RF Site Surveys
Professional RF surveys using spectrum analyzers and survey software to map signal strength, interference, and coverage across your actual facility — not a guess.

Illustrative RF model. Actual coverage is measured on site.
Convenient placement can leave gaps around obstacles.
Professional RF surveys using spectrum analyzers and survey software to map signal strength, interference, and coverage across your actual facility — not a guess.
Diagnosis of existing Wi-Fi problems — dead zones, slow speeds, roaming failures, intermittent drops — and engineered fixes that address the root cause.
Data-driven AP placement based on RF measurements, not floor plans. We tell you exactly where each AP should go and why.
Wi-Fi operates at the connectivity layer — the last wireless hop between users and the network. When RF is wrong, nothing above it works.
Because the problem isn't the access points — it's the RF environment. The latest APs can still perform poorly if they're placed in the wrong locations, on overlapping channels, or in high-interference areas. We've seen facilities with top-tier Cisco Meraki or Aruba APs that perform worse than a well-surveyed deployment of budget UniFi APs — because the budget deployment was RF-engineered and the expensive one wasn't.
An RF site survey uses spectrum analyzers and survey software to measure actual signal strength, interference, and coverage across your facility. It produces a heat map showing exactly where signal is strong, weak, or blocked. Without a survey, access points are placed by guesswork — resulting in dead zones, interference, and wasted hardware. A survey ensures every AP is placed where it provides maximum coverage with minimum interference.
Most IT vendors treat Wi-Fi as a networking problem — plug in APs, configure the controller, walk away. We treat Wi-Fi as an RF problem, because that's what it is. Our engineering team started in two-way radio and cellular in 1977 — we've been doing RF for 47 years. We use professional survey tools and spectrum analyzers, and we engineer the deployment based on measurements, not floor plans.
Yes. Warehouses are among the most challenging Wi-Fi environments — metal racking causes reflection and shadowing, inventory changes alter the RF landscape, and forklifts and equipment generate interference. We survey the actual operational environment (with inventory in place, equipment running) and design around the obstacles. We use directional antennas, mesh backhaul, and strategic AP placement to achieve coverage that consumer-grade deployments cannot.
Yes. We deploy weatherproof access points, mesh networking, and directional antennas for outdoor coverage — loading docks, parking areas, campus grounds, and outdoor event spaces. Outdoor Wi-Fi requires different engineering than indoor — weatherproofing, lightning protection consideration, longer distances, and different interference sources.
Yes. We configure VLAN segmentation to isolate guest traffic, operational traffic, IoT devices, and voice traffic. A compromised guest device cannot reach your production systems. This is essential for security and compliance, and it's standard practice in our deployments.
The cost depends on the size of your facility, the number of access points, and the complexity of the RF environment. An RF site survey is the first step — it's a fixed-fee engagement that produces a heat map, diagnosis, and remediation plan. The remediation itself is quoted based on the survey findings.
