Scalability: Deploying Largescale WLAN Upgrades
Nationwide WLAN Upgrade For 950 Car Dealership Locations
A global automotive manufacturer selected our team for an aggressive initiative to upgrade the wired and wireless infrastructure at over 950 unique dealership environments in the United States and Canada. As part of our turnkey delivery, we surveyed each location and laid out a unique predictive site design specific to each dealership.
As part of the installation services we acquired, configured, and installed new:
access points
security applicances
switches
cabling
We also provided first call Tier 1 tech support to aid the installation team as they cut the old network over to the new one.
Upon completion of each dealership, we provided back-end call center support to answer any questions the dealerships had regarding network access including guest Wi-Fi. Each facility had between eight and twenty-four access points mounted both indoors and outdoors in locations upwards of ten acres in size.
Wired/Wireless Network Upgrade For 1,600 Home Improvement Store Locations
This was the largest IT project ever completed in this national retail chain’s history.
It consisted of upgrading wireless and wired network infrastructure in over 1,600 stores completed in a twelve-month time span.
We conducted a successful deployment of cutting-edge IP surveillance systems throughout the entire chain and completed an upgrade of infrastructure, surveillance systems, audio systems, and numerous other technologies on remodeled stores.
PIN Pad Device Refresh and Device Destruction for 775 Book Store Locations
We completed the replacement of over 3,500 EMV Chip Enabled PIN Pads in 775 stores throughout the country. As part of our service agreement, we maintained a secure chain-of-custody from the store location to the destruction facility and provided a Certificate of Destruction for the old PIN Pads.

Kiosk/Workstation Deployment and Infrastructure Management For 510 Fuel Centers Locations In Two Months
We were responsible for the deployment of new kiosks, workstations, network printers, and servers for a national fuel center chain. We also provided infrastructure management including toning out lines and labeling all cables.
We upgraded the OS images on 20+ machines per store including the server. On the server, we demoted the existing backup domain controller, promoted the new domain controller, and seeded the active directory forest. All of this work was performed at the rate of 11 stores per night for two months.
