Business Wi-Fi Surveys & Wireless Site Surveys
Whether you’re experiencing dead zones, unreliable roaming, slow wireless performance, or planning a new Wi-Fi deployment, a professional Wi-Fi survey provides the data needed to design, optimise, and troubleshoot your wireless network.
At DTE, we deliver comprehensive Wi-Fi surveys for offices, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, schools, healthcare environments, and multi-site organisations across the UK.
Why Businesses Need a Professional Wi-Fi Survey?
Poor Wi-Fi performance can affect productivity, communication, inventory management, customer experience, and business-critical applications.
A professional wireless survey helps identify:
🔹 Coverage gaps and dead zones
🔹 Interference from neighbouring networks
🔹 Poor roaming performance
🔹 Congested channels
🔹 Capacity limitations
🔹 Access point placement issues
🔹 VoIP and Teams call problems
🔹 Slow wireless speeds
🔹 Connectivity issues affecting scanners and mobile devices
Predictive Wi-Fi Surveys
A predictive survey uses building plans and specialist wireless design software to model coverage before installation.
Ideal for new offices, warehouse fit-outs, building refurbishments and new Wi-Fi deployments.
Passive Wi-Fi Surveys
Passive surveys analyse wireless performance without transmitting traffic across the network.
We assess:
🔹 Signal strength
🔹 Coverage quality
🔹 Interference levels
🔹 Channel utilisation
🔹 Noise levels
🔹 Existing wireless infrastructure
Active Wi-Fi Surveys
Active surveys connect directly to the wireless network and test performance from an end-user perspective.
Testing includes:
🔹 Throughput analysis
🔹 Roaming performance
🔹 Application performance
🔹 Voice and video quality
🔹 User experience validation

FAQ
A Wi-Fi survey is a professional assessment of wireless coverage, performance, interference, and capacity within a building or site.
Costs vary depending on site size, complexity, and survey type. Contact us for a tailored quotation.
Most surveys are completed within one day, although larger sites may require additional time.
Passive surveys analyse wireless signals, while active surveys connect to the network and test real-world performance.
Yes. Professional surveys can identify interference from neighbouring networks, equipment, and other RF sources.
In most business environments, a survey significantly improves deployment quality and reduces future performance issues.
We recommend surveying whenever major building changes, wireless upgrades, or performance issues occur.
