Business wifi: measure first, then mount.

Poor wifi is rarely a question of too little signal. Usually one box is hanging in the wrong place.

Short answer

Business wifi is a wireless network with several access points that work together, so you stay connected as you walk through the building, with separate networks for staff, guests and devices. Jevana first measures where coverage and capacity are needed, places the access points and then manages them centrally. Existing equipment, such as a Ubiquiti UniFi network, we also take over.

How we install wifi

  1. 01

    Measure

    We walk the building with measuring equipment. Walls, glass and shelving matter more than distance.

  2. 02

    Draw

    Where the access points go, and how many people sit in each room.

  3. 03

    Cable

    Every access point gets a network cable. Daisy-chaining wirelessly halves the speed.

  4. 04

    Configure

    Networks for office, guests and devices. Channels chosen so they do not interfere.

  5. 05

    Measure again

    The same round once more. You get the result on the floor plan.

Three networks, one set of boxes

Office

  • Logging in per person, not with one shared password
  • Access to printers and files
  • Lapses by itself when someone leaves

Guests

  • Internet only, nothing from the office network
  • A password you can change every week
  • Capped, so one guest cannot fill the connection

Devices

  • Cameras, screens, the coffee machine
  • Can reach the internet, not your computers
  • Every device known, unknown ones refused

When this comes up

  • Every video call drops in the meeting room
  • Three loose range extenders from the DIY shop hang around, each with its own network name
  • The wifi password is on a note at reception and has not changed in five years
  • The company is moving to a building with concrete floors

Questions

How many access points do I need?

That depends on the building and the number of simultaneous users, not just the floor area. An open-plan office with forty people needs more capacity than a warehouse of the same size. Concrete walls, coated glass and metal shelving block signal. That is why we measure first. An estimate based on square metres is rarely right.

How do you separate guests from the business network?

With a separate guest network that only gives access to the internet. The same access points broadcast several networks, and the firewall makes sure traffic from the guest network does not reach the office's computers, printers and servers. A visitor with an infected laptop can then touch nothing. You can change the guest password as often as you like.

Do you measure on site first?

Yes, for any building bigger than a single room. We walk through the building, measure the existing coverage and the interference from networks nearby, and note the places where many people work at once. From that we make a floor plan with the positions for the access points. After installing, we measure again.

Can you take over an existing UniFi network?

Yes. If Ubiquiti access points already hang there, we check whether they are well placed and well configured. Often the hardware is fine and the problem lies in the placement, the channels or a management environment nobody updates any more. We take over the management, update the software and replace only what is out of date.
