Wi-Fi Planning

Lack of or insufficient Wi-Fi planning poses risks

A lack of or insufficient Wi-Fi planning can result in areas within a building where coverage is poor or even non-existent (keyword: inadequate signal coverage). In high-traffic locations such as school auditoriums, exhibition halls, stadiums, and shopping centers, inadequate capacity planning often leads to network congestion, causing service disruptions.

Additionally, access points are often installed in underutilized or rarely used building areas where they are unnecessary. This leads to wasted financial resources and may raise uncomfortable questions for those responsible. The necessary rework to fix these issues also results in additional costs—something that should be avoided at all costs!

Professional Wi-Fi planning, including precise coverage calculations, ensures a powerful and future-proof network. It also provides decision-makers with a clear overview of the expected costs. Furthermore, it simplifies the tendering process, allowing participating companies to create precise offers, which makes comparing bids significantly easier for project owners.

STF – Your Partner for Wi-Fi Planning

With over 20 years of expertise in radio network, electrical, and supply technology planning, the STF Group is your ideal partner for developing Wi-Fi concepts. During on-site assessments, we first analyze relevant structural details, define potential cable routes, and determine suitable locations for the technical equipment. All gathered information is then consolidated into a comprehensive, cross-trade building plan.

The newly created plans are subsequently transferred by STF Group’s radio network planners into a 3D model, which is essential for calculating radio coverage. This model includes all architectural and radio-technical characteristics. Once the coverage calculation for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks is completed, the access points and system technology can be planned and virtually wired.

Special areas with high user density are given particular attention, ensuring the number of access points is tailored to demand. Based on the radio-technical and structural concept planning, we provide a detailed equipment list covering all necessary technical and structural components, along with a practical concept for passive network cabling.
