Wireless Survey & Planning

Planning for a new WiFi install

To ensure complete wireless coverage, you need a predictive design plan that incorporates the building's construction, wall types and any internal racking, machinery or equipment that may impede signal propagation. We’ll evaluate your spaces, which usually requires a site visit.

This site data, along with the agreed specification, are then used to create a design plan for the number of Access Points required and their locations. Our report will include signal strength maps showing the predictive coverage once the Access Points have been installed, and our recommendations to aid best performance.

Surveying an existing Wireless Network

When there are complaints about the WiFi or you want to verify performance, you'll need a live survey. To perform the survey our engineers will walk the entire space, that’s in and around every room, capturing signal data with our specialist tools and assessing the Access Points and their environment along the way.

Our reports include colour-coded heat maps showing the signal coverage per floor and analysis of any issues found (network / AP / channel / interference). We'll re-design relevant areas that don’t meet the specification, plus include advice around installation and configuration to improve performance. Sample reports available.

WiFi Troubleshooting

Wireless is key to almost every businesses, so when its not working the way you need it to, it can be frustrating and time consuming. We’ve investigated wireless installed in offices, factories & warehouses, and experience has taught us that these environments are very different! We have the tools and knowledge to help with AP placement, interference, slow speeds and poor connectivity, to ensure your wireless is working at its best.
