Defining exactly how, when and where wireless will be used
A strategy for all wireless in the airspace is formulated to align closely with the business objectives. This considers:
- If and where wireless is appropriate
- Whether it is for mission-critical enterprise applications or just standard applications
- Internal and external usage requirements
- The use of wireless by third parties
The end result is a clear plan for implementing wireless, a set of policies and procedures for its operation, and a business plan for generating
revenue. These elements combine to make sure that systems do not conflict, that they dovetail with the rest of the business, comply with Health & Safety standards and meet security requirements.
Strategic Wireless Consultancy
Define exactly how, when and where wireless will - or will not - be used in your organisation, to ensure you fully align your business strategy with your business strategy.
Wireless networking is a critical issue for any organisation. But controlling it effectively presents many challenges - and not only for your organisations infrastructure. You need to set business and technology strategies, plus create technical and commercial usage policies, for the use of wireless: Red-M can deliver a strategic plan that will help you achieve these goals.

Business Case Analysis
This is designed to provide a detailed analysis of what wireless technologies and applications are relevant to your organisation from a business point of view. Taking into account any regulatory constraints as well as intelligence about wireless trends within your own market sector, the Business Case Analysis will identify all the wireless services which are relevant to you, and then analyse them in terms of their ability to generate revenues. The resultant report provides a clear cost/benefit analysis, together with timelines for precise cash flow management.

Wireless Policy
Red-M’s wireless policy provides a structured approach to developing and implementing operating policies and procedures to enable the management of existing, upgraded or new wireless systems within the wireless network infrastructure.
Specific rules and regulations are set to define how the infrastructure and the applications will work, spanning power levels, bands, channels, processes and procedures and revenue-sharing agreements.
Wireless Security [Read More]
Wireless introduces a new set of risks to any enterprise, and these need to be tackled with a clear Wireless Security Policy. This is designed to identify and put in place the policies for authentication, encryption and access, and their on-going management.
Red-M’s Wireless Security service spans all wireless technologies and is designed to provide a comprehensive set of security policies whilst retaining the inherent flexibility of access provided by wireless. Wi-Fi [Read More]
Operating in license-exempt bands has, without doubt, encouraged the proliferation of Wi-Fi services for many organisations. However these bands do carry a number of risks, and their unlicensed status means that there is no recourse for action if changes are introduced which affect your service.
Red-M’s Wi-Fi Policy is designed to minimise the risks of working in this type of environment. It defines policies for improving resilience, ensuring quality of service and service continuity, the introduction of back-up operations and escalation and reporting procedures. The resultant report can be given to third parties to ensure their compliance with the organisation’s policies, as well as being used for internal procedures.

Health & Safety
An area of concern for employers, employees and the general public,
the plethora of research about wireless health and safety issues tends
to confuse the situation even more. Red-M’s Health & Safety Policy
brings together an expert understanding of the latest research conclusions
and the introduction of specific guidelines with legislation
(such as the EC Physical Agents Electromagnetic Directive). Its aim
is to provide a best practice approach for employers and propert owners.
It includes policies such as how to monitor levels and how to communicate
information
to personnel.
To ensure the policy compliance is maintained Red-M offers the complementary RF Health & Safety Audit service: click here to download the datasheet.

Architecture Design
This service is designed to identify the optimum infrastructure to support the wireless applications required.
The Architecture Design helps organisations clarify their wireless thinking by typically providing a number of different ‘high-level’ infrastructure designs from which to choose. This service will also contain recommendations on the commercial relationships which need to be defined and/or set up in order to achieve the maximum rate of return on the planned investment.
Utilising Red-M’s unique, patented network design and planning tools enables our specialist consultancy team to develop a strategy for the design and implementation of system structures - technologies, applications and their inter-relationships – and ensure their alignment in terms of your business objectives.

Technology Roadmap
Based on the company’s independence from any manufacturers or suppliers, Red-M offers a comprehensive Technology Roadmap Service. This is typically undertaken either to evaluate the role which a new or forthcoming technology could play for your business or to assess the pros and cons of specific solutions in order to identify the optimum system for your enterprise. Technology Roadmaps include a detailed analysis of your business and the mapping of this against the range of potential wireless applications to find the ‘best fit’ solution. A detailed timelines indicates which technologies should be implemented at which time in order to best serve the needs of your enterprise.

Network Dimensioning
This service – either for new or enhanced wireless systems – is designed to provide an accurate cost estimate of how much a planned implementation will cost. Typically provided for operators, the service considers all the different variables including how many sites are needed and different levels of coverage, and then provides a range of scenarios in order to identify the optimum return on investment.
