We signed a contract with First Corp International (FCI), headquartered in Fort Worth TX, to upgrade their office LAN as they were having performance issues as well as signal reach. FCI is an international wholesale drill bit supply company. They serve the water well, geothermal, mining, oil and gas industries. Their customers are independent drillers, national and international drilling companies as well as national oil companies.

As FCI didn't have a dedicated Tech Employee, our first task was discovering their network and checking for performance and signal issues. The second tasks, when the issues were identified was doing several network upgrades, got a new switch as well as wireless routers and extenders. In regards to the task of extending the coverage to the assembly area, where the drill bits are repaired and cleaned, we ended up using Powerline WIFI and it worked with less interference than using signaling.
Several future projects we are discussing is automating several aspects of the network deployment as well as a possibility of an IoT based inventory system. Stay tuned.
