Wi-Fi Design
& Survey.
Done Right.
Predictive design, professional installation, and post-deployment active survey — every Wi-Fi engagement is backed by Ekahau heatmaps, not guesswork.

Four Ways to
See Your Network.
Different survey types answer different questions. We match the methodology to your objective — whether you're planning a new deployment, validating an existing network, or diagnosing interference.
Passive Survey
Listen-only · No association
The surveyor walks the site while Ekahau passively listens to all visible APs. No association required — the tool captures RSSI, channel, SSID, and interference from every 802.11 device in range.
Active Survey
Associated · Real throughput
The survey device associates to your SSID and performs real data-rate testing as the surveyor walks. Captures actual throughput, packet loss, roaming events, and MCS rates — not just RSSI.
Predictive Design
CAD-based · Pre-deployment
Using Ekahau AI Pro with your floor plan, we model AP placement, power levels, and channel assignments before a single cable is pulled. Predict coverage, capacity, and co-channel interference upfront.
Spectrum Analysis
Non-Wi-Fi interference
The Ekahau Sidekick 2 includes a full spectrum analyser for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Identify microwave leakage, Bluetooth congestion, DECT phones, baby monitors, and any non-802.11 interference before it degrades your network.
From Brief to
Certified Heatmap.
Our Wi-Fi engagements span the full process — site walk, predictive design, installation, and post-deployment validation. Every step documented, every deliverable included.
Requirements Gathering
Concurrent device counts, application types (VoIP, video, IoT), roaming requirements, and security policies documented before survey. The right design starts with the right brief.
Site Walk & Floor Plan Collection
Every floor walked and measured. Accurate floor plans collected or CAD files requested. Wall types, construction materials, and physical obstructions documented — all of which affect RF propagation.
Predictive RF Design
Ekahau AI Pro predictive model built from your floor plans. AP placement, antenna selection, transmit power, and channel plan optimised for coverage, capacity, and co-channel interference before deployment.
AP Placement & Installation
APs installed at surveyed locations. Ceiling mounts, wall mounts, or above-ceiling plenum installs. All cabling certified Cat 6A. PoE switch ports confirmed. No guesswork on cable routes.
Post-Deployment Active Survey
Once APs are live, a full active survey is conducted with Ekahau Sidekick 2 — associating to the SSID and walking every area to capture real RSSI, SNR, throughput, and roaming events.
Spectrum Analysis
Full 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz spectrum scan performed to identify non-802.11 interference sources. Microwave, DECT, Bluetooth — all detected, located, and documented.
Coverage & Capacity Validation
Every zone checked for minimum RSSI (-65 dBm or better), SNR (25 dB or better), and throughput targets. Coverage gaps and under-served high-density areas identified and remediated.
Roaming Performance Testing
Client roaming between APs validated for seamless handoff. 802.11r/k/v support verified where required. Voice-grade roaming tested where VoIP or real-time applications are in scope.
Heatmap & Channel Analysis
Ekahau heatmaps generated for RSSI, SNR, channel utilisation, and co-channel interference. Channel plan adjusted where necessary and final AP settings locked down.
Survey Report & Heatmaps
Full Ekahau survey project file, heatmaps for all measured metrics, channel plan, AP configuration summary, and remediation recommendations — all delivered at handover.
Every Environment.
Properly Surveyed.
Dense offices, challenging warehouses, healthcare environments, and hospitality venues — each has unique RF requirements. We know them, and we design to them.
Corporate Offices
High-density office Wi-Fi for open-plan floors, meeting rooms, and huddle spaces. Designed for seamless roaming between floors, VoIP and video conferencing performance, and BYOD guest segmentation.
What we deliver in this environment
Ekahau Sidekick 2.
Professional-Grade.
The Ekahau Sidekick 2 is a dedicated survey hardware unit — not a laptop Wi-Fi card. It captures 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz simultaneously, with an integrated spectrum analyser that detects non-802.11 interference that consumer hardware misses entirely.
Survey deliverables — what you receive
Wi-Fi Built on
Evidence.
Anyone can install access points. We design, survey, and certify — so you know your Wi-Fi performs to the standard you paid for, with documentation to prove it.
Talk to Our TeamSurvey Before You Deploy
We design with a predictive model and validate with a post-deployment survey — not just a walk with a phone app. Every deployment is evidence-based.
Real-World Testing
Active surveys associate to your SSID and measure real throughput, not just signal strength. We test the network you'll actually use — including roaming behaviour.
Spectrum Awareness
Ekahau Sidekick 2 includes dedicated spectrum analysis hardware. We find non-802.11 interference that RSSI surveys miss completely.
Heatmaps You Can Act On
Every survey produces heatmaps, channel analysis, and a written report. Not just a pretty picture — clear evidence of coverage quality and remediation priority.
Wi-Fi That Works.
Surveyed to Prove It.
Tell us your site size, device counts, and applications. We'll scope the right survey type, design the network, and deliver heatmap evidence that it meets the brief.
