We survey, install, and tune business wireless that doesn’t fall over when the building fills up. UniFi, Ruckus, and Aruba — mounted clean, segmented right, and coverage to every corner.

Cleveland wireless splits between downtown offices where thick masonry and neighboring networks wreck coverage, and warehouse or medical space where consumer gear was never going to survive. Lake-effect seasonality adds a wrinkle nobody expects: buildings that perform fine in July can behave differently once storm windows and seasonal partitions go up. We survey, then hard-wire enterprise APs where the measurements say.
Cleveland’s stock runs the whole century — terra-cotta and steel towers downtown, warehouse conversions in the Flats and Ohio City, mid-century office in the eastern suburbs, and modern flex space from Independence to Solon.
Terra-cotta and brick attenuate severely. Per-floor coverage design, not building-wide guessing.
Open volumes with steel structure — reflection as much as absorption.
Imaging and lead-lined rooms are coverage holes by design; the plan works around them.
Design for loaded racking, and mount where forklifts will not find the AP.
The cabling that feeds access points follows NEC plenum and fire-stopping requirements. Practically, older Cleveland buildings frequently lack PoE-capable switching, and that upgrade belongs in the quote rather than surfacing as a change order.
Masonry blocks vertical propagation — each floor gets its own design.
Engineered for full racking so it holds in November.
Separated properly instead of sharing the network with visitors.

Northeast Ohio is a little over two hours from our Sunbury base. We engineer and project-manage directly and install through vetted Cuyahoga County crews rather than rotating marketplace labor, which is what makes warranty visits and follow-up adjustments practical instead of painful. For downtown towers and Flats conversions, we walk the risers before quoting — those buildings hide too much to estimate remotely.
One crew, one quote, and none of the “that’s not in scope” surprises. Here’s what a ClearMax wifi & access point installation job includes.
Predictive design plus an on-site walk to map real-world coverage, interference, and AP placement.
Ceiling, wall, or outdoor APs mounted clean, with concealed cabling and proper PoE.
Separate VLANs and SSIDs so guest traffic never touches your business network.
Channel planning and band steering so the network holds when every device is online.
Cloud or on-prem controller configured, with monitoring and remote management.
Post-install heatmap and speed testing so we prove the coverage, not just claim it.
From first walkthrough to hand-off, you always know what’s next and what it costs.
We walk the space, map coverage needs, and design AP placement around your real floor plan.
Flat, itemized quote. No subcontractor markups. We book same-week where we can.
APs mounted, cabling run and concealed, controller configured, VLANs segmented.
Heatmap + speed test to prove coverage, then remote management if you want us to keep it running.
We install for specific industries and speak their software and compliance. Find your specialist page:
Line-by-line, so you know what every dollar buys.
No subcontractor roulette. One accountable team.
Hardware at our cost. We don’t mark it up.

In open modern space sometimes; in Cleveland’s masonry stock almost never. Interior brick and terra-cotta walls isolate rooms that look adjacent on a plan. The survey determines real count, which is the only honest way to quote.
Buildings change. Storm windows, seasonal partitions, and inventory levels all affect propagation. We design with margin so normal seasonal change does not create dead zones.
Enterprise access points require PoE, and many older buildings do not have it. We verify during the survey and include any switching upgrade in the quote.
