Enterprise Wi-Fi.

Coverage you can measure, not just claim.

Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 6E enterprise wireless — Cisco, Aruba, Juniper Mist, Netgear — site-surveyed to the building's actual cell-edge SNR.

Enterprise Wi-Fi — premium installation context

/ The discipline, in detail

How we approach enterprise wi-fi.

An access point's catalogue square-footage and a real building's coverage map are unrelated documents. We site-survey every deployment with Ekahau or AirMagnet, model the building's RF before the first AP is mounted, and place hardware to the actual cell-edge SNR your devices need. Roaming is tuned, channel plans are documented, and the controller is configured to the security and segmentation policy the organisation actually has — not the one pasted from a default template.

On record

Every enterprise wi-fi engagement is documented end-to-end — design, programming, commissioning, calibration — and handed over with the files our successors would need if we were never to return.

/ Frequently asked

Enterprise Wi-Fi — what buyers ask first.

How many access points does a 10,000 sq ft office need?

A 10,000 sq ft office typically needs 6–14 access points depending on wall density, ceiling height and concurrent users — predicted in Ekahau and validated on site. Between 6 and 14 depending on the wall density, ceiling height and the number of concurrent users per square foot. We do not estimate — we predict in Ekahau against the floor plan and validate on site.

How do you design a Wi-Fi network properly?

Through a predictive site survey using the actual building floor plans, then a post-install validation survey with a calibrated Wi-Fi analyser at every workstation. Access points are sited to actual cell-edge SNR, not to access-point catalogue square-footage. This is the single most important design decision and the one most often shortcut.

How many access points does a typical office floor need?

Roughly 1 AP per 1,500–2,500 sqft for office work, 1 per 800–1,200 sqft for high-density (boardrooms, classrooms, conference auditoria), 1 per 3,000–4,000 sqft for warehouse-low-density. The site survey adjusts these benchmarks to the actual building.

Aruba, Cisco or Mist (Juniper) for enterprise Wi-Fi?

Aruba CX and Mist are the two strongest premium choices — Mist's AI-driven optimisation is genuinely useful for large deployments; Aruba's policy-driven security is unmatched. Cisco Catalyst is the safe enterprise default. We deploy all three.

Should guest Wi-Fi be on the same APs as staff Wi-Fi?

Yes, but on separate SSIDs with VLAN-isolated traffic and a captive portal for guest. Multi-SSID on the same AP hardware is standard; running separate AP hardware for guest is a waste of capital that does not improve security beyond what proper VLAN segmentation already delivers.

How do you handle Wi-Fi roaming for mobile-heavy environments?

Through 802.11k, 802.11r and 802.11v fast-roaming features tuned in the controller. For voice-over-Wi-Fi (VoWiFi) and real-time location services, we tune RF coverage to ensure -65 dBm at every position so handoff doesn't drop calls. Hospital and warehouse deployments need this discipline; office deployments can be more relaxed.
