Access points, positioned by survey

WiFi Access Point Installation for strong, even coverage

Ceiling and wall access points powered over a single cable and placed where they give the best coverage, for Wi-Fi that is strong in every room.

The best way to fix Wi-Fi

Access points give full-speed Wi-Fi where you need it

An access point is a small Wi-Fi unit connected to your network by cable. Unlike a wireless extender, it does not lose speed passing the signal on, so it gives full performance wherever it is placed.

We survey the building to decide how many access points are needed and where they should go, then run a Cat6 cable to each position. Power is supplied over the same cable using PoE, so there is no separate plug, and the access points are set up to work as one network.
