Wireless Survey & Solutions

Accurate RF planning, Wi-Fi heat mapping, and expert wireless network design — delivered by 10,000+ certified engineers across 190+ countries.

What We Do

Enterprise-Grade Wireless Surveys That Remove the Guesswork

A poorly planned wireless network costs more to fix than to do right the first time. IPGlobal's wireless survey and solutions service gives enterprises, system integrators, and managed service providers the accurate, vendor-neutral RF data they need to deploy reliable Wi-Fi — every time.

From predictive models for new builds to post-deployment audits of live networks, our Ekahau and iBwave-certified engineers deliver heat maps, channel plans, and actionable recommendations that map directly to your business outcomes.

Our Services

Full-Spectrum Wireless Survey & Design Services

Predictive RF Site Survey

Pre-deployment AP placement modelling using floor plans and 3D building data. Identify optimal access point locations, coverage zones, and channel plans before a single cable is run.

Active Wi-Fi Site Survey

On-site measurement of live network performance — signal strength, throughput, packet loss, and roaming behaviour — via association to existing access points.

Passive RF Survey

Spectrum scanning without associating to any AP — captures all SSID, RSSI, channel, and noise data across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands for a full RF environment picture.

Post-Deployment Validation

Verify your newly installed wireless network meets design specifications. Compare live survey results against predictive models and certify network readiness before go-live.

Heat Map Reporting

Colour-coded RF heat maps showing coverage, SNR, channel overlap, and data rates — delivered as print-ready PDFs or importable into your WLAN management platform.

Outdoor & Large-Venue Surveys

Stadiums, campuses, warehouses, and open-air sites require specialist RF planning. Our engineers handle complex, multi-zone deployments with GPS-tagged data collection and high-density AP design.

Feature

Network Simulator

Simulate live network performance — throughput, roaming, and client behaviour — before a single AP is installed. Eliminates guesswork from predictive design.

Feature

Automatic Wall Calibration

AI detects wall types and materials from floor plans and sets RF attenuation values automatically — making predictive surveys faster and more accurate than manual calibration.

FAQ

Common Questions About Wireless Surveys

What is a wireless site survey?

A wireless site survey is a systematic assessment of a physical environment to plan, deploy, or validate a Wi-Fi network. It measures signal strength, channel interference, and coverage patterns. IPGlobal engineers use Ekahau and iBwave to produce accurate RF models and actionable heat maps.

What types of wireless surveys do you offer?

IPGlobal offers predictive (pre-deployment) surveys, active on-site surveys, passive RF scans, post-deployment validation surveys, and outdoor/large-venue surveys. Each type targets a different stage of your wireless network lifecycle.

How long does a wireless site survey take?

Duration depends on site size and complexity. A typical 10,000–20,000 sq ft office floor takes 2–4 hours. Large campuses, warehouses, or multi-building sites may take 1–3 days. We provide a timeline estimate during the scoping call.

Can you survey locations outside the UK or USA?

Yes. IPGlobal has 10,000+ certified field engineers across 190+ countries. We can conduct wireless surveys virtually anywhere in the world with consistent methodology and deliverable standards.

What deliverables will I receive?

You receive a full report including RF heat maps (signal strength, SNR, data-rate coverage), channel utilisation analysis, AP placement recommendations, identified interference sources, and a prioritised remediation action plan. All reports are vendor-neutral.

Are your engineers vendor-certified?

Yes. Our wireless engineers hold certifications including Cisco CCNP/CCIE Wireless, Aruba ACCP/ACCX, Juniper Mist, Meraki, and Ekahau Certified Survey Professional (ECSP). We follow vendor-neutral best practices to ensure unbiased recommendations.
