Targeted Wi-Fi remediation eliminated interference, restored performance and avoided unnecessary infrastructure spend.
Client Overview
A leading independent energy company operating critical oil and gas assets needed to resolve persistent Wi-Fi issues affecting its office environment.
With teams relying on consistent connectivity to support operations, collaboration and decision-making, unreliable performance was beginning to impact day-to-day effectiveness.
Technimove was engaged to identify the root cause and restore a stable, high-performing wireless environment without disrupting the wider network.
Client Challenge
Users across the site were struggling with inconsistent and, in some areas, non-existent connectivity.
The issue affected both floors and all frequency bands, limiting access to business-critical systems.
Despite having sufficient infrastructure in place, performance remained poor.
The root cause was identified as co-channel interference from a neighbouring wireless network operating on the same channels.
This created a wider operational impact:
- Slower day-to-day workflows
- Frustration for end users
- Reduced confidence in IT services
Our Approach
Rather than defaulting to a network refresh, Technimove focused on identifying the underlying cause of the issue.
Through a detailed wireless assessment, we validated how the network was performing in practice and where degradation was occurring.
We then:
- Identified external interference affecting the wireless environment
- Analysed channel usage and overlap across both floors
- Reconfigured access points onto non-conflicting channels
- Optimised channel allocation and width to reduce contention
- Fine-tuned the existing design to improve overall consistency
By confirming the existing access point estate was fit for purpose, the focus remained on optimisation rather than replacement.
Client Outcome
A reliable wireless environment
Following remediation, the network delivered stable and consistent connectivity across the entire site.
Users experienced:
- Reliable coverage in all working areas
- Improved performance across both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands
- Fewer dropouts and connection issues
A stronger platform for day-to-day operations
With connectivity restored, the wider impact was felt across the business:
- Teams could work without interruption
Access to systems and tools became consistent and predictable - Operational friction was reduced
Connectivity issues were no longer slowing down routine tasks - Existing investment was maximised
The network delivered as intended without additional hardware spend - Confidence in IT was restored
A stable environment reduced reliance on reactive support
Client Feedback
“Wi-Fi issues had become a constant frustration for our teams, and we initially expected it would require significant investment to resolve.
Technimove quickly identified the underlying cause and implemented a targeted fix that improved performance across the site. The difference in reliability was immediate, and it allowed our teams to work without the disruptions we had been experiencing.” – IT Operations Manager
