Wi-Fi Survey Blackburn. Professional Wireless Site Surveys.
What is a Wi-Fi Survey?
A Wi-Fi survey (also known as a wireless site survey) is a detailed on-site analysis of your building to measure:
🔹 Signal strength and coverage
🔹 Interference from other networks and devices
🔹 Dead zones and weak areas
🔹 Network capacity and performance
This allows us to design a network tailored to your exact environment, not guesswork.

Firstly, just want to say what a positive experience we had with your field engineer last week. He was professional and very accommodating.
Challenges we solve
During professional wireless site surveys we regularly identify issues including:
Poor Access Point Placement
Access points installed in unsuitable locations often create inconsistent coverage and unnecessary interference.
Wi-Fi Dead Spots
Areas with little or no usable signal prevent users from connecting reliably. We identify these locations and recommend improvements.
Coverage Holes
Areas where users experience little or no usable wireless coverage.
Poor Roaming
Insufficient signal prevents reliable application performance.
Co-Channel Interference
Devices remain connected to distant access points rather than transitioning correctly.
Adjacent Channel Interference
Multiple access points operating on the same channel reduce available bandwidth.
Excessive Transmit Power
Overlapping channels create unnecessary contention and reduced throughput.
Sticky Clients
Incorrect power settings often create roaming problems rather than improving coverage.
High Retry Rates
Client devices refuse to roam even when a stronger signal is available.
Capacity Bottlenecks
Too many users competing for the same access point affects speed and reliability.
Bluetooth & Non-WiFi Interference
Nearby wireless technologies can reduce overall network performance.
Lift Shaft Attenuation
Building structures can significantly weaken wireless signals between floors.
