Guaranteed Wireless Coverage

Our custom-built school and university WiFi solutions consider everything from your premises size, campus layout, construction and type of devices connecting to the network.

Whether it be high network congestion, building construction or interference which could affect performance, our engineers will take this into account when designing the network.

Our engineering team will design and install a school WiFi network that guarantees coverage to a pre-defined signal level. This will ensure the smallest of devices like phones and even watches have fast, stable connections, whether your students are in a laboratory, classroom or the library.

Bespoke Wireless
Survey

We will arrange for one of our experienced engineers to attend your school or campus, and perform a wireless survey.

This will identify any potential sources of interference and specific venue obstacles which would hinder WiFi coverage at your school. The survey looks at all aspects of the school building or university and incorporates a full spectrum analysis. The engineer will also check the type of internet connection currently used at your school, as this plays a major role in the WiFi experience.

Once the wireless survey is complete the engineer will compile a report with their findings and the required works to provide strong coverage throughout.
