Why a WiFi Survey?
A WiFi survey can vary in scope depending on the size of your premises and WiFi network and what you want to achieve.
Typical reasons to have a WiFi survey include:
​
-
You have performance problems. Something isn’t working properly.
-
You are planning on upgrading or installing a new system. Make sure that the design is appropriate.
-
You expect an increase in the number of wireless devices. Is your system likely to cope with the added demand?
-
To document and benchmark performance and coverage. This can be useful information and help you to quickly diagnose problems should you have any in the future.
What Does a WiFi Survey Entail?
For a full survey of an entire premises, we take measurements and gather data from around your building and plot them onto a floorplan (a photograph of a fire alarm zone map is often adequate).
We gather data on neighbouring wireless systems, wireless client devices (phones, tablets, laptops etc), detected interference and the possible causes, and a host of other data.
We can then use that information to generate visualisations of key information which can affect wireless performance which can help us to identify the root cause of wireless problems, can help in planning upgrades, or identify actions to take to make your wireless network work better.
​
If you do not require a full survey and just want us to focus on a particular problem area, or for smaller offices or domestic houses, we can also take measurements, run diagnostic tests, gather data and produce reports without the need to plot on a map and produce visualisations.
So What Are We Looking For?
Some Factors Affecting WiFi Performance
What Will You Receive?
Once we have completed the survey, we will send you the results, together with any recommendations or findings based on the agreed scope. Should you need further assistance in implementing changes to your system, we can help with this too!
How Much Will It Cost?
A WiFi survey of a typical small office location is available from £150 plus VAT to carry out the survey and produce the reports. If you have a larger premises, or want us to run extra diagnostic tests to focus on problem areas, this will add to the cost, but get in touch with your requirements and we will be happy to give you an estimate.
