CHALLENGES

Examples of common or prevalent network infrastructure and connectivity issues that Derive handles include:

Scenario #1 Roaming across the office causes wireless connections to routinely come and go, resulting in applications performing sub-optimally when users switch between wired or wireless networks.
Scenario #2 In a post-COVID world, organizations are increasingly shifting to hybrid workplaces. This presents a unique challenge, where businesses struggle to provide provide reliable yet secure access no matter the employee's location or type of connection they use. For this new model to thrive, businesses must prioritize and adhere to zero-trust principles for reliable and secure resource accessibility.
Scenario #3 In the healthcare arena, during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic many hospitals had to provide medical services out of parking lots and medical tents. Hospitals needed a new protocol for patient screening processes that both: 1) maintained social distancing from other non-COVID patients, and 2) provided essential data services and real-time access to patient medical records.

SOLUTIONS

Below is a breakdown of Derive Technologies’ unique methodologies to address each of these common networking issues:

Scenario #1

Derive Technologies has fine-tuned a phased approach to solving connectivity and performance issues that results in improved radio frequency (RF) wireless services. Our experts leverage their in-depth knowledge, expertise, and industry and application-based best practices to correct wireless challenges and establish a secure, scalable, and high-performance wireless infrastructure. Derive’s troubleshooting approach includes:

  • Phase 1: Wireless Network Site Survey - Our Ekahau Pro monitoring tool identifies any signal-related hiccups that might be affecting your wireless connection, like co-channel interference and low signal-to noise ratios (SNR). Our software pinpoints which areas require investigation or resolution so you can ensure optimal performance.
  • Phase 2: Fine-Tune Wireless Radio Frequency - Derive collaborates with your IT staff to fine-tune the wireless network, making sure it works as efficiently and securely as possible. A spectrum analyzer is deployed for real-time analysis of any proposed changes, which our experienced technicians will ensure causes no disruption or inconvenience. From assigning a static channel to an access point, or reducing the power of another, Derive delivers the best possible outcome for your unique environment.
Scenario #2

Using policy-based access controls like Cisco’s Identity Services Engine and Aruba’s ClearPass Policy Manager, Derive automates the provisioning of numerous resources while providing a secure access strategy for any endpoint device or user location (local or remote). Both products provide a rich set of features and functionality to help secure the network:

  • Wired, wireless, and VPN network admissions control with device health posturing and profiling Network segmentation, ensuring only permitted end-to-end traffic flows traverse the network, and enabling organizations to enforce a “zero-trust” security model
  • Network segmentation, ensuring only permitted end-to-end traffic flows traverse the network, and enabling organizations to enforce a “zero-trust” security model
Scenario #3

Derive Technologies’ engineering made this possible with the Emergency Network Extension System (ENES) kit. ENES provides a “network in a box”—a high-performance, easily deployed means of utilizing LTE cellular data service vendors to securely extend a hospital’s internal data network to one or more temporary, remote locations without the need for additional wired infrastructure.

In this instance, remote sites like medical relief tents placed in parking lots and other ad-hoc sites gained secure Internet and VPN access to hospital resources. This solution satisfied hospitals and other healthcare organizations that needed to expand the physical range of their data connectivity capabilities to accommodate patient care needs.
