I don't have much time to invest in addressing some of the odd issues we have with wireless in our corporate office, so I want to bring in some outside help. This will be for two single story buildings, around 12k sq ft each. Client load is low, mostly personal devices (phones), only handful of laptops. 35-50 device average in one building and 15-20 device average in the other.
Obviously need a site survey. Never had one, this has always been "throw up some APs and go". Want to design solution around new gear We were using Meraki MR32's originally and dumped those (due to firmware bugs) to Ubiquiti UAP-AC-Pro's for a cheap alternative as it was intended to be somewhat "throw away" once we could do things the right one. I figure go Aruba or Ruckus if I'm starting fresh, or go back to Meraki.
Anyway, what should I look for and ask when finding a consultant for this? What would be norm for the site survey itself? What would you say might be a fair cost on the professional services for actual implementation (full gear config and tuning) on something at this size?
Lastly, if anyone has some trusted names/companies in the Chicagoland area they want to throw my way, please do.
