Wi-Fi network consulting for a global multi-campus service provider(10000+ APs for 90 branches; 200+ remote sites; 25,000+ Users) - Primarily responsible for the management of America regional Wi-Fi projects from intial request, design, pilot, implementation, and then validation phases.

As a small team of four engineers, we were responsible for the integration and migration of twenty-three locations to a "wireless by default" standard. Over 7,000 Access Points supporting around 100,000 employees in close to 400 locations. The new standard will reduce the overall number of network switches needed in the network. The equipment refresh includes models and components surrounding the Cisco 3850 switches, 5500 WLCs, and 3702 access points. Cisco prime RF Planning tool was extensively used for predictive surveys.Our work methods and execution strategies are tailored for each site. But fall into the following order:1. Audit2. Create Gap analysis3. Create low level design4. Implementation5. Decommission old equipment6. Handover new equipment to outside operations
