// The Problem
Why Might Your Wi-Fi be Failing?
Is your organisation suffering from dropped connections, dead zones, or authentication headaches? Poorly planned wireless networks lead to more than just frustration; they result in lost productivity and increased strain on your IT staff.
A professional wireless network survey identifies and avoids potential pitfalls in RF distribution, ensuring a smooth installation that saves your organisation time and money.

Wi-Fi Surveys
KHIPU specialises in four distinct types of wireless site and RF surveys to meet the needs of any infrastructure lifecycle:
- Predictive (Estimated) Site Surveys
Ideal for new builds. Using detailed site plans and industry-leading Ekahau software, we simulate RF behaviour to determine hardware requirements and optimal access point placement without an onsite visit. - Onsite Wi-Fi RF Surveys
The most accurate planning method. Our engineers use advanced technology to identify signal strength variables, coverage gaps, and real-world RF interference.
- Post-Installation (Validation) Surveys
Conducted after deployment to verify that the network functions exactly as specified, catching costly issues before they impact your operations. - Wi-Fi Health Checks (RF Audit)
For existing networks underperforming. We seek out and mitigate sources of interference and identify security concerns like ‘open’ or loosely protected networks.
// Advanced Technology
Ekahau & Spectrum Analysis.
We use industry-leading Ekahau survey software to ensure the most accurate analysis of indoor and outdoor enterprise wireless networks.
Minimise Interference
Eliminate costly RF interference before it affects your users.
Simulated Scenarios
We simulate unforeseen worst-case scenarios to ensure the final LAN design performs under pressure.
Detailed Documentation
Every survey concludes with a comprehensive report including heatmaps, hardware placement recommendations, and expert advice.

Wi-Fi Site Survey FAQs.
Why is a wireless site survey necessary before installation? More
A wireless Wi-Fi site survey provides a vital blueprint for network integration. It allows engineers to map desired coverage, identify potential sources of interference, and determine the exact number and location of access points required, preventing costly performance issues later.
What is the difference between a predictive and an onsite Wi-Fi survey? More
A predictive site survey is a software-based simulation using site plans to estimate RF behaviour. An onsite wireless survey involves a physical visit where an engineer uses specialized equipment to measure real-world signal strength and interference, providing the highest level of accuracy.
What kind of report do I receive after a Wi-Fi health check? More
You receive a detailed post-survey report that includes heatmaps of your current coverage, identification of interference sources, and expert recommendations for hardware placement or configuration changes to mitigate performance issues.
How long does an onsite wireless network survey take? More
The duration depends on the size and layout of the building. KHIPU provides onsite surveys at a daily rate, using software to maximise efficiency and minimise the need for multiple site visits.
Can a Wi-Fi survey help improve network security? More
Yes. A KHIPU Wi-Fi Health Check specifically highlights network security concerns, such as open networks or those using outdated, loosely protected protocols like WEP, helping you secure your enterprise WLAN.
