Planning Wi-Fi Around Your Building
Wired Connections or Wireless Mesh?
A wired connection is preferred where practical. Compatible mesh can help where cabling is difficult; performance depends on the wireless links.
Placement and Interference
Walls, floors, shelving, other networks and device capabilities affect performance. Place equipment around where Wi-Fi is used.
Wi-Fi Access Points and Network Options
Select equipment around coverage, devices and the existing network. Confirm capabilities and availability in the quote.
Indoor Access Points
Ceiling or wall equipment can serve rooms and work areas. Speed depends on equipment, devices and connections.
Outdoor Access Points
Outdoor devices must suit their mounting location; weather ratings vary by model.
Multiple Access Points
Multiple devices may help larger buildings. Roaming also depends on client devices and system configuration.
Data Cabling and Power
Discuss cable routes, switches and compatible power, including PoE where supported.
Guest and Staff Networks
Supported equipment can separate guest and staff traffic. Agree who manages settings.
Connected Security Equipment
Discuss connectivity for compatible cameras and intercoms; not every security device uses Wi-Fi.
How Many Access Points Are Needed?
Share layout, floors, problem areas, devices and existing router or switch details.
Wi-Fi for Different Properties

What Affects Wi-Fi Installation Costs?
Building Layout
Device count, equipment, distances, mounting access and network changes affect cost. Walls and floors influence placement and work.
Switches, Power and Backup
Confirm switches and power. Keeping Wi-Fi active also needs power for other network equipment.
Cable Routes
Share ceiling and conduit access and restrictions on drilling or visible routes.
Existing Network and Interference
The router, nearby networks and internet service affect results; access points do not increase the contracted internet speed.
Wi-Fi provides networking; physical access control manages doors and gates. Speed, coverage and outage runtime depend on the site and equipment.
