BTI Communications Group does a solid job. From the proposal process straight through to job completion and subsequent support, everyone does exactly what they say they will. We had a solution installed at one location as a test of sorts. Based on the success of that, we are now getting ready to install at a third location.

The BTI Difference

More Than a Meraki Dealer in Chicago South Suburbs

How It Works

How BTI Deploys Meraki for Chicago South Suburbs Businesses

Step 01

Understand Your Environment

We begin by reviewing your locations, users, applications, current infrastructure, connectivity problems, security requirements, and long-term plans. 

This helps ensure that the proposed Meraki environment is based on how your organization operates. 

Step 02

Evaluate Site Readiness

BTI assesses the physical and technical factors that could affect the deployment.

This can include cabling, mounting locations, available power, switching capacity, internet connectivity, equipment placement, and access to the facility.

Step 03

Select Hardware and Licensing

Our engineers identify the Meraki hardware, licensing, and supporting services required for the proposed environment.

The recommendations are based on your facilities, network requirements, connected devices, users, applications, and plans for future growth.

Step 04

Coordinate Installation and Configuration

BTI supports installation and configuration, so the equipment is deployed according to the approved network design and business requirements.

Our team can also coordinate the supporting infrastructure needed to bring the environment online.

Step 05

Support, Renew, and Expand Your Network

After deployment, BTI can continue supporting your organization through monitoring, troubleshooting, licensing renewals, hardware upgrades, infrastructure changes, and future expansion.
