Wi-Fi & Surveys
Overview
Wi-Fi Installation
A smoothly running Wi-Fi network is what we rely on in our offices, there are many factors to consider when installing, such as location, interference and radio settings etc. Without all these settings set just right, Wi-Fi can become unreliable and intermittent.
Unifi Wi-Fi Access Points are used worldwide and are installed in most hotels, cafe's and airports to name a few, partly because of their reliability and affordability. In recent years Unifi dashboards have become extremely feature rich with graphics to display key elements regarding your Wi-Fi system.
Survey
To ensure the optimal operation of your Wi-Fi, it's imperative that you survey the site before installing, think of it as building a house without the plans, it would be total guess work. There are 2 types of surveys as described below:
Wi-Fi & Surveys
Offsite and Onsite Surveys
Offsite Survey
- This is where we input the dimensions from a site plan of the building and add virtual walls of different density to replicate your office environment. We then place the required Wireless Access Points to the plan which shows a heatmap of where the signal is reaching around your site. We can then quote more efficiantly and won't need to take an active existing Wireless system down.
Onsite Survey
- This is the most accurate but more costly method of surveying, but is needed for very dense and varying environments, mainly when vast amounts of machinery are being used, or other technologies that use radio waves that can cause interference. One of our engineers would survey every metre of your site, using our Wi-Fi scanning tools. We then can obtain a heatmap for you prior to quoting for any Install work, it is highly recommended to turn off all existing access points for this work to be carried out. This method would be used for most troubleshooting scenarios of an existing system.
