Reliable business Wi-Fi starts with understanding the building, the network, and how people will actually use the space. The number of access points is only one part of the equation. Their placement, building materials, interference, device density, available network cabling, and the existing network infrastructure can all affect performance.
Charlotte Data Solutions helps businesses evaluate these factors before recommending a solution. Sometimes the answer is additional access points. Other times, the real problem is placement, configuration, cabling, or the network behind them.
The goal is not to install more Wi-Fi equipment. The goal is to build a wireless network that works reliably throughout your facility.
We have often found that some companies out there install access points with the method of: "lets just put some in the ceiling and see what happens" Then later, the installation does not work as expected. The installer may get blamed, or the brand of wifi units is blamed. The issue however, is how the installation was planned. It does not matter which brand AP you choose to use, or which model of that brand you choose. Rather, it matters that your installation is designed in a software tool, coupled with a site visit before design, and the system in properly commissioned after installation.
Charlottes Data Solutions provides a premier Wi-Fi access point installation service. Office Wi-Fi has a challenge that wired networks don't: your users are constantly moving. Employees carry laptops, phones and other wireless devices between offices, conference rooms and common areas throughout the day.
As users move through a larger facility, their devices need to maintain a reliable connection while transitioning between wireless access points. Providing strong Wi-Fi throughout an office requires more than simply having signal — the network needs to be designed around coverage, capacity and roaming.
Internet speeds available to businesses have changed dramatically. Ten years ago, an office with a 50 or 100 Mbps Internet connection may have been perfectly satisfied with the performance of its wireless network. Today, 1 Gigabit fiber connections are increasingly common, with even faster services available.
The access points that worked well with your old Internet connection may now be the slowest part of the network. Upgrading your Internet service doesn't automatically upgrade your Wi-Fi.
Older access points, switches and network cabling can prevent your wireless devices from taking advantage of the speed you're already paying for.
Having many people connect to your Wi-Fi in a dense area is one thing that can really slow down a network. Wi-Fi access point deployment with a custom installation and thought-out plan, will help your network to be as fast as you need it to be. Some WiFi access point installation companies do not really understand how WiFi changes when many people enter a building. For example, Lets say you have an event center that can hold 2500 people. What that many people in a building does to WiFi, changes how the signal is delivered. Many of these users may have Hotspots turned on, or Bluetooth devices, all can play a part in degrading your WiFi experience. We will check for all these things when we come do a site evaluation of your site.
The cabling that the Access points plug into really does matter. Consider if you plug in a modern AP with WiFi 7 and the building wires are older Cat 5e cables, the dense amount of users connecting to this access point will all funnel down to the slowest link. Your cable speeds.
In the early 2000's technologies and internet speeds seemed to change very rapidly. However, for much of the next 15 years, technology slowly progressed. Now in the 2025-present time, the speed of WiFi and the wide availability of multiple Gigabit Fiber internet connections, has made a high-performing WiFi network Critical. Most of your office users do not want to be tied down to Ethernet cabling. But the more users on WiFi the more complicated the network gets.
