Wifi Site Survey
WiFi is critical to modern business operations, enabling communication, collaboration, and productivity. With advancements like WiFi 6 and the soon-to-arrive WiFi 7, networks offer greater speed, efficiency, and capacity than ever before.
However, these benefits come with increased complexity, making proper network planning and validation crucial. This is where WiFi site surveys play a vital role, both before and after deploying or refreshing a network.
Why conduct a Wifi Site Survery
A WiFi site survey is a comprehensive process that examines the physical, technical, and environmental factors impacting wireless network performance.
It ensures that the network is designed and deployed to meet the specific needs of your business, maximising reliability, speed, and coverage.
The process involves gathering detailed data about your premises, current network setup, and user requirements to identify and address potential challenges before they impact operations.
​
While a pre-deployment survey lays the groundwork, a post-deployment survey is equally crucial. It validates that the network performs as designed and highlights any necessary adjustments. This ensures your business-critical WiFi operates reliably, enabling seamless operations and reducing downtime.
​
Investing in comprehensive WiFi site surveys is not just about technical excellence—it’s about safeguarding your business’s productivity and ensuring long-term performance.
Whether planning a network refresh or deploying new technology, site surveys are the cornerstone of a robust and future-ready WiFi solution.
