A Wi-Fi design serves as a blueprint for your wireless network. Ultimately, Wi-Fi design is the process of taking your business’s requirements for Wi-Fi connectivity and turning them into a plan for a high-performing and reliable network. It’s the translation of your business needs — how many devices need Wi-Fi (capacity) and where they need it (coverage) — into a deployment plan detailing how many access points (APs) you’ll need, where they need to be installed, and how they should be configured in order to satisfy the demands of your users.
The RIGHT number of APs
Get awesome Wi-Fi performance and reliability without overspending on unnecessary infrastructure.
In the RIGHT locations
Using thousands of automated iterations, Ekahau Pro helps you identify the exact right locations to mount your wireless access points.
With the RIGHT configurations
Skip the guesswork with automatic channel plans and AP settings perfectly tuned to your requirements and layout.
Understanding how a network will be used makes it easy to translate business needs into the specific inputs for your design software. What are the different types of devices that will need to connect to Wi-Fi? How many of those devices need concurrent access? What is the least capable, most important device for your business? The answers to these questions will help you translate your business needs into Wi-Fi Design requirements for:
The physical environment plays a big role in how a network performs. Turn to the site floor plan and walk the site to gather information to help you identify the radio frequency (RF) behaviour in your environment. How high are ceilings in the coverage area? Is there sufficient access to mount access points? What are the walls made of? How noisy are the neighbouring networks? The answers to these questions will help you translate environmental factors into RF requirements for:
As part of our Wi-Fi design services, we first start by sitting down with our clients to fully understand business and environmental RF requirements, to then input into the design specification. This ensures that all relevant details are captured, to enable us to deliver a solution that is tailored to our clients’ requirements.
We provide expertise in Ekahau products, training and services to enable businesses to design, deploy and manage great Wi-Fi
