Survey - Wifi
At Tech Network Cabling we carryout WiFi surveys, also known as a wireless site survey, is a test that assesses the performance of a wireless network.
It helps ensure that a network has the desired coverage, data rate, and capacity.
​
What does a WiFi survey include?
-
Coverage: The size of the area covered, and any dead spots or coverage issues
-
Spectrum analysis: A measurement of the strength of wireless coverage in a particular area
-
Network infrastructure: The current network infrastructure, including any security or special requirements
-
Building layout: The construction materials and layout of any buildings where WiFi is needed
-
Interference: Any areas of interference or signal degradation
​​
Why is a WiFi survey important?
​
-
A WiFi survey can help identify potential problems before they arise

It can help ensure that a network has the desired coverage, data rate, and capacity
Installation

Tech Network Cabling undertakes all forms of installing structured cabling which includes laying out a standardised network cable system within a building.
​
This typically includes "horizontal cabling" which runs from the telecommunications room to individual work areas, and "backbone cabling" connecting different equipment rooms and entrance facilities, all following industry standards to ensure compatibility and reliable data transmission across various devices.
​
Key components of structured cabling installation:
​
-
Horizontal Cabling: The cables running from the telecommunications room to individual workstations, including wall outlets and patch cords to connect devices at each end.
-
Backbone Cabling (Vertical Cabling): The cabling that connects different telecommunications rooms, equipment rooms, and entrance facilities within a building, often running vertically through floors.
-
Entrance Facility: The point where external cables enter the building and connect to the internal network.
-
Telecommunications Room (TR): A designated space where cables are organized and connected, serving as a central hub for horizontal cabling.
-
Work Area: The individual workstation where the network cable terminates at a wall outlet.
Installation process:​
​
-
Cable Routing:
-
Run cables through walls, ceilings, and floors using conduits and raceways for protection.
-
Install cable ties to manage cable organisation. ​
Terminating Cables:
-
Connect cables to appropriate outlets in the work area and patch panels in the telecommunications room.
-
Use proper termination techniques to ensure signal integrity.
Patching and Cross-Connecting:
-
Connect devices to the network using patch cords between the patch panel and network devices.
Testing and Certification:
-
Use specialized testing equipment to verify cable performance and ensure compliance with industry standards.
​​
Important considerations:
​
-
Cable type selection:
Choose the appropriate cable type based on network speed requirements (e.g., Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6a, fiber optic).
-
Compliance with standards:
Adhere to industry standards like TIA/EIA guidelines for proper installation practices.
-
Professional installation:
Due to the complexity of structured cabling, all of Tech Network Cabling engineers hold the highest qualifications for the job.
Designing Solutions
Tech Network Cabling will design the cable and or fiber solution, this involves a comprehensive process of identifying network needs, selecting appropriate cable types based on distance, bandwidth requirements, environmental conditions, and then planning the physical infrastructure layout, including fiber routing, equipment selection, and considering future scalability.
All designs adhere to industry standards and best practices for installation and maintenance, key steps include: needs assessment, site surveys, network topology design, cable selection, equipment choice, capacity planning, redundancy considerations, and detailed documentation to ensure a robust and efficient network.

-
-
Network Topology:
-
Star topology: Central hub with connections to individual devices
-
Ring topology: Data flows in a loop with redundancy
-

-
-
Cable Selection:
-
Fiber type (single-mode, multi-mode)
-
Fiber count (number of fibers within a cable)
-
Jacket material (depending on environment, e.g., outdoor, indoor)
-
Bend-insensitive fibers for tight spaces
-
-
Equipment Selection:
-
Optical network units (ONUs)
-
Fiber optic transceivers
-
Splice closures
-
Patch panels
-
Power supplies
-
-
Capacity Planning:
-
Future-proofing by considering potential bandwidth needs
-
