Your Wi-Fi is installed. Something isn't right. Here's how you find out what.

Independent Wi-Fi audit and RF site survey for existing wireless networks. Vendor-neutral findings report. Evidence you can act on — or escalate with. No installation engagement required.

The Audit Case

When your wireless is already installed and nobody can explain why it's failing.

Your network is live. Complaints are coming in. Vendors are pointing at each other. IT is being blamed for a problem that nobody has actually measured. That's the moment an independent Wi-Fi audit earns its cost — in the first conversation.

A Wi-Fi audit is a standalone diagnostic engagement. No installation assumed. No remediation locked in. You get a structured findings report with hard data behind every recommendation — evidence you can take to leadership, back to a vendor, or use to scope a targeted fix.

  • ▲Intermittent dropouts at shift change or peak load that nobody can reproduce on demand
  • ▲Clinical application and voice failures blamed on the network but never traced to a cause
  • ▲Roaming failures between APs causing session drops for mobile and IoT devices
  • ▲Channel saturation from high-density deployments or neighbouring networks
  • ▲Medical device interference on ISM bands disrupting clinical wireless
  • ▲Coverage gaps created by fit-out changes made after the original installation
  • ▲PoE budget deficiencies and Layer 1 cabling issues limiting AP performance
Who commissions a Wi-Fi audit

Independent Wi-Fi audits are commissioned when you need evidence, not opinion.

🖥️

IT Managers & Network Engineers

Wireless is misbehaving and you need independent data to prove the network is performing correctly — or to identify exactly where it isn't. The audit gives you the evidence to stop the blame cycle.

🏥

Clinical Systems & Facilities Leads

Clinical applications are dropping, staff duress systems are unreliable, or medical devices are competing with wireless. You need a specialist assessment that understands healthcare RF requirements.

🏭

Operations & Warehouse Managers

Scanners are dropping off, WMS sessions are timing out, or coverage is inconsistent across the floor. An audit identifies whether the problem is RF, capacity, roaming, or Layer 1 infrastructure.

Audit scope

What an independent Wi-Fi audit actually measures.

Every measurement taken under real operational load — not in an empty building on a Tuesday morning. Calibrated Ekahau survey tools and spectrum analysers. Results documented for every zone and floor level.

RF Coverage

Signal Strength & SNR Mapping

Physical walk survey of the live environment. Signal strength, signal-to-noise ratio, and data rates mapped across every zone and floor. Coverage gaps, dead zones, and anomalies clearly identified and located on your floor plan. See a real example in our project portfolio — a Sydney leagues club survey that identified dead zones and an offline AP before a dollar was spent on new hardware.

Interference

Spectrum & Interference Analysis

Real-time spectrum captures across 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands. Non-Wi-Fi interference sources identified and located — medical devices, Bluetooth, DECT phones, industrial equipment, and neighbouring networks. Every source documented.

Capacity

Channel Utilisation & Throughput

Channel load, client density, and throughput tested under real operational load. Co-channel and adjacent-channel interference mapped. Capacity ceilings identified per AP and per zone before they become incidents.

Roaming

Roaming Behaviour Analysis

Client roaming behaviour validated across AP boundaries. Sticky client issues, roaming failures, and session drops identified. Particularly relevant for clinical handsets, VoWi-Fi, and IoT devices that require seamless coverage.

Infrastructure

Layer 1 Assessment

Where the audit identifies cabling, PoE budget, or physical infrastructure issues affecting AP performance, these are documented. AAA Communications resolves Layer 1 findings in the same engagement — one accountable partner.

Clinical

Healthcare RF Risk Assessment

Specialist assessment for hospitals and health networks. Medical device interference identified and documented. Roaming validated for clinical applications. Assessment referenced against healthcare wireless standards on handover.

The deliverable

A findings report you can act on or escalate with.

The audit report is structured for two audiences: the technical team who need to understand the data, and the leadership or vendor who needs to understand the impact and cost of doing nothing.

  • ✓Heatmaps showing actual signal strength, SNR, and data rates across every zone
  • ✓Spectrum captures identifying all interference sources with location and frequency
  • ✓Capacity and channel utilisation analysis per AP and per zone
  • ✓Roaming behaviour findings with client-level detail where relevant
  • ✓Issues prioritised by operational impact — not technical severity alone
  • ✓Evidence-based remediation recommendations with clear scope for each finding
  • ✓Layer 1 infrastructure findings documented separately where identified

How we work

Survey in the real environment. Report with evidence, not opinion.

01

Scoping & Requirements

We establish your environment, applications, and performance thresholds. Clinical systems, voice, IoT, and OT each have distinct RF requirements that shape what we measure and how we report it.

02

Live Environment Survey

Physical walk survey of the active environment with calibrated Ekahau survey tools and spectrum analysers. Signal, interference, capacity, and roaming measured under real operational load — not simulated conditions.

03

Analysis & Findings Report

Heatmaps, spectrum captures, capacity results, and roaming findings compiled into a structured report. Issues prioritised by operational impact. Every recommendation has measurement data behind it.

04

Remediation Scoping

If the audit finds issues that need fixing, we scope the remediation separately. You decide whether to proceed. If you do, we deliver it — same partner, same accountability, no handoff to another team.

Telstra Partner since 1992 — delivering availability, resilience, and assurance across enterprise, health, industrial, and retail networks nationwide.

Audit found something that needs fixing?

If the survey identifies remediation work — AP repositioning, channel plan changes, cabling deficiencies, or a full redesign — we scope and deliver it as a separate engagement. Same partner. No handoff. Our Wi-Fi design and installation service covers predictive RF modelling, AP placement, installation, and post-deployment certification end to end.

Common questions

What IT teams ask us before commissioning an audit.

What does an independent Wi-Fi audit include?

A physical walk survey of the live environment measuring signal strength, SNR, and data rates across all zones; full spectrum analysis across 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands identifying all interference sources; capacity and channel utilisation testing under real operational load; roaming behaviour analysis; and a structured findings report with evidence-based remediation recommendations. The audit is vendor-neutral — findings are based on what is actually happening in your environment, not on any hardware outcome.

How is a Wi-Fi audit different from a Wi-Fi installation survey?

A Wi-Fi audit is a standalone diagnostic engagement for existing wireless networks. It measures what is happening and produces an evidence-based findings report — no installation or remediation is assumed or included. A Wi-Fi installation survey is part of a design and deployment project, where survey work informs AP placement, channel planning, and post-deployment certification. If your wireless is already installed and something is wrong, you need an audit. If you are commissioning new infrastructure, you need a design and installation engagement.

How long does an independent Wi-Fi site survey take?

A typical enterprise Wi-Fi audit takes one to two days on site depending on floor area, number of floors, and environment complexity. Hospitals, warehouses, and high-density facilities with multiple RF challenges may require additional time. The findings report is delivered within five business days of the site visit. We work on live, business-critical networks with no disruption to operations during the survey.

When should I commission a Wi-Fi audit rather than a full installation?

When your network is already installed but performance is not meeting expectations — intermittent dropouts, roaming failures, capacity issues at peak load, or clinical application failures that vendors cannot explain. An audit gives you independent, vendor-neutral evidence before you spend on remediation or upgrades. It identifies whether the problem is RF interference, cabling, PoE budget, channel saturation, or AP placement — so any remediation is targeted, not guesswork.
