Our wireless accreditations
Surveys for seamless store connectivity
Retail WiFi performance can change as store layouts, customer numbers and connected devices evolve. Shelving, building materials and neighbouring wireless networks can create coverage gaps, interference and unreliable connections.
DTE uses professional WiFi surveys to assess:
🔹 Sales floor coverage – Identify weak signals and WiFi dead zones
🔹 Payment connectivity – Investigate EPOS terminal disconnections
🔹 Stockroom WiFi – Assess coverage for scanners and inventory systems
🔹 Wireless interference – Detect competing signals and congestion
🔹 Network capacity – Evaluate performance during peak trading
🔹 Device roaming – Assess connectivity as employees move throughout stores
Our wireless partners
Designed for coverage. Built for retail.
Reliable retail WiFi starts with a network designed around your store’s layout, connected technology and operational demands. Poor planning can lead to inconsistent coverage, overloaded access points and unreliable connectivity.
Our retail WiFi network design services include:
🔹 Network planning – Design around store layouts and workflows
🔹 Hardware selection – Recommend suitable APs and antennas
🔹 Coverage optimisation – Support connectivity across floors and stockrooms
🔹 Device requirements – Accommodate EPOS, scanners and digital signage
🔹 Network segmentation – Separate guest access from business systems
🔹 Future scalability – Plan for additional devices and store expansion
Access points in the right places
Access point placement plays a critical role in retail WiFi performance. Shelving, store fixtures, building materials and neighbouring networks can affect wireless coverage, particularly in busy shopping environments.
DTE selects and installs retail WiFi access points based on your store layout and connectivity requirements, considering:
🔹 AP positioning – Optimise placement for consistent store-wide coverage
🔹 Antenna selection – Choose hardware suited to your environment
🔹 Checkout connectivity – Support reliable wireless payment systems
🔹 Stockroom coverage – Extend connectivity into storage and back-of-house areas
🔹 Customer demand – Account for busy periods and guest devices
🔹 Wireless interference – Reduce congestion and overlapping signals
