- How the planning service works

A wireless site survey is essential to the planning and design phase, prior to the installation of a wireless network in your premises or location.
We can provide both predicative and onsite AP on a stick surveys depending on building stage and client requirements.
We start each design project with a comprehensive scoping meeting to understand your requirements.
Considerations for a new WiFi network design include: Building construction and layout; User Density; Application usage and any custom device types; Network usage requirements; Underlying network infrastructure; External RF interference; WiFi equipment vendor choice
A good WiFi design will ensure the correct quantities and type of access points are purchased for the building, usage requirements and density of users, it also means data cabling is run to the correct locations eradicating any post installation reworks, maximising return on investment and value for the organisation.
A guaranteed WiFi design from Performance Networks ensures great performance from the outset with future proofing built in. - Planning service works with specific services

Fighting climate change
As a WiFi installer and software provider our main directly controllable emissions are travel, hosting and our office operations. Hence we have focused on these for our key objectives as these areas are where we can have the biggest impact.
We work with an external specialist to measure our emissions and create a carbon reduction plan (CRP) on an annual basis.
1. Reduce the emissions from our fleet – Target - Migrate 20% of our fleet fully electric – 2 new fully EV’s introduced March 2022, all remaining vehicles under 150g/km
2. Reduce hosting and office operations emissions and impact – Target - 100% renewable electricity for hosting, office and recycle all non-confidential paper waste – Certified renewable electricity used by hosting provider and building and dedicated paper recycling bins introduced.
3. Operate a virtually paperless workplace – Target – Print under 1000 pages per year and push suppliers to paperless invoices – On target less than 600 pages so far.Covid-19 recovery
