Wireless Network Assessment

WiFi is no longer a convenience — it's critical infrastructure. Your laptops, phones, tablets, VoIP phones, security cameras, point-of-sale systems, and IoT devices all depend on it. When wireless performance is unreliable, everything slows down. Calls drop. Video conferences freeze. Staff start tethering to their phones because "the WiFi is garbage again."

The frustrating part is that most wireless problems aren't caused by bad equipment. They're caused by bad placement, bad configuration, or both. An access point mounted in the wrong spot, channels overlapping with the business next door, a 2.4GHz radio drowning in interference from microwaves and Bluetooth devices. These are all fixable — once you know what's actually going on.

That's what a wireless assessment gives you: a clear picture of what your wireless environment looks like right now and a specific plan to make it work the way it should.

What We Do

Site Survey & Signal Analysis

We physically walk your space with professional survey tools and measure what's actually happening — signal strength, noise levels, signal-to-noise ratio, channel utilization, and coverage overlap. We test from the areas your people actually work, not just next to the access points. The result is a heat map showing exactly where coverage is strong, where it's weak, and where it doesn't exist.

Interference Detection

WiFi doesn't exist in a vacuum. Neighboring businesses, Bluetooth devices, wireless cameras, microwaves, cordless phones, and even some LED lighting can interfere with your wireless signal. We identify sources of interference and recommend channel, band, and power adjustments to minimize the impact. In dense environments like office buildings and strip malls, this alone can dramatically improve performance.

AP Placement & Coverage Optimization

Access point placement is both science and experience. Too few APs and you have dead zones. Too many and they interfere with each other. Mounted in the wrong spot and you're blasting signal into the parking lot instead of the conference room. We evaluate your current placement against the physical layout of your space — walls, ceilings, building materials, floor plans — and recommend optimal locations for consistent, reliable coverage everywhere your team needs it.

Roaming & Handoff Analysis

In larger spaces with multiple access points, devices need to seamlessly transition from one AP to another as users move around. When roaming doesn't work properly, you get momentary disconnections — which is especially painful for VoIP calls and video conferences. We test roaming behavior, check for sticky client issues, and configure your APs to support smooth handoffs across your entire space.

Capacity Planning

How many devices are connecting to each access point? Are certain APs overloaded while others sit idle? We analyze client density and usage patterns to make sure your wireless network can handle the actual load — not just today, but as your team and device count grow. This is especially important in environments with heavy WiFi dependency like warehouses with handheld scanners, clinics with mobile workstations, or offices going fully wireless.

Wireless Security Review

We also assess the security side of your wireless network. Are you still using WPA2-Personal with a shared password taped to the wall? Is your guest network actually isolated from your corporate network? Are there rogue access points — unauthorized devices broadcasting a signal on your network? We check all of it and recommend security improvements appropriate for your environment and risk level.

Who This Is For

This service is ideal for businesses that:

• Have constant complaints about WiFi speed or reliability

• Are moving to a new space and want wireless done right from the start

• Have added access points trying to fix coverage but things got worse

• Rely heavily on WiFi for daily operations — VoIP, mobile devices, wireless POS

• Have expanded or remodeled their space and the old wireless design no longer fits

• Need to support a growing number of devices without degrading performance

• Haven't had their wireless network professionally evaluated — ever

Why It Matters

Bad WiFi costs you money. Every minute an employee spends fighting a connection issue, waiting for a file to load, or redialing into a conference call is time they're not doing their actual job. Multiply that across your entire team and it adds up fast.

Beyond productivity, a poorly configured wireless network is a security risk. Open guest networks, weak encryption, and rogue APs can all provide an entry point for attackers — and they don't even need to be in your building to exploit them.

A professional assessment takes the guesswork out. You get real data, real recommendations, and a plan that's based on your actual environment — not a sales pitch for more hardware you don't need.
