Client Overview

A manufacturing corporation engaged CONVX to conduct a comprehensive wireless network site survey and security assessment across two industrial facilities in an international manufacturing facility, totaling up to 1,000,000 square feet. The assessment provided the corporation with a detailed understanding of their existing wireless infrastructure, network security posture, and recommendations for optimization.

Business Challenge

Large-Scale Industrial Wireless Coverage: The corporation's two an international location manufacturing facilities span up to one million square feet of industrial space, requiring thorough RF assessment to validate wireless coverage for production operations, warehouse management, and facility communications.

International Facility Assessment: Managing network infrastructure across international manufacturing sites presents unique challenges in visibility and standardization. The corporation needed expert assessment of the an international location facilities' wireless and network environment.

Security Posture Visibility: Without a comprehensive assessment, the corporation lacked visibility into firewall configurations, network security controls, and potential vulnerabilities across the an international location facilities.

CONVX Solution Approach

CONVX delivered a comprehensive wireless and network security assessment of the corporation's an international location manufacturing facilities.

Ekahau RF Site Survey: Using Ekahau Pro with Sidekick 2, we conducted detailed RF site surveys across both facilities, mapping wireless coverage, signal strength, interference sources, and identifying dead zones or areas of inadequate coverage.

Network Infrastructure Review: The assessment included review of Ubiquiti UniFi wireless access points, UniFi network switches, UniFi controller configuration, and Aruba network switches to evaluate current infrastructure configuration and performance.

Firewall Security Assessment: Fortigate firewall configurations were reviewed to assess security policy effectiveness, identify potential vulnerabilities, and evaluate network segmentation across the manufacturing environment.

Recommendations Report: A comprehensive report was delivered with findings, prioritized recommendations for wireless optimization, network improvements, and security remediation.

Technology Implementation

  • Ekahau Pro wireless site survey with Sidekick 2
  • Ubiquiti UniFi wireless access point assessment
  • Ubiquiti UniFi switch and controller review
  • Aruba network switch evaluation
  • Fortigate firewall security assessment
  • Large-scale industrial RF coverage analysis

Business Outcomes

Complete Wireless Visibility: Detailed Ekahau RF survey data provides the corporation with accurate wireless coverage maps across one million square feet of industrial space, identifying gaps and optimization opportunities.

Security Posture Assessment: Firewall and network security review identifies vulnerabilities and provides prioritized recommendations to strengthen the manufacturing facilities' security controls.

Informed Investment Decisions: Comprehensive assessment and recommendations enable the corporation to prioritize network and security investments based on documented findings rather than assumptions.
