Wi-Fi 7 needs RF engineers your clients don't have.
Wi-Fi 7's 320 MHz channels, 4K-QAM and Multi-Link Operation need a different design approach, not a like-for-like AP swap. We run the full lifecycle from predictive RF survey to MLO-validated go-live across Cisco, Meraki and Aruba, under your brand.
Start a wireless conversationWi-Fi 7 is the steepest adoption curve of any WLAN generation.
A lot of clients are running wireless designed for a different era. Wi-Fi 5 deployments from 2018 to 2021 were built for laptops and phones, not for clinical IoT density on a ward, collaborative video in every room, or warehouses full of scanners and autonomous robots. Wi-Fi 7's 320 MHz channels, 4K-QAM and Multi-Link Operation need a fresh design, and the WLC or cloud platform must be validated to support those features before deployment starts. Partners win the hardware deal, then need delivery engineering they do not have in-house to execute the refresh correctly. That is the part we run.
What we deliver.
Cisco Catalyst 9800 WLC
Hardware or cloud-hosted on-premises controllers running IOS XE 17.15+ for full Wi-Fi 7 support, paired with Catalyst 9100, 9130 and 9160 Series APs. WLC validated for MLO before any hardware is ordered.
Meraki Cloud Wireless
Cloud-managed Wi-Fi 7 on Meraki CW9170, CW9172 and CW9176 APs, run from Dashboard. The right fit for estates that want a single cloud console and zero-touch onboarding over controller management.
HPE Aruba Central (AOS10)
Aruba AP-734 and AP-755 provisioned through Aruba Central on AOS10. Aruba Central AIOps auto-resolves up to 80% of wireless faults and cuts support tickets by around 30%.
Predictive RF Survey
Predictive RF modeling before deployment and a validation survey after, so the design is proven against the real building, not assumed from a floor plan.
Wi-Fi 7 Done Properly
320 MHz channel planning where only three non-overlapping 6 GHz channels exist, WPA3 and Enhanced Open to unlock MLO, and band-pair configuration. Not a like-for-like AP swap that leaves the new features switched off.
High-Density Environments
Specific RF settings for wards, lecture halls, warehouses and trading floors. Clinical IoT VLAN segmentation for healthcare, high-ceiling propagation and voice-over-Wi-Fi tuning for logistics and autonomous robots.

What your client gets from vendor professional services, a regional MSP, or our team under your brand.
Enterprise wireless, answered straight.
01 Do we need a new WLC for Wi-Fi 7 APs?
It depends on the platform. Cisco Catalyst 9800 WLCs on IOS XE 17.15+ support Wi-Fi 7 including MLO; older 5520 and 8540 controllers do not. Aruba needs AOS10 7.x on Aruba Central. Our readiness assessment maps the WLC upgrade path before any hardware is ordered, so the controller is never the thing that blocks go-live.
02 What is MLO and why does it matter?
Multi-Link Operation is Wi-Fi 7's headline feature: a single device uses 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz at once, or switches between them per packet. WBA Phase 2 enterprise field trials measured up to 116% uplink throughput improvement and 66% latency reduction under real interference. Estates with typical 40 MHz spectrum constraints saw the largest gains.
03 How do you handle mixed-vendor wireless?
We hold Cisco Catalyst Wireless (9800 WLC), Cisco Meraki MR and Aruba (APs and Central) capabilities. We can architect a unified SSID policy across vendors and pull both into one AIOps monitoring view, which is the real situation for clients running Cisco in some buildings and Aruba in others.
04 How long does a Wi-Fi 7 refresh take?
A campus refresh of 100 to 300 APs typically runs 8 to 12 weeks from predictive RF survey to go-live: RF modeling, WLC deployment or upgrade, AP install, MLO configuration, then a validation survey. Zero-touch provisioning through Catalyst Center or Aruba Central cuts per-AP configuration time significantly.
05 What about wireless segmentation for NIS2?
NIS2 Article 21 names wireless segmentation as a control: guest, corporate and IoT SSIDs isolated on separate VLANs with enforced policy. We deliver SSID and VLAN segregation with Cisco ISE or Aruba ClearPass NAC, plus audit-ready documentation you can hand to the client's compliance team.
06 Can you deploy in hospitals or warehouses?
Yes. The survey methodology carries specific settings for high-density sites. For healthcare we design clinical IoT VLAN segmentation with NIS2-compliant SSID segregation. For warehouses we optimise for high-ceiling propagation and prioritise voice-over-Wi-Fi and autonomous mobile robot connectivity.
Tell us what your clients need.
A tri-cloud migration. A 200-site SD-WAN rollout. A security architecture before NIS2 hits. An AI system your client is asking about next quarter. We scope it, staff it, and deliver it under your brand. One conversation tells us if we are the right team.
