What is a WiFi Survey?
A WiFi survey is a vital part of planning and designing a fast, reliable and secure wireless network that supports your business or school. If your network isn’t meeting the needs of your workplace, staff or students, a number of factors could be the cause. In order to design a new network that meets your needs, it’s vital to identify where and why your wireless is under-performing or failing. This is where a wireless survey can help. Our engineers will conduct a professional WiFi survey using Ekahau Pro to identify existing and potential network issues including business and environmental, all delivered in a detailed wireless survey report.

Our range of professional WiFi surveys
Passive, predictive surveys
Quick, convenient and affordable, passive – or predictive surveys use your own insight as well as floorplans to create a simulated version of your WiFi network that takes square footage, wall types and user requirements into account. We then create simulated designs of your new network, and our network engineer demonstrates a live performance via WebEx.
Active, site surveys
Only an on-site walk collecting live data will give us a full, in-depth understanding of your real-life WiFi performance, factoring in interference from buildings, other networks, machinery/metal and other extenuating circumstances that affect end-performance. This enables us to design the perfect network for your organisation, guaranteeing optimum performance.
Validation surveys
We always recommend a validation survey, especially if your design was done via a passive survey. We don’t consider your project complete until you’re happy with the end-performance, so a validation – or verification – survey irons out any issues and ensures optimum configuration. These surveys can be done remotely.
What to Expect from a WiFi Site Survey
In order to give you an in-depth understanding of your wireless network’s performance, our WiFi surveys begin way before we arrive on-site. Our Ekahau certified, highly-qualified engineers work with you from the very first phone call to understand your business requirements and how effectively they are being met by your current network. Prior to visiting your site, we examine floorplans and map out a survey walk that will pinpoint where and why you are not receiving the performance you need.
During our site visit, our engineer will carry out portable spectrum analysis using Ekahau Survey – the market leading tool in WiFi survey equipment – to map wireless performance to your floorplan with precision.
Our engineer will also suggest remedial actions during their visit so you can see immediate improvement in performance.
We then analyse the data from our survey and produce a detailed, client-owned report that will give you a full understanding of your wireless, as well as a roadmap towards a new, high-performance network. Our ‘traffic light’ recommendations – short, medium and longer-term actions – will be bespoke to your business, marrying up your current and future requirements, budget, and the performance-affecting factors at your workplace.
