Wi-Fi designed for the places where your teams work.
A good connection next to the access point says nothing about what happens at the back of the workshop. Wi-Fi needs to be assessed in real working conditions.
Look at the premises and how people move.
Partitions, room volumes, shelving and outdoor areas can affect connection conditions. We identify the areas to cover, the equipment used and the key routes, especially when staff move around with their handheld devices.
Define what the network must support.
Phones, business handhelds, computers and guest access do not have the same needs. The project distinguishes between uses, how critical they are and the access rules. The placement and sizing of equipment follow from this study.
Check the whole chain.
What looks like a Wi-Fi problem may also involve internet access, a piece of equipment or the application. We organise the checks without concluding remotely that adding an access point is enough.
Validate in your actual conditions of use.
The agreed tests should reflect the priority areas and uses. Any limits are documented. Changes to the premises, stock or uses may require a new assessment of the network.
Applying this to your line of work.
Industry: Staying reachable between offices and workshops, mobility, and work planned with operations.
Logistics and warehouses: Connecting handheld devices, routes through the aisles and coordination between goods-in, picking and loading docks.
Food industry: Production, quality and shipping uses, with the physical and operational constraints of the site.
Hospitality and tourism: Guest Wi-Fi, reception tools and preparation for peak periods.
Retail and store networks: Connecting points of sale, coordinating with software vendors and monitoring the store network.
Your questions
Does adding access points fix every dropout?
No. Coverage, sizing, settings and other possible causes need to be examined.
Can you promise full coverage from a floor plan?
A floor plan helps prepare the study, but it is not enough to demonstrate actual conditions on site.
Got a digital issue? You don’t have to work out who should handle it.
