Businesses across the country are looking for ways to improve the strength and security of their company network. However, before upgrading or installing a wireless network, a professional Wi-Fi survey should always be conducted.
The Touch Blue team can manage this process for companies. As an expert provider of end-to-end Wi-Fi survey, design, installation and optimisation services, we know what to look for to ensure a new wireless network ticks all the boxes.

What is a Wi-Fi Survey?
Before installing wireless internet, it’s essential to check if the area has suitable network coverage. Without this, even the best Wi-Fi won’t deliver a good service.
A Wi-Fi survey assesses a building’s suitability for a new wireless network. During the assessment, our team check the following:
- Building layout
- Construction materials
- Signal strength
- Existing interference
- Device density
- User requirements
By analysing each of these factors, we can determine the best type of Wi-Fi configuration for a company. The outcome is a bespoke wireless design tailored to the premises. This ensures everything, from installation to long-term usability, will always run smoothly.
Why Businesses Need a Wi-Fi Survey
As well as checking the actual building and location for coverage, there are other reasons why Wi-Fi surveys are non-negotiable.
Being able to install a wireless network that accounts for dead spots will result in a faster and more reliable internet setup. Another benefit is stronger user experience, with teams being fully connected at all times with colleagues and customers. The increased network reliability that is achieved thanks to a Wi-Fi survey before installation also aids future-proofing and company scaling. Finally, unnecessary hardware costs are eliminated as everything is instead cloud-managed.
What Industries Can Best Benefit From Wi-Fi Surveys?
Any business that needs reliable internet will benefit from a Wi-Fi survey. Downtime in a network will result in lost money, frustrated teams, and costly fixes. Instead, we guarantee that a wide range of sectors are kept fully functional as their networks are tailored to their needs.
For example, we have experience of managing Wi-Fi surveys for offices, retail, warehouses, education, healthcare, hospitality, and industrial environments. No matter your size or spec, we can assess Wi-Fi surveys to ensure uninterrupted setups from day one.
From Survey to Installation: Touch Blue’s Process
Another benefit of booking a Wi-Fi survey is that the simple process doesn’t delay installation. In fact, our 6-step service is quick and efficient.
- Site assessment – A member of our team will visit your premises at a time that suits you to carry out the survey. We will bring all equipment and work quickly so as not to interrupt daily operations.
- Signal analysis – The first stage of testing is looking at signals available around the building.
- Capacity planning – With the results of our signal testing, we can assess what capacity the network will need to cover based on team needs and connectivity options.
- Wi-Fi design – After the visit, we design a bespoke network tailored to each site.
- Professional installation and configuration – Our in-house team can also attend to complete installation and network configuration. This step involves fitting access points, routers, and switches on-site.
- Testing and optimisation – To ensure everything is in full working order, we manage full testing. If any issues are highlighted, we will provide a complete resolution.
