What is a WiFi Heatmap?

A Wi-Fi heatmap is a colour-coded two-dimensional representation of the strength of your wireless signal throughout a physical area, overlaid on a floor plan of your building. Heatmaps give you a quick and easy-to-read view of how your WiFi is doing at any given time, in all areas of your warehouse, office complex, or conference facility.

In a traffic light-coloured range, the heatmap displays strong and weak signal coverage areas, green for optimal connectivity, and red for dead zones or poor coverage. This type of graphical data enables our engineers to pinpoint performance problems at a glance, such as signal dropouts, interference, or access points that are poorly located.

There could be many reasons for a slow wireless network, but a WiFi heatmap is the most effective diagnostic tool for identifying the issue. As part of a complete WiFi health check or WiFi survey, our professionals employ heatmapping in order to diagnose the cause and offer customised solutions. Reach out to our team today for high-quality troubleshooting services if you have ongoing network problems and get your network up to speed again.

WiFi Heatmap Tools and Software

At Performance Networks, we employ cutting-edge WiFi heatmapping technology and methodology to provide a comprehensive analysis of your wireless network. Our sophisticated tools enable us to create detailed heatmaps that give real-time visibility of signal coverage, performance, and interference throughout your site.

By superimposing heatmaps over your floor plan, or even seeing them on sites such as Google Earth, we can easily see where you have areas of good and bad coverage zones, channel overlap, signal-to-noise ratio, and areas of congestion. Our heatmapping tool also features automatic access point detection, channel utilisation monitoring, and wireless signal interference detection, making it simple for us to identify problem spots and make intelligent recommendations for improvement.

Before WiFi installation or optimisation, our experts conduct thorough site surveys to design customised solutions tailored to your needs, considering building layout, user density, and potential interference sources for optimal signal coverage and performance.

WiFi Mapping

To truly understand and optimise your network capabilities, using the best WiFi heatmapping software is crucial, which often comes with high costs and a steep learning curve. Performance Networks can help. Our experts use advanced WiFi heatmapping tools to visualise and analyse your network’s performance. These tools generate easy-to-read images displaying signal strengths and weaknesses, guiding our engineers to deliver exceptional results.

With this data, our technicians design and install new networks or improve existing ones, strategically positioning access points for optimal coverage. Trust Performance Networks to enhance your internet experience using the best WiFi heatmap software.

How to Conduct a WiFi Site Survey

A professional WiFi site survey is a systematic process that aims to optimise both the current performance and the future scalability of your wireless network. It starts with an on-site walk-through with heatmapping software and data collection tools to examine the environment in real-time. Your floor plan is imported and modelled to properly replicate the space, allowing our engineers to visualise how signal strength, coverage, and interference will function within it. Weak spots and overlapping access points are also revealed in the survey, which represent opportunity areas for optimisation. The result is a comprehensive report and map of coverage, along with expert recommendations on how to optimise performance, eliminate dead zones, and ensure scalable and reliable connectivity most appropriate to your requirements.

Performance Networks’ WiFi Heatmap Services

Here at Performance Networks, our WiFi heatmap solutions are courtesy of expert engineers who understand the unique demands of diverse working environments. Whether you’re deploying a new network or are seeking to optimize one you already operate, we provide comprehensive WiFi site surveys complemented by massive heatmap reporting and overlays. Our reports allow us to provide precise recommendations for access point placement, network setup, and potential upgrades—ensuring strong, reliable coverage throughout your facility. Beyond setup, we offer ongoing support to monitor and maintain peak network performance, and can readily integrate our findings into broader connectivity solutions for end-to-end network management.

What Our Customers Are Saying

"We were grateful that Performance Networks pulled out all the stops to deliver a project within a very tight timescale and to budget. From the planning to the implementation, the Performance Network team worked closely with the BISC IT team, ensuring what was provided best suited the BISC’s needs. And even when things did not go to plan, the Performance Networks team adapted quickly to the new situation and came up with alternative approaches which delivered the same objectives to the same cost. The rural location and older buildings with their associated infrastructure make any BISC IT project a challenge, but Performance Networks overcame every obstacle without hesitation, delivered as promised and followed up with post-implementation support which was unfailing. We would happily turn to Performance Networks again for future projects."

Sarah Butler – Librarian and Head of Learning, BISC

"From the first point of contact Performance Networks have been amazing. They are extremely knowledgeable when it comes to networks and WiFi and are able to turn a complex topic into something simple and easy to understand. I can’t recommend them enough to anyone who needs a new network or is experiencing performance or connectivity issues with their existing network."

Steven Bennett, Head of IT, Manchester Central

"Performance Networks’ knowledge and expertise on WiFi solutions were invaluable to us during this huge and complex upscale project, and we are delighted with the work they have completed over the last few months.” “We’re really pleased to have completed this project, which is quite an undertaking and brings the technical infrastructure of our 19th century Palace very much up to speed with modern-day requirements."

Nick Johnson, IT Manager, Alexandra Palace

"Performance Networks resolved a complex ongoing WiFi issue in one visit; they are fast to respond and highly professional. We have since engaged them for further WiFi consultancy and thoroughly recommend their services."

David Jackson, DHL

"WiFi is now only an issue if it’s not available – and these occasions have been very few and far between. Access Points are remotely monitored so that Performance Networks can inform management if there is a problem even before they’re aware. Guests have a support line to call in case of difficulty. Performance Networks has helped Ragdale Hall to update its infrastructure to meet the requirements of the business, which is more and more reliant on technology. Guests and suppliers want instant communication, they need banks to provide immediate authorisations. All of this depends upon a stable platform, with excellent response when issues arise. As with WiFi, Ragdale Hall’s staff are only concerned when the technology gets in the way of providing outstanding customer service. Performance Networks have provided that stability and have been pro-active in ensuring that Ragdale Hall maintains and improves its systems."

Keith Palmer, IT Systems manager Ragdale Hall

"I have worked with several WiFi providers over 15 years at CCT, and Performance Networks are the only one who have truly understood the needs of our organisation. With three large conference centres that experience high guest footfall, our WiFi requirements are significant. Performance Networks have delivered a solution that meets our needs fully. I’ve been really impressed with their service after the installation too. They monitor our entire network and their support is second-to-none, proactively identifying and resolving issues before we’re even aware of them! I’m confident to say that our WiFi is sector-leading, which has a huge impact on guest experience."
