Advanced Ekahau Wireless Survey: Major Law Firm Deployment
DataMove were recently instructed to carry out comprehensive Ekahau Wireless surveys across 28 floors of a new build fit out for a major worldwide law firm, utilising the industry-leading Ekahau AI Pro solution with Sidekick 2 survey hardware.
Technical Implementation
Having already installed and configured over £6m worth of enterprise-grade Cisco connectivity infrastructure, including strategic access point deployment, our certified wireless engineers conducted the critical final verification phase. This process validated that client-specified access point locations would deliver optimal RF coverage across entire floor areas while meeting stringent security and performance requirements for the legal environment.
Trusted by 40% of Fortune 500 companies, Ekahau provided the ideal solution for this deployment. Our technical team employed active and passive survey methodologies, collecting comprehensive data on signal strength, coverage, interference patterns, and network capacity across all critical parameters.
Professional Survey Methodology
Our discreet survey teams operated with minimal disruption to ongoing activities, conducting assessments with methodical precision in the sensitive corporate environment. Using the Sidekick 2’s dual Wi-Fi radio configuration, engineers scanned comprehensively across 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands with 8-hour battery life ensuring continuous operation.
The team maintained complete discretion while operating unobtrusively within the active environment, preserving sensitive client information and operational security protocols throughout the assessment process.
Survey Results and Analysis
Due to construction delays, some floors remained incomplete during initial surveys; however, comprehensive reports generated through Ekahau AI Pro’s advanced 3D capacity and coverage estimation capabilities delivered highly promising results. These analyses showcased exemplary collaboration from initial placement design through final validation surveys.
Ekahau AI Survey Pro’s map visualisation capabilities enabled detailed predictive planning off-site before on-site validation. The resulting heatmaps and reports provided actionable insights and performance guarantees for the critical wireless infrastructure investment.
Future Validation
Further targeted surveys are scheduled for two floors once construction completes, as these contain specialised heavy-duty interior installations which may impact RF propagation characteristics. Additional validation will ensure consistent coverage performance across these challenging environments.
This deployment demonstrated the exceptional capabilities of DataMove’s team combined with the Ekahau AI Pro solution, ensuring exemplary wireless connectivity across all operational sites. Our professional wireless surveys provide comprehensive facility assessment, coverage optimization, and interference analysis, delivering technical excellence for mission-critical legal operations.
