WiFi & Wireless Assessment

Comprehensive wireless site survey, coverage and capacity testing, interference analysis and WiFi quality scoring to ensure reliable wireless connectivity.

Overview

WiFi and wireless assessment evaluates wireless network coverage, capacity, performance and interference. We provide comprehensive wireless site surveys and quality scoring.

Testing Areas

  • Wireless Site Survey: Comprehensive site survey to map coverage, signal strength and access point placement.
  • Coverage Testing: Assessment of wireless coverage, dead zones and coverage gaps.
  • Capacity Testing: Evaluation of wireless capacity, concurrent user support and bandwidth availability.
  • Interference Analysis: Identification of RF interference sources, channel conflicts and interference mitigation.
  • WiFi Performance Testing: Measurement of WiFi throughput, latency and connection quality.
  • WiFi Quality Scoring: Overall assessment of WiFi quality, reliability and user experience.

Scoring Output

  • WiFi Quality Score (0–100) — Overall wireless network quality rating
  • Coverage Score — Wireless coverage and signal strength assessment
  • Capacity Rating — Wireless capacity and user support assessment
  • Performance Score — WiFi performance and throughput rating
  • Interference Rating — RF interference and channel quality assessment
  • Benchmark Comparison — Industry and peer comparison

Prepare Your Network for Ookla Speedtest Certified™

Ookla launched Speedtest Certified as a global standard for WiFi and network validation. The certification evaluates RF quality, network configuration, security, performance metrics (speed, latency, jitter) and ISP backhaul quality in partnership with the Wireless Broadband Alliance.

Only networks meeting strict performance thresholds — benchmarked against Fortitude Nicsa Global standards — receive the Speedtest Certified badge. Most enterprise networks fail on their first attempt due to gaps in RF design, capacity planning or security configuration.

We help organizations prepare for Ookla Speedtest Certified WiFi validation by ensuring your network meets global performance benchmarks. Our assessment methodology aligns with the key parameters evaluated during certification, including RF design, throughput, latency and user experience. Using Ekahau-based surveys and real-world testing, we identify gaps before official certification.

We bridge the gap between wireless design (Ekahau) and real-world performance validation (Ookla Speedtest Certified).

What We Validate Before Certification

  • RF Coverage & Signal Quality: Comprehensive heat mapping and signal strength analysis across all areas of your facility.
  • Capacity & User Density Handling: Stress testing to validate concurrent user support under real-world conditions.
  • Throughput & Application Performance: Speed, latency and jitter measurements across all network zones.
  • Roaming & Latency: Seamless roaming validation between access points with latency benchmarking.
  • Network Configuration & Security: SSID architecture, VLAN segmentation, encryption standards and access control review.
  • ISP Backhaul Quality: Upstream bandwidth, redundancy and failover assessment.
  • Channel Planning & Interference: Co-channel and adjacent-channel interference analysis with optimization recommendations.

Why Networks Fail Certification

  • Poor RF Design: Access points placed without proper predictive modeling or site survey data.
  • Capacity Gaps: Networks designed for coverage but not for the actual number of concurrent devices.
  • Interference Issues: Unresolved co-channel interference, rogue APs or environmental RF noise.
  • Security Misconfiguration: Open networks, weak encryption or missing network segmentation.
  • ISP Backhaul Inadequacy: Insufficient upstream bandwidth to support validated throughput targets.

Industries We Serve

  • Hotels & Hospitality: Guest WiFi experience directly impacts reviews, loyalty and brand reputation.
  • Corporate Offices: Reliable WiFi is critical for video conferencing, cloud applications and hybrid work.
  • Campuses & Universities: Thousands of concurrent devices across diverse building types and outdoor areas.
  • Warehouses & Logistics: Mission-critical connectivity for barcode scanners, WMS and real-time tracking.
  • Airports & Public Venues: High-density environments with demanding performance and security requirements.
  • Co-working Spaces: Multi-tenant environments requiring isolation, capacity and consistent performance.

Common Challenges

Issues organizations face that drive the need for independent assessment

Coverage Dead Zones

Areas with poor or no WiFi signal that frustrate users and reduce productivity, especially in meeting rooms, corners and outdoor spaces.

Capacity Bottlenecks

Network slows down when many users connect simultaneously — common in conference rooms, auditoriums and high-density office areas.

Interference and Channel Congestion

Co-channel interference from neighbouring APs, Bluetooth devices and microwave ovens degrades WiFi performance.

Roaming Problems

Devices lose connectivity or experience drops when moving between access points, causing video call drops and application disconnects.

No Baseline Data

IT teams manage WiFi reactively without survey data — they do not know actual coverage, capacity or performance across the facility.

Certification Readiness

Networks are not prepared for Ookla Speedtest Certified or similar validation because performance gaps are undiagnosed.

Frequently Asked Questions

We use Ekahau for professional site surveys — the industry standard for enterprise WiFi design and validation. We also use spectrum analysers, protocol analysers and real-world device testing across multiple platforms.
Ookla Speedtest Certified is a global WiFi validation standard that evaluates network performance against strict benchmarks for speed, latency, jitter and coverage. Networks meeting the thresholds receive a certified badge.
A single-floor assessment typically takes 1-2 days. Multi-floor or campus assessments take 3-10 days depending on size. Results and reports are delivered within a week of on-site work.
Yes. We assess outdoor WiFi for campuses, warehouses, parking areas and outdoor event spaces using the same professional survey methodology.
We provide detailed remediation recommendations including AP placement, channel plans, configuration settings and hardware specifications. We can also validate remediation through a post-improvement survey.
