Wi-Fi that holds, wherever you stand

Access points are the small boxes on the ceiling that send out the Wi-Fi signal. Most Wi-Fi problems come down to where they sit, not which ones you bought. So we measure first, draw a plan and test every room before we leave.

Before and after a survey

Slide the handle across. On the left, an office floor with one router in the store cupboard. On the right, the same floor with three access points placed from a survey.

It starts with a walk round

We bring an access point on a pole, stand it where a real one could go and measure what actually reaches each room. Walls, racking and stock all behave differently, and a drawing alone cannot tell you that.

The walk round also shows us the dead spots, anything nearby that interferes, and the route each cable can take.

What is included

Every job gets all six.

Before we fit

  • A site survey

    We walk the building with survey kit and map the signal you have today, room by room. Everything else follows from that map.

  • A drawn design

    A plan showing where each access point goes and the cable route back to the cabinet, for you to agree before anything is ordered.

On the day

  • A neat installation

    Our own engineers fix and cable every access point. Each one is powered through its network cable, so no extra sockets.

  • Separate networks

    Staff, guests, tills and sensors each get their own network, so a visitor's phone never sits beside your files.

After we leave

  • Proof that it works

    A second survey after fitting, with a coverage map of the finished job for you to keep.

  • Monitoring and care

    We watch the network from our office and replace failed kit, so you hear from us before your staff notice anything is wrong.

  • A sealed access point high on a wall

  • Two small dishes joining a second building

Outdoors and between buildings

Outside, the access points have to survive rain, frost and the odd forklift, so we fit sealed units high on the wall, out of harm's way.

Where a second building has no cable, a point-to-point wireless link, two small dishes aimed at each other, can join it to the main network without digging a trench across the yard.

  • Car parks
  • Loading bays
  • Beer gardens
  • Gatehouses
  • Second buildings

Straight answers

Do you need to close the building to fit it?

Rarely. We run the cabling outside your busiest hours, and each access point takes well under an hour to fix and test.

Can you reuse the cabling and kit we already have?

Often, yes. If your existing network cabling tests well we use it, and we tell you plainly which kit is worth keeping.

What are Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7, and do we need them?

They are newer versions of Wi-Fi that cope better with lots of devices at once. We recommend what suits the devices you actually have.

How long does a job take?

A small office is usually surveyed one week and fitted the next. Larger sites are planned in stages so the building keeps working.

What happens if something stops working?

We watch every network we look after, so we normally see a fault before you do. We fix it remotely where we can and visit where we cannot.
