NetworkingEnterprise Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 with APs placed from real measurements. Works in a full meeting room, holds calls while you walk, secured with WPA3.
What we usually find on site
Home routers or APs mounted wherever was convenient leave dead spots, interfere with each other and drop you between rooms. The classic symptom: full bars, nothing loads, especially when a meeting starts.
More APs is not the answer. Packing APs into 2.4 GHz usually makes things slower, because there are only three non-overlapping channels. We design for capacity (people and devices) first, then check coverage with predictive modelling and on-site measurement.
The concrete walls and reflective coated glass common in new Vientiane buildings eat far more 5 GHz signal than people expect. That is why we don't design from the floor plan alone.
Picking the standard
- Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax): OFDMA and MU-MIMO cope well with many clients. The minimum for new work.
- Wi-Fi 6E: adds the uncrowded 6 GHz band, ideal for meeting rooms and classrooms. Before ordering we confirm the imported AP model actually enables 6 GHz for this country.
- Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be): 320 MHz channels (6 GHz only) and Multi-Link Operation (MLO). Plan 2.5/5 Gbps uplinks and at least 802.3at PoE; many models need 802.3bt to run with every feature enabled.
Security and management
Staff connect with WPA3-Enterprise and 802.1X using their own accounts, not a Wi-Fi password taped to the wall. Guests get a separate SSID with client isolation and rate limits. 802.11k/v/r lets people walk the building on a VoIP call without it dropping.
Balcony and rooftop APs are IP67 models with a surge protector on the LAN cable. In the rainy season, that's the point that fails most often.
What it does
Designed from measurements
Predictive heatmaps before install and a validation survey after.
Wi-Fi 6/6E/7
Not every room needs Wi-Fi 7. We mix generations by density and budget.
WPA3 and 802.1X
Per-user login via RADIUS/Active Directory.
Roaming that holds
802.11k/v/r for VoIP handsets and warehouse scanners.
Separate guest Wi-Fi
Captive portal, client isolation and per-user bandwidth caps.
Every AP on one screen
See clients and interference, and push firmware centrally.

FAQ
How many APs do I need?
It depends on headcount, walls and what people do. Our starting planning figure is 25–40 active devices per AP. Send us your floor plan on WhatsApp and we'll mark rough AP positions.
Is Wi-Fi 7 worth it now?
For new buildings with a 7–10 year life and crowded spaces, yes. For a 20-person office, Wi-Fi 6 is still enough, and the money is better spent on switches and a UPS.
Can wireless mesh replace cabling to APs?
Yes, where the landlord won't allow drilling or cabling is truly impossible. But every mesh hop costs throughput. For a business we want every AP cabled.
Can staff log in to Wi-Fi with their Active Directory account?
Yes, through 802.1X with RADIUS (such as NPS) or a NAC platform. Disable a leaver's account and their Wi-Fi access stops. No more changing the company-wide password.
