The role of wireless networks has evolved from being a convenience to a cornerstone of modern business operations. With users expecting robust, secure, and seamless connectivity, deploying a fit-for-purpose wireless network is essential.
At Technimove, we understand the intricacies of wireless deployments, and our extensive experience in wireless assessments ensures your network is built to perform.
Achieving an optimal wireless network deployment often hinges on two critical steps: pre-installation surveys and post-installation surveys. Together, these assessments provide the foundation for a high-performing, scalable, and reliable wireless environment.
Why Wireless Matters
Wireless connectivity is no longer a luxury – it’s an expectation. Whether in coffee shops, shopping centres, stadiums, or office spaces, users anticipate reliable Wi-Fi access. This expectation extends to corporate environments, where seamless mobility enhances productivity, collaboration, and communication.
From moving effortlessly between desks, meeting rooms, and breakout spaces, to ensuring guest access for visitors, a robust wireless network is key to creating a modern, user-friendly office experience.
Furthermore, with the rise of IoT devices and cloud-driven applications, businesses need a wireless network that can handle diverse demands without compromising performance or security.
Pre-Installation Wireless Surveys
The journey to a successful wireless deployment begins with a thorough pre-installation survey. Often underestimated, this step is crucial—even for organisations upgrading existing networks.
Simply replacing old access points (APs) with new ones in the same locations may seem straightforward but can lead to suboptimal performance.
Why It Matters
Evolving Office Layouts: Modern office designs prioritise flexibility and user comfort, often leading to changes in desk arrangements and furniture placement.
IoT Integration: Devices like smart sensors or displays are frequently located in less obvious areas, requiring careful consideration during network planning.
Custom Requirements: Each environment has unique challenges, from interference to scalability needs.
A pre-installation survey evaluates these variables and provides detailed insights into:
- Optimal AP placement for maximum coverage.
- Interference mitigation strategies.
- Scalability for future growth.
Skipping this step risks leaving users frustrated with connection drops, slow speeds, or inconsistent coverage—all of which can inundate IT teams with support requests.
Post-Installation Wireless Surveys
While pre-installation surveys set the stage, post-installation surveys fine-tune the performance.
Despite the best planning, pre-installation surveys cannot account for every variable, particularly in greenfield sites where office furniture and equipment may not have been in place during the initial assessment.
The Benefits of Post-Installation Surveys
Performance Validation: Measure how the network is truly performing against expectations.
Optimisation: Adjust AP placements, signal strengths, or configurations to improve coverage and connectivity.
User Experience Enhancement: Identify and resolve any weak spots, ensuring users enjoy a seamless experience.
Reduced Support Overhead: A well-tuned network means fewer IT tickets and more efficient network management.
