Introducing the Value of Wi-Fi Surveys

As you know, a strong and reliable wireless network is the backbone of any successful business operation. However, achieving optimal Wi-Fi coverage and performance can be challenging without the right information and planning. This is where Wi-Fi surveys come into play. At Sumillion, we understand the importance of a robust network, which is why we offer comprehensive Wi-Fi survey services to help our customers overcome any connectivity obstacles they may face.

So, what exactly is a Wi-Fi survey? In simple terms, it is a process of collecting information about a wireless environment to aid in the planning and optimisation of its network infrastructure.

There are a lot of benefits of conducting a Wi-Fi survey. Firstly, it enables you to provide optimum coverage and capacity throughout your workspace. By strategically placing access points (APs) based on the survey results, you can ensure that every corner of your office has a strong and reliable connection, eliminating dead zones and improving overall user experience.

Performing a Wi-Fi survey will help you to reduce IT downtime. By identifying potential sources of interference, such as neighbouring networks or physical barriers, our team can proactively address these issues, minimising disruptions to your network and ensuring uninterrupted connectivity for your employees and customers.

Cost reduction is another significant advantage. By optimising the placement of APs, you can minimise the number of devices required, resulting in cost savings in terms of equipment, installation, and maintenance. By identifying and resolving potential performance issues early on, you can avoid costly troubleshooting and downtime.

Boosting productivity is a key goal for any business, and a well-designed Wi-Fi network plays a crucial role in achieving this. Through a comprehensive survey, Sumillion can identify areas of low signal strength or network congestion, allowing us to fine-tune your network for optimal performance. This means faster data transfer, seamless video conferencing, and smoother collaboration, all of which contribute to increased productivity and efficiency in the workplace.

Security is also a top concern for businesses today, and a Wi-Fi survey helps address this issue. By thoroughly analysing your wireless environment, we can identify any security vulnerabilities or potential risks, such as unauthorised access points or weak encryption protocols. With this knowledge, we can implement robust security measures to safeguard your network and sensitive data from potential threats.

When it comes to Wi-Fi surveys, there are three main types: active, passive, and predictive. Active surveys involve connecting the surveying device to a single AP to measure its signal strength and troubleshoot existing networks. Passive surveys, on the other hand, do not connect to any AP but instead listen to the wireless environment, providing an overview of Wi-Fi performance across all APs in the area. Lastly, predictive surveys are conducted prior to deployment, creating a simulated model of a wireless network to determine the optimal AP locations based on user specifications.

When choosing a partner for your Wi-Fi survey needs, Sumillion is the ideal choice. Our dedicated team of experts will guide you through the entire process, from initial planning to survey and installation. We understand that every business is different, and we take the time to understand your exact requirements, ensuring that the solution we provide is customised to your specific needs.
