Wireless AP Survey & Install – Scotland

Overview

Sunspeed was engaged by a managed services provider to install 200 access points across some of the UK’s largest theatres. This project included a full Wi-Fi survey, structured cabling installation, and AP mounting. Given the historical nature of these Grade I & II listed buildings, additional planning and design considerations were required to ensure minimal disruption while optimising cabling routes. At one site, we conducted an active Wireless RF Assessment to evaluate existing RF conditions, identify potential wireless network issues, and recommend remediation strategies. Using Ekahau Site Survey software, we created a 3D model of the building to map wireless coverage accurately. An Ekahau Sidekick was deployed to assess 802.11 and RF conditions, with a laser measurement tool used for precise scaling. A complete hybrid survey was performed to capture the as-is state of the wireless network, ensuring optimal AP placement and performance.

THE PROJECT

AP-on-a-Stick

We conducted a live survey across the sites to gather data to plan optimal access point placement.

Network Design

Our team supported the customer to develop the configuration and placement of access points throughout their building.

AP Installation

We managed the installation of APs, including in difficult raised locations including theatre spaces.

Structured Cabling

Sunspeed managed the routing and containment of structured cabling.

Spotlight: Wi-fi Survey & Install
Our comprehensive Wi-Fi services facilitates the planning and deployment of new or renewed wireless network solutions that provide robust and strong internet access. We can deploy predictive Wi-Fi surveys to remotely model your wireless environment and capture the data to plan and design a new Wi-Fi network. Once the design is drafted, our AP on a Stick (APoS) service assesses signal behavior and detects any sources of interference. Sunspeed will also install the Access Points and manage the installation of any structured cabling.

"The client also stated that the install, device positioning and implementation was the best he has ever seen put out in production from rolling out their solutions"
