A wireless survey is the foundation of any reliable WiFi network. Without understanding how radio signals behave in a real environment, networks are often deployed based on assumptions, leading to coverage gaps, interference, and inconsistent performance.
NextGen Networks provides structured wireless surveys to help businesses understand their environment, identify performance issues, and design networks that work in practice. Our surveys support new installations, upgrades, and troubleshooting, providing clear data and recommendations to guide network design and optimisation.
We assess coverage, interference, capacity, and physical site characteristics to ensure wireless infrastructure is planned correctly from the outset.
Every environment is different. Building materials, layout, machinery, shelving, and neighbouring networks all affect wireless performance. A wireless survey helps you:
A structured survey reduces guesswork and prevents costly rework after installation.
We review your site layout, usage requirements, and operational environment to understand how the network will be used.
We measure wireless signal levels across the site to identify weak areas, dead zones, and over coverage.
We assess competing networks and other sources of radio interference to inform channel planning and access point placement.
We consider device density, usage patterns, and peak demand to ensure the network can support real world workloads.
We provide practical recommendations for access point placement, configuration, and hardware selection to support reliable performance.
Common Questions About Wireless Surveys
A wireless survey is a structured assessment of how WiFi signals behave within a building or site. It measures coverage, interference, and environmental factors to inform network design and optimisation.
We measure signal strength across the site to identify areas with weak or no coverage. This data is used to plan access point placement to ensure consistent connectivity.
We analyse the radio spectrum to identify competing networks and other interference sources. This helps us design channel plans and reduce performance issues.
We analyse the radio spectrum to identify competing networks and other interference sources. This helps us design channel plans and reduce performance issues.
Walls, shelving, metal structures, and machinery can absorb or reflect radio signals. We account for these factors when designing coverage and access point placement.
We design networks to use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands appropriately, prioritising higher performance bands while maintaining coverage where required.
Yes. We design access point placement and configuration to support seamless roaming, reducing disconnects and performance drops as users move through the site.
We advise on suitable enterprise grade hardware and configuration to ensure performance, security, and long term reliability.
Yes. Surveys can be used to diagnose existing network issues, including coverage problems, interference, and performance degradation.
Wireless surveys are recommended for offices, warehouses, retail spaces, hospitality venues, and any environment where reliable WiFi is critical.
