Wi-Fi coverage
ASCEND offers customized WLAN for an all-round good experience. With professional WLAN coverage, you get a perfectly adapted network.
How does Wi-Fi coverage help?
Good connectivity is a prerequisite nowadays
The demands on modern Wi-Fi networks have risen sharply. Coverage is a crucial step towards a high-performance WLAN. Plan your network professionally with ASCEND certified survey engineers.
Acting professionally and future-oriented
Builders and architects never leave the planning for water and electrical connections to the gut feeling of others. If you act just as professionally, sustainably and future-oriented with your network structure – Ascend will be happy to support you in this project.
Wi-Fi coverage with tried-and-tested tools
ASCEND relies on Ekahau software - our technicians are certified accordingly.
Planned illumination prevents unpleasant surprises
Well-planned WLAN coverage saves a lot of trouble. Dissatisfied tenants/users, expensive repairs and having to replace the hardware again are just some of the possible consequences.
This costs time, money and nerves. With planned WLAN coverage, there are no such nasty surprises, because you know the line capacity of your infrastructure and do not overload it.
4 steps to your tailor-made Wi-Fi
Cleanly planned, carefully checked and precisely implemented
The first meeting is about planning the requirements for your Wi-Fi network and creating a corresponding profile. We can support you with our experience and work with you to develop the best approach.
Central questions here can be, for example:
- What processes do you want to handle via Wi-Fi?
- What amount of data should the WLAN be able to provide?
- What obstacles or disruptive factors are already known?
- How many devices should be connected?
- What devices are used?
The simulation focuses on your location. On the basis of construction plans, CAD graphics or a site inspection, we look at the conditions and structure of the building.
Important information for a simulation:
- What material is the masonry made of?
- How thick are ceilings and walls?
- Where are the work areas?
- What are the known sources of interference in the preliminary discussions?
The simulation must now pass in practice and will be checked on site. If there are any discrepancies between simulation and reality, changes will be made again to ensure that your Wi-Fi needs are covered.
As soon as the measurements in the building are completed to your satisfaction, you will know how well the Wi-Fi coverage and thus the Wi-Fi itself will work.
With illumination, we check the simulation
- Is the number of access points correct?
- How is the use of the frequencies?
- Do other configurations need to be optimized?
The entire illumination will be handed over to you in written documentation. This gives you a complete overview of your WLAN infrastructure. Even if your requirements change in the future, the documentation provides you with an optimal basis for adapting configurations or making optimizations.

What does WLAN coverage look like?
If you only pay attention to the signal strength, you are thinking too short-sightedly
The signal strength is usually the most prominent measured value of a WLAN coverage. However, it should not be the sole focus.
Smooth Wi-Fi communication is comparable to a conversation
Whether you understand your interlocutor in a conversation depends not only on his volume. The environment also plays an important role. Next to a noisy construction site, you can understand each other badly, even if you are already yelling. Likewise, the signal strength of the access point is not the only decisive factor. How can this image be transferred to Wi-Fi communication?
Here, too, it depends on existing disruptive factors in the environment. The signal-to-noise ratio is just as important as the number of access points in the same frequency range and the desired capacity.
Choosing the right access points – planning required
Not every WLAN coverage can be achieved with every access point. Some access points cannot handle certain user densities.
A simple example:
They want to equip a hall with WLAN and are expecting around 1000 people. All those present should be able to vote at the same time. The selected access points serve a maximum of 50 devices. Aha, you think. "Then I need at least 20 of them." Why isn't it that simple? The answer has to do with channel overlap.
Channel overlap
In the 2.4GHz range, you can only operate a maximum of 4 frequencies side by side without interference. This means that the access points interfere with each other at a certain point. In the 5GHz range, the situation is better, as more frequencies are usually available. As part of our WLAN coverage, we determine the optimum selection of access points and their positions for you.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Broadcast time usage
Only one client can transmit per channel at a time. It takes time for data to be transferred from different clients. At some point, a channel or the airtime on this channel is exhausted. When planning, we take into account how high the occupancy rate will be. If the airtime usage comes close to 100%, the setup must be adjusted. For example, it may be necessary to select other channels or to use more or better access points. Our engineers weigh all the pros and cons of possible customizations to meet network requirements.
Wi-Fi coverage
Briefly defined
In the case of Wi-Fi coverage, a technician measures the most important parameters of a Wi-Fi network with the aim of optimizing the network. Of central importance is the measurement of signal strength. However, the measurement also makes it possible to find sources of interference and to plan the necessary access points. In addition, WLAN coverage is also used to check the reliability of a WLAN simulation or WLAN planning of new projects.
