The demand for and requirements of wireless networks are growing rapidly
Whether in industry, retail, logistics, healthcare, or on campus—seamless, wireless communication is essential in every sector today. Even for small businesses, the number of clients that need to be connected wirelessly adds up. Bandwidth and network coverage must be designed accordingly to achieve the required data throughput, the desired stability, and reliable availability. Professional Wi-Fi planning is therefore a prerequisite for your perfect Wi-Fi network.
No dead spots with professional Wi-Fi planning
A professional Wi-Fi site survey determines the optimal number and placement of access points to achieve perfect Wi-Fi coverage for the building or site. Structural conditions, dead zones, or sources of interference are identified and visualized in advance—and can be taken into account and addressed during the planning phase.
Perfect Wi-Fi everywhere – for greater efficiency and satisfied users
Reliable, comprehensive Wi-Fi coverage saves time, boosts efficiency, and reduces long-term support costs for businesses. But above all, a well-functioning Wi-Fi network ensures user satisfaction: wirelessly connected employees and machines, hotel guests, students, hospital staff, or logistics professionals—they all appreciate a strong Wi-Fi connection.
Your specific requirements form the basis of every planning project. We assess all external conditions, determine your access point requirements, and verify the correct placement using simulation measurements conducted directly on-site. A pilot installation—featuring a temporary access point setup followed by live measurements—ensures the highest level of accuracy. We also evaluate existing Wi-Fi infrastructures to identify and eliminate potential sources of error.
Using detailed building plans, information about the building’s structure, and your requirements regarding data rates and stability, we simulate Wi-Fi coverage using the professional planning software Ekahau AI Pro. The planning is supported by reference measurements: For this purpose, spot measurements are taken in a representative section of the building using the Sidekick, Ekahau’s precise measurement hardware. Your Wi-Fi is then simulated and documented on the building floor plan, taking the results into account. The access points can then be installed at the documented locations. Additionally, an acceptance measurement can be performed.
The most accurate planning is achieved through measurement based on a pilot installation: Access points are temporarily installed in the building according to the results of software-based simulations—and then measured. Based on these results, the installation points and channels can be adjusted and optimized. This method is the most time-consuming, but it delivers the most precise results. It is particularly recommended for complex building architectures. A final acceptance measurement can also be performed here.
Interference can usually only be identified and eliminated through targeted measurements. During a walkthrough of the entire relevant area, the Wi-Fi network is mapped and visualized. A subsequent analysis of field strength, signal-to-noise ratio, interference, channel overlap, and data rates enables the identification of sources of interference or dead zones. The final documentation describes sources of error and how they can be eliminated. An acceptance test can also be performed here.
Don't leave the planning of your Wi-Fi infrastructure to chance, trust the experts: We plan the perfect Wi-Fi for your company - everywhere.
