APs placed by gut feel leave dead zones, interference pockets, and roaming gaps you discover at the worst moment. We start with a site survey, design from RF data, and deploy access points where the physics says they go — then validate coverage before we leave.
Consumer-grade APs placed in hallways, enterprise APs dropped from a ceiling tile without a survey, or a "same number of APs as the old building" spec — these are how wireless networks fail. The fix is rarely more hardware. It's understanding what the RF environment actually looks like before anything goes in the ceiling.
Wireless done right is a process, not a product. Every engagement follows the same sequence regardless of scale.
Predictive survey using floor plan modeling before deployment to establish AP count and placement. Active walk-through survey on existing environments — mapping RSSI, channel utilization, interference sources, and coverage gaps. Output: heat maps and placement recommendations your installation can follow.
AP placement designed from the survey — count, mounting height, antenna orientation, and channel plan. Designed to support your client density, application mix (voice, video, data), and any compliance-required segmentation. No over-deployment, no gaps.
Physical installation of access points — ceiling, wall, or outdoor — on the Cat6A or fiber drops the design calls for. Managed and controller-based deployments configured for roaming, band steering, SSID segmentation, and QoS. We work with Cisco Meraki, Ubiquiti, Aruba, and Extreme.
Guest, staff, IoT, and voice SSIDs mapped to separate VLANs with appropriate firewall policy. Required for HIPAA-covered wireless environments, PCI-DSS compliance, and cyber insurance questionnaires that ask whether IoT devices are network-isolated.
Active survey after installation — confirming coverage, signal levels, channel plan, and roaming behavior match the design. Findings addressed before project close-out. Validation report delivered with the documentation package.
Audit and optimization of existing wireless environments — channel and power tuning, AP repositioning, firmware updates, and roaming configuration. For environments where the hardware is fine but the configuration is not.
You get a predictive heat map before we order hardware — so you can approve the design and AP count before anything is purchased. And you get a validation heat map after deployment — confirming coverage matches what was designed. Both are included in the project deliverable package.
A site survey takes a few hours and produces the data a proper wireless design requires. We'll walk the space, identify the RF environment, and tell you exactly what a deployment covers for your building and your use case.
