Steps In Our Process

Our Approach

In most offices and buildings, it’s common for some rooms or corners to have a strong wireless signal while others are weak or totally dead.

A stable and strong reliable network connection means less disruption in your business operation and daily workflow.

Network engineers at Custech use Wi-Fi heat maps to show a layout of an office room or any other floor plan that overlays over a graphical representation of a wireless signal. This technology helps us identify the weak spot location, and can also be used for designing or troubleshooting a wireless network infrastructure. We provide wireless site surveys and heat mapping services to companies in Atlanta, GA. Wireless site surveys can help your company appropriately plan and install or update your wireless network for maximum connectivity.

Additionally, wireless heat mapping enables continual monitoring to measure how connectivity fluctuates over time.

Engaging outside expertise to provide the best solution for your organization is an important step for Wi-Fi heat mapping. Your business will utilize your wireless network every day, ensure it is up to par.

Our team at Custech can assist your company by improving the performance of your network based on information generated from a Wi-Fi heat map. Whether it’s assessing the level of performance on an existing Wi-Fi network, or gathering the information needed for a new high-performance installation, our team can get the job done.

A Wi-Fi site survey is a process of assessing and analyzing the wireless signal coverage and quality within a specific area, such as an office, home, or public space. The survey is conducted to plan, design, and optimize the deployment of Wi-Fi networks. It involves the following key steps:

1

Assessment of Physical Environment: The surveyor examines the physical layout of the location, including walls, obstacles, and potential sources of interference that may impact Wi-Fi signal propagation.

2

Signal Strength Measurements: Using specialized tools or software, the surveyor measures the signal strength at various locations to identify areas with weak or strong Wi-Fi coverage.

3

Noise and Interference Analysis: The survey assesses potential sources of interference, such as other Wi-Fi networks, electronic devices, and physical barriers, to determine their impact on network performance.

4

Channel Planning: Based on the findings, the surveyor recommends optimal Wi-Fi channels to minimize interference and maximize network performance.

5

Access Point Placement: The surveyor suggests the strategic placement of Wi-Fi access points to ensure even coverage and minimize signal dead zones.

6

Capacity Planning: In high-density areas, the survey takes into account the number of users and devices to ensure the Wi-Fi network can handle the expected traffic.

7

Heatmap Generation: Data collected during the survey is often used to create heatmaps, visual representations that display the signal strength and coverage across the surveyed area.

8

Report and Recommendations: Upon completion, the surveyor provides a detailed report with analysis, recommendations, and a proposed Wi-Fi network design.

Wi-Fi site surveys are essential for organizations and individuals looking to create efficient, reliable, and high-performing wireless networks tailored to their specific needs and environments.
