Walt Jimenez - The Wi-Fi Surveyor

I have been in I.T. since 1995 while learning how to use computers since highschool. I have been a professional Wi-Fi site surveyor for 12 years since 2005. I knew from the get-go that Wi-Fi was going to be a huge revolution in I.T. and followed the technology and became very involved. I have seen every generation of Wi-Fi from the very beginning since it was ever incepted. We are now on the 9th Generation of Wi-Fi and it has come a long way since the beginning.

Wi-Fi Generation Standards:

1.) "B" 802.11b - released 1999 with transfer speeds up to 11 MB/s
2.) "A" 802.11a - released 1999 with transfer speeds up to 54 MB/s
3.) "G" 802.11g - released 2003 with transfer speeds up to 54 MB/s
4.) "AH" 802.11ah - released 2007/2016 with transfer speeds up to 350 MB/s
5.) "N" 802.11n - released 2009 with transfer speeds up to 600 MB/s
6.) "AC" 802.11ac - released 2014 with transfer speeds up to 1000 MB/s
7.) "AF" 802.11af - released 2014 with transfer speeds up to 600 MB/s
8.) "AC" 802.11ac Wave 2 MUMIMO - released 2016 with transfer speeds up to 6000 MB/s
9.) "AD" 802.11ad - released 2016 with transfer speeds up to 7000 MB/s

I am probably the most experienced solo Wi-Fi site surveyor in all of British Columbia and Western Canada. Over the past 12 years since 2005, I have performed hundreds of Professional Wireless Site Surveys and completed Wi-Fi Assessment reports for individuals, and small to medium sized businesses, and large organizations.
I have successfully designed over 2000 Wi-Fi hotspot location deployments as far as Yukon Territories and Alberta and Saskatchewan. I have revamped problematic Wi-Fi deployments with necessary hardware upgrades and relocations. I have designed topographical maps for Wireless Access Point network installation locations.

Most of this info can be found inside my professional resume and LinkedIn career profile here
[ https://ca.linkedin.com/in/walt-jimenez-612b372 ]. I have a passion for Wi-Fi and it is a technology that keeps growing and getting better as time goes on. Think of a moment when you wished you had Wi-Fi. It's a luxury we never had in the past, and now it's so common we sometimes forget how important it can be.
