A detailed wireless audit helped a global financial software provider optimise network performance, reduce interference and improve user experience across its Paris office.
Client Overview
A global financial software provider required an in-depth assessment of its wireless infrastructure across its Paris office environment to ensure employees could rely on consistent connectivity for collaboration, voice services, cloud applications and day-to-day business operations.
Client Challenge
While the existing wireless network delivered strong signal coverage and excellent signal-to-noise ratios across both floors, users could still be impacted by performance issues caused by co-channel interference. Technimove’s survey identified that overlapping wireless channels, inconsistent channel widths and neighbouring wireless networks were creating unnecessary contention within the environment. These issues had the potential to affect wireless performance, reduce efficiency and impact user experience despite otherwise healthy coverage levels.
The organisation needed clear, evidence-based recommendations to optimise the existing infrastructure without investing in unnecessary hardware or increasing access point density.
Our Solution
Technimove conducted a comprehensive wireless site survey using Ekahau Pro AI with Sidekick, assessing coverage, signal strength, roaming capability, data rates, throughput, channel utilisation, interference levels and overall network health across the Paris site.
The assessment benchmarked the wireless estate against Ekahau best practice standards, allowing Technimove to identify performance bottlenecks and develop a targeted optimisation strategy.
Key Deliverables
- Comprehensive wireless audit across two office floors
- Signal strength and coverage analysis
- Signal-to-noise ratio assessment
- Channel interference analysis
- Data rate and throughput review
- Access point configuration assessment
- Wireless optimisation recommendations
- Network health and capacity validation
Benefits Delivered
Rather than identifying coverage gaps, the survey demonstrated that the organisation already had a strong wireless foundation, with good-to-excellent signal strength and excellent SNR levels capable of supporting business-critical applications such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Webex and VoIP services.
By pinpointing sources of co-channel interference and configuration inconsistencies, Technimove provided a clear path to improving network efficiency and overall user experience without the need for significant infrastructure investment.
The recommendations focused on:
- Reducing wireless contention and interference
- Improving roaming performance for mobile users
- Enhancing the reliability of voice and video applications
- Increasing airtime efficiency across the wireless estate
- Creating a more consistent user experience throughout the office
- Supporting future growth without compromising performance
These improvements would allow employees to move throughout the office while maintaining reliable connectivity and application performance, helping to reduce disruption and improve productivity.
Client Outcome
Technimove’s wireless assessment provided the client with a detailed understanding of the health of its wireless network and a clear roadmap for optimisation. Although coverage and signal quality were already performing well, targeted remediation around channel planning, interference reduction, channel width standardisation and data rate configuration was identified as the key to unlocking a significantly improved user experience.
With these recommendations implemented, the organisation can maximise the value of its existing wireless infrastructure, improve performance for modern collaboration tools and provide staff with a more reliable and responsive wireless environment.
