Paying your ISP more will not fix badly designed Wi-Fi. A coverage survey measures the signal on site and points to the right fix, which is almost always cheaper.

For decision-makers short on time.
Every video call that drops costs minutes for those on it and credibility with the client on the other end. Multiply that by a whole team and a whole year. In most companies with weak business Wi-Fi, the contracted internet is fine: it is the network inside the office that fails. Measuring the signal on site, in a coverage study, reveals the exact cause and almost always leads to a simpler, cheaper fix than piling up routers.
Recognise your company? Then the problem is indoors, and you have probably already paid for fixes that solved nothing.
Because the bottleneck is not at the building's door; it is in how the signal is distributed. Consumer routers serving dozens of users, badly placed access points, radio channels trampling over each other and building materials that absorb the signal: thick walls, glass, metal shelving.
Paying for more speed on a system like that is accelerating with the handbrake on. And no engineer can guess off the top of their head how the signal behaves in a specific space. It has to be measured.
An engineer walks the premises with measuring instruments and draws the real map of the signal: where it is strong, where it weakens, where there is interference and where it disappears. That map is cross-referenced with how the space is used: where video calls happen, how many people occupy each area, which devices connect.
The output is a concrete diagnosis, with problems, causes and the cost of fixing them. No guesswork, no surplus equipment.
DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting designs and installs the business wireless network solution: professional access points in the right places, which rarely match the old ones, channels tuned so they do not overlap, and separate networks for staff and guests.
In most offices, installation is done in a single day without stopping anyone. From then on, the network can be monitored and managed by DataRoad, as part of our managed IT services.
We measure the signal room by room and deliver the diagnosis with the fixes in order of impact. Requesting the coverage study is the first step; see also our site survey and Wi-Fi optimisation. No-commitment proposal.
