If you’re not sure whether your Wi-Fi is working as efficiently as it should, or you’re wondering whether there is a way of improving it and how, then you could consider doing a Wi-Fi survey.
Perhaps you’ve secured new office space, and want to overhaul the Wi-Fi set up before you and your employees move in. The site survey is an important tool for ensuring no issues happen when business begins. It could also save you money in the long term by enabling you to choose the right equipment up-front.
If you choose Geekabit to carry out your Wi-Fi site survey, you will be provided with an appropriately experienced and qualified Wi-Fi professional who will have undertaken similar work for a number of years. Their experience and expertise will mean that they will likely know what to expect and thus what to recommend for your needs.
What exactly will we do?
When we arrive we will generate coverage and performance heatmaps, determine network requirements and test network health to spot any potential issues.
We’ll check both 2.4 & 5GHz separately as well as Access Point coverage and Signal to Noise Ratio.
There will be a detailed review on capacity requirements and bottlenecks, providing a report on all surveyed areas.
Built-in requirements for VoIP, RTLS, video etc will be checked. We’ll factor in customizable requirements unique to your location and locate all access points. All APs, per SSID, channel or AP will be analysed.
Using the data we collect, we can visualize all or selected surveys, as well as measured, simulated or both.
We are also able to simulate how the network will perform using different Wi-Fi devices, helping make recommendations for what products you will need.
Our surveys fully support 802.11a/b/g/n/ac and provide a detailed, combined Wi-Fi and spectrum analysis.
Will we need anything from you?
Ideally you will be able to provide us with scale maps and drawings of your offices. If this isn’t possible, then we will have to factor in extra time to generate these prior to the site survey. This will mean that there will be an extra cost incurred.
Which brings us to the price. This is mainly based on the time it takes to survey each area of the building.
We then generate the survey report. This will provide analysis and recommendations to give an accurate guideline of products and where to place them.
Our average Wi-Fi site survey cost starts at around £750 for a multi-floor office of 300-400 workers, or a small care home based on one days work.
