If your business depends on fast, stable and secure wireless connectivity, guesswork is not an option. At Choice Networks, we deliver professional Ekahau WiFi surveys to design, validate and optimise wireless networks with precision.
Whether you are planning a new installation, upgrading to WiFi 6 or WiFi 7, or troubleshooting ongoing issues, an Ekahau wireless site survey provides the detailed insight needed to get your network right the first time.
What Is An Ekahau WiFi Survey?
An Ekahau WiFi survey is a professional wireless site survey carried out using Ekahau’s advanced WiFi planning and analysis tools. Ekahau is widely recognised as the industry standard for enterprise wireless network design, optimisation and troubleshooting.
The Ekahau toolkit combines powerful software and specialist measurement hardware to collect highly accurate WiFi data, including signal strength, interference, coverage quality and channel performance. As Ekahau describes, advanced RF modelling captures how WiFi signals behave in real environments, reducing design errors compared to conventional planning methods.
In practical terms, this means your network is designed and validated based on real data, not assumptions.
Why Your Business Needs A Professional WiFi Survey
Modern business WiFi must support:
• Cloud applications
• VoIP and video conferencing
• Guest networks
• Mobile devices and laptops
• IoT and smart building systems
• High density user environments
Poor wireless design can lead to dead zones, dropped connections, slow speeds and security vulnerabilities. A professional Ekahau WiFi survey ensures:
• Complete coverage across your premises
• Correct access point placement
• Reduced co-channel and adjacent channel interference
• Capacity planning for the number of users and devices
• Optimised performance across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands
At Choice Networks, we use Ekahau surveys to remove uncertainty and deliver predictable, measurable wireless performance.
Types of Ekahau WiFi Surveys
Predictive WiFi Survey
A predictive survey is carried out before installation. Using detailed floor plans and RF modelling, we simulate how WiFi signals will behave in your environment and determine the optimal number and placement of access points.
This is ideal for:
• New office builds
• Warehouse and industrial spaces
• Schools and healthcare environments
• Refurbishments and relocations
Validation WiFi Survey
After installation, we perform a validation survey to confirm that the network performs as designed. We walk the site collecting live data to produce detailed WiFi heat maps showing signal strength, signal-to-noise ratio, data rates and coverage quality.
This ensures the network meets agreed performance standards.
Troubleshooting WiFi Survey
If your business is experiencing dropped connections, inconsistent speeds or roaming issues, an Ekahau troubleshooting survey allows us to identify the root cause quickly.
We analyse:
• Interference sources
• Coverage gaps
• Channel overlap
• Overloaded access points
• Environmental changes affecting signal propagation
From there, we provide clear recommendations to resolve the issue efficiently.
Following your Ekahau WiFi survey, Choice Networks provides:
• Detailed WiFi heat maps
• Signal strength and coverage analysis
• Channel and interference analysis
• Capacity assessment
• Access point placement recommendations
• Clear technical report with actionable improvements
Our reports are suitable for internal IT teams, facilities managers and project stakeholders who require accurate, evidence-based information.
Ekahau Surveys For High Performance Environments
Ekahau tools are designed for high accuracy data collection and enterprise-grade analysis which makes them particularly valuable in:
• Multi-floor office buildings
• Manufacturing and warehouse sites
• Retail environments
• Education campuses
• Healthcare facilities
• Large residential developments
If your organisation relies on wireless connectivity for operational continuity, a professional WiFi survey is a critical investment.
Why Choose Choice Networks?
Choice Networks combines technical expertise with practical business understanding. We do not simply produce heat maps. We design wireless networks around how your organisation actually works.
Our approach includes:
• Clear scoping of user density and device requirements
• Alignment with your existing network infrastructure
• Security considerations
• Future scalability for growth and new technologies
• Ongoing optimisation support
We ensure your wireless network is reliable, scalable and ready for future demands.
We can carry out a professional Ekahau WiFi Survey for your business.
Contact usFrequently Asked Questions About Ekahau WiFi Surveys
What Is The Difference Between A WiFi Survey And A WiFi Speed Test?
A WiFi speed test measures throughput at a single point in time. An Ekahau WiFi survey analyses coverage, interference, channel performance, roaming behaviour and capacity across the site, so you can make evidence based improvements.
How Long Does An Ekahau WiFi Survey Take?
The time depends on the size and complexity of your site. A small office may take a few hours, while larger multi floor buildings or warehouses can take longer. Choice Networks will confirm timings during scoping.
Do I Need A Survey If I Am Installing New Access Points?
Yes, placement matters. A predictive Ekahau survey helps determine the right locations and quantity of access points before installation, which reduces the risk of dead zones and rework.
Can You Survey Existing WiFi Installed By Another Provider?
Yes. Choice Networks can run validation or troubleshooting surveys on existing networks to identify coverage gaps, interference, capacity issues and configuration improvements.
Will An Ekahau Survey Help With WiFi 6 Or WiFi 7 Upgrades?
Yes. Ekahau surveys can support upgrade planning and verification across modern WiFi bands, helping you design for coverage, capacity and performance in your real environment.
Do You Provide WiFi Heat Maps?
Yes. WiFi heat maps are a standard deliverable from an Ekahau survey and can show metrics such as signal strength and coverage quality across your premises.
