WiFi Network Analysis & Optimization at The Podium, Kuching by HJ Security
HJ Security conducted a comprehensive WiFi network analysis and optimization at The Podium, Kuching. This professional WiFi assessment identified coverage issues, interference sources and performance bottlenecks, followed by targeted improvements to deliver reliable, fast wireless connectivity throughout the building.
What is a WiFi Site Survey?
A WiFi site survey is a professional assessment of wireless network performance throughout a building or area. Using specialized tools, our engineers measure signal strength, channel utilization, interference levels and data throughput at multiple locations to build a complete picture of the network's performance and problem areas.
Issues Identified at The Podium
Coverage Dead Zones
Several areas of the building were experiencing poor or no WiFi coverage. Signal strength measurements revealed these dead zones were caused by thick concrete walls blocking signal propagation from existing access points.
Channel Interference
Multiple access points were operating on the same channel, causing co-channel interference that reduced network capacity and caused intermittent connectivity issues during peak usage periods.
Insufficient Access Point Density
The existing access point count was insufficient for the number of devices and users in the building, causing congestion during busy periods.
Solutions Implemented
Additional Access Points
New Hikvision access points were installed in strategic locations identified by the site survey to eliminate dead zones and provide overlapping coverage throughout the building.
Channel Optimization
Access points were reconfigured to use non-overlapping channels with optimized power levels, eliminating co-channel interference and improving network capacity.
Controller-Based Management
A wireless controller was implemented to centrally manage all access points, enabling seamless roaming between access points and automatic channel optimization.
