individual APs and installed photos.  

We have resolved a wide range of performance issues and optimised existing Wi-Fi networks for a multiple vendor equipment types. Even remotely in Copenhagen and Johannesburg to a Wi-Fi managed irrigation system spanning 40 hectares. Sometimes this can be resolved by reviewing and correcting the configuration.  

Kordia is able to perform a thorough assessment of your network, produce a comprehensive report with measured heat maps and clear explanations of the root causes, with recommendations for optimisation.  Some common causes of these are: poor access point mounting location, insufficient channel overlap, incorrect types or missing antennas, incorrect configuration settings, excessive power, excessive channel widths and interfering transmissions.
