Fixed Wireless Access
Pivital designs and installs Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) solutions to securely provide our enterprise clients with reliable cellular connectivity. Our capabilities include design, installation, and ongoing management of the onsite environment. Our best-in-class survey kits combined with our physical site survey tool “POST@Pivital” ensure we design an environment that provides the most secure signal for our client’s wireless connectivity needs.
FWA/Cellular Antenna Deployment
We provide end-to-end support in designing, deploying, and optimizing the FWA infrastructure. Our trained engineers will determine the best location for the antennas to capture the best signal whether mmWave, 5g or LTE. Some of the key attributes we capture include:
-
Signal Quality Analysis
-
RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) RSSI is displayed as a negative number from 0 dBm (best signal) to -110dBm (weakest/no signal)
-
RSRQ- (Reference Signal Received Quality) the ratio of the carrier power to interference power
-
SINR (Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio) measures signal quality: the strength of the wanted signal compared to the unwanted interference and noise
-
Downlink - Throughput
-
Uplink - Throughput
Our engineers are trained to safely and securely mount antennas on roofs, masts or parapets, install the devices and install the cabling to the antennas. We offer a wide variety of antenna mounting solutions to ensure a cost effective but environmentally secure environment.
Monitoring and Support Solutions
Pivital’s carrier monitoring tools provide a secure view into your network. Although specific to the carrier, we have the expertise to add 24/7 monitoring services to your network and 5G endpoints.
We understand that the most robust solution for your WAN environment may be a combination of FWA and wired SDwan, and we work with our clients to balance considerations such as cost, aesthetics and performance to provide the best possible FWA environment.
Use Cases
Pivital designs and installs thousands of fixed wireless environments for various clients including designing and installing the FWA installations for quick serve restaurant chain of more than 2,000 locations in the United States and a logistics company of more than 500 locations throughout Europe. Our design and installations for these clients extended beyond simply determining the best location for the optimum signal and providing the best mounting solution but also provided our clients with improved connectivity while experiencing significant monthly savings across all locations.
