Maximise Your WiFi Performance with a Professional WiFi Site Survey
Remove the guesswork and get an accurate picture of your wireless network with a professional WiFi survey. Improve your coverage and connections, and overcome disruptions that affect operations with a WiFi survey from Redway Networks.


What is a WiFi Survey?
Whether you work in a school, warehouse or office environment, reliable WiFi with 'wired like' performance is now essential to enhance productivity. WiFi site surveys or network site surveys, ensure your wireless connectivity works as well as it can by identifying potential issues and resolving them - often before they become a problem.
WiFi surveys are a crucial step to any WiFi deployment as they build a picture of how your WiFi is working in different areas. WiFi surveys highlight issues such as signal strength, secondary coverage, channel overlap, data rates and packet loss .
Our experienced and certified wireless engineers can identify issues such as dead spots in large environments like warehouses or WiFi interference from other networks in multi-story office buildings.
A Redway Networks WiFi survey is conducted using Ekahau's industry leading mapping software to identify your wireless environment.

Our expert team ensures your network infrastructure evolves with your organisation, supporting growth without compromising security or performance.
From initial design to installation and ongoing support, we’re here to ensure your network is always performing at its best.
Why is a WiFi Survey Essential for Your Organisation?
At Redway Networks, we use WiFi surveys to assess your current network performance, analyse the radio frequency environment, identify dead zones, and pinpoint interference issues.
We use Ekahau's heat-mapping software to analyse your data and improve your wireless performance with detailed, expert-led processes.
Without thorough site surveys, it's impossible to validate a network design, troubleshoot ongoing issues, or propose new solutions confidently.
A Range of WiFi Surveys to Suit Your Needs
Predictive Surveys
Predictive Surveys are ideal for new builds or unestablished sites, simulating how the WiFi will perform without collecting live data. These data-driven software simulations estimate WiFi coverage and service-level agreements (SLAs) based on various factors such as building layout and client device
Active WiFi Site Surveys
An active WiFi survey involves connecting to your network and gathering live data on its performance. This on-site analysis enables our engineers to see exactly how your WiFi functions and identify any issues in real time.
Passive WiFi Site Surveys
For secure environments, a passive WiFi site survey doesn’t require network access.
We gather data without connecting to the network, providing insights without compromising on security.
When Should You Book a WiFi Survey?
A comprehensive WiFi survey can be booked at any time, but may need particular consideration during certain scenarios:
Setting up new WiFi networks often requires a survey to identify weak spots and optimise the setup for reliable signal strength.
1
Site expansions
If your wireless network needs to cover a larger area as part of an expansion, a WiFi survey can help to uncover potential dead spots and help to plan where your access points should be to ensure complete coverage.
2
Having performance troubles
If you’ve noticed a drop in your connectivity performance, a WiFi survey can help highlight trouble spots so you know what needs to be done to resolve problems.
3
Software & hardware updates
Ensure your WiFi network can handle increased bandwidth as your business or school upgrades any software and hardware.
4
Growth phases
Adding more capacity and devices to your existing WiFi network can put on a strain on your existing infrastructure. Identify areas for improvement to ensure ongoing performance.
Our WiFi Survey Process
Redway Networks takes a comprehensive, three-step approach to WiFi surveys, starting with a wireless site survey to analyse the radio frequency environment and strategically plan the placement of access points to ensure optimal wireless coverage.
1
Site Assessment
Our engineers conduct an in-depth site visit, using industry-leading tools like Ekahau to measure signal strength, identify dead zones, and map out interference.
2
Analysis & Design
Based on the site assessment, we provide a custom WiFi site survey report that outlines any issues and offers recommendations for optimisation. This includes designing a network tailored to your needs.
3
Implementation
Following the survey, we can implement the optimised design. Our installation services include the set up of your hardware and configuration of the new wireless network. Each device will be tested and full report will be provided.
4
Network Support
We provide three types of proactive network support to ensure your network works at optimum performance with the latest software updates to support business growth.
