Professional WiFi Surveys, Powered by Ekahau

We use Ekahau tools to design networks properly — no guesswork, no dead zones, just reliable WiFi built on real-world data.

Every great network starts with data

A proper WiFi deployment starts with a proper survey. Whether you're building from scratch or improving an underperforming setup, we use industry-standard Ekahau tools to gather the data we need to design your network properly — before any cables go in. We offer three types of professional WiFi survey, depending on your space, requirements and stage of deployment.

Three survey types. One goal: reliable WiFi.

Different projects need different approaches. We match the survey type to your situation — whether that's a new build still on paper, an existing network that's struggling, or a mission-critical environment that demands precision.

Professional WiFi site survey with Ekahau

Passive (Performance) Surveys

Ideal for existing networks that aren't performing properly. We visit site and walk the floor with live measurement tools to analyse real-time WiFi performance — signal strength, interference, overlap, dead zones and more. You get a clear picture of what's working, what's not, and how to fix it.

Predictive Desktop Surveys

Perfect for new builds or early-stage projects. We use architectural drawings to simulate and design your network before anything is installed — ideal for tendering, early scoping or remote planning. We recommend access point locations, frequencies and expected coverage based on building layout and materials.

APoS (Access Point on a Stick) Surveys

For complex, high-density or critical environments. We bring our own access points and physically test signal strength in key areas of your site, temporarily mounting APs at intended heights. This gives highly accurate, location-specific data that validates a design before rollout. Ideal for warehouses, stadiums and buildings with unusual layouts.

What every survey includes

Regardless of the survey type, you receive a professional deliverable that gives you and your team everything needed to make informed decisions.

Frequently asked questions

What are the types of WiFi survey?
There are three main types: predictive, passive and active. A predictive survey uses architectural drawings to simulate coverage and determine the best access point locations. A passive survey measures real-time RF characteristics of an existing network, identifying signal strength, interference and dead zones. An active survey is the most comprehensive, gathering data on signal strength, retransmission rates, network traffic and data rates.
What does a WiFi survey consist of?
A WiFi survey is carried out by certified engineers who test for RF interference and establish optimal access point locations. Various tools are used depending on the survey type, with signal measurements, heatmap generation and troubleshooting forming part of most surveys. You receive a detailed report with recommendations and AP placement plans.
How long does a WiFi survey take?
It depends on the size and complexity of the site. A predictive desktop survey can be completed remotely within a few days. An onsite passive or APoS survey typically takes half a day to a full day for a standard office or building, longer for multi-floor or campus environments.
Do I need a survey if I'm installing new WiFi?
Yes — always. A survey ensures access points are placed based on real data rather than guesswork. It accounts for wall materials, interference sources, building layout and expected device density. Skipping the survey is the most common reason WiFi deployments underperform.
Can you survey on behalf of our client?
Absolutely. We regularly deliver white-labelled surveys for MSPs, IT consultants and fit-out contractors. We attend site discreetly, produce branded reports and hand over designs for your team to deploy.
