"It drops when I walk to the shop floor."
What's usually happening
No overlap between APs. The client holds a dying association instead of roaming to the next radio.

Wi-Fi that works in
the back of the warehouse.
Most business Wi-Fi problems are not bandwidth problems. They're design problems — access points mounted where the electrician had a stud, channels fighting each other, and one SSID carrying laptops, guests, printers, and a label maker from 2014. AllTech designs coverage from the floor plan up, installs it, and then proves it works before we leave.

01 · The problem
"It works at my desk."
Wi-Fi is the only part of the network your staff experiences directly, and the only one they can't see. When it degrades, nobody files a ticket that says "co-channel interference." They say the internet is slow, and they say it about the ISP.
02
"It’s slow every afternoon."
What's usually happening
Airtime saturation — too many clients on too few radios, or legacy devices dragging the whole channel down.
03
"It’s fine on my phone but not the scanner."
What's usually happening
Handhelds and IoT often support 2.4 GHz only, and 2.4 GHz was never planned.
04
"We added an extender."
What's usually happening
Consumer mesh and extenders halve throughput per hop and create a second, competing network.
Adding an access point to a bad design gives you a worse design with more radios in it.
02 · What we do
Designed, installed, and then proven.
01
Predictive design
We start from a floor plan, wall construction, ceiling height, and where people actually work. Predictive modeling gives us AP count and placement before anyone runs a cable — which is the cheapest time to change your mind.
02
On-site site survey
For warehouses, clinics, older buildings, and anywhere with block, brick, foil-backed insulation, cold storage, or steel racking, we survey in person. Drywall guesses don't survive contact with a masonry wall.
03
Cabling and mounting
Every AP gets a proper drop and PoE — no daisy-chained extenders. Structured cabling, plenum where code requires it, and mounts that put the radio where the design says, not where it is convenient.
04
SSID and VLAN architecture
Corporate, guest, and IoT get separate VLANs and separate rules. Guests reach the internet and nothing else. Cameras and door controllers don't share a broadcast domain with your file server.
05
RF tuning and roaming
Channel plans, power levels, band steering, minimum data rates, and fast roaming so a laptop or handheld hands off cleanly between APs instead of clinging to the one it saw first.
06
Validation and monitoring
We walk the site after install and confirm signal, throughput, and roaming behavior against the design. Then the controller stays under monitoring, so we see a failing AP before you call about it.
03 · How we design it
Four phases, floor plan first.
- 01
Discovery
Floor plans, building construction, client device inventory (including the odd ones — scanners, tablets, VoIP handsets, machine HMIs), user counts per area, and what applications have to hold up. Wireless VoIP and real-time video have far tighter requirements than email.
- 02
Design
AP count, placement, mounting height, channel and power plan, band strategy, and the cabling runs to support it. You get a marked-up floor plan and a bill of materials before we order anything.
- 03
Deploy
Cabling, mounting, switch and PoE provisioning, controller configuration, SSIDs, VLANs, firewall rules, and RADIUS or WPA3 as appropriate. Cutovers scheduled around production — we don't re-cable a shop floor mid-shift.
- 04
Validate & operate
Post-install walk-through, roaming tests, documentation handed to you, and ongoing monitoring with firmware managed on a schedule rather than whenever something breaks.
04 · Technology we standardize on
UniFi specialists, limits included.
We're Ubiquiti UniFi specialists, which means we know its limits as well as its strengths. UniFi gives small and mid-sized businesses enterprise-grade capability — centralized control, VLAN-aware SSIDs, per-AP RF control, and a single pane for Wi-Fi, switching, cameras, and door access — without enterprise licensing overhead.
Where UniFi isn't the right answer, we say so. Very high-density venues, some healthcare and industrial environments, and sites with existing Meraki, Aruba, or Fortinet investments are better served staying on those platforms, and we'll design and manage those too.

05 · Bands, plainly
What each band is actually good for.
- 2.4 GHz
- Best: Range, IoT, scanners, older equipment Watch: Only three non-overlapping channels; crowded and noisy everywhere
- 5 GHz
- Best: Laptops, phones, video, the daily workhorse Watch: Shorter range; some channels share spectrum with weather and military radar (DFS)
- 6 GHz (Wi-Fi 6E/7)
- Best: High-density, clean spectrum, new hardware Watch: Shortest range; needs 6E/7-capable clients, so it supplements rather than replaces 5 GHz
6 GHz is genuinely useful and genuinely oversold. It only helps devices that support it, and it needs more APs to cover the same square footage. We deploy it where the client mix justifies it.
06 · Where this matters most
The buildings that punish a bad design.
01
Manufacturing
Racking, metal, forklifts, and handheld scanners that must stay associated end to end.
02
Healthcare & clinics
Segmented guest Wi-Fi, reliable coverage in exam rooms, and equipment that can't drop mid-procedure.
03
Professional services
Dense office floors, video calls, and confidential traffic that stays off the guest network.
04
Multi-site organizations
One design standard and one controller view across every location.
05
Warehouses & cold storage
Long spans, hard surfaces, and temperature ranges that eat consumer hardware.
06
Public-facing spaces
Captive-portal guest access that's isolated from everything that matters.
07 · What we won't do
The parts we'd rather say up front.
01
We won’t quote an AP count off a phone call.
Coverage depends on the building.
02
We won’t sell you more radios to fix an interference problem.
Sometimes the fix is fewer APs at lower power.
03
We won’t tell you Wi-Fi replaces cabling.
Anything stationary and bandwidth-hungry belongs on copper.
04
We won’t leave a network without documentation.
You get the floor plan, IP scheme, VLAN map, and credentials.
05
We won’t claim a number we haven’t measured.
Post-install validation numbers come from your site, not a datasheet.
08 · FAQ
Common questions
Do we need a site survey, or can you design from the floor plan?
Standard offices with drywall interiors usually design fine predictively. Warehouses, industrial sites, masonry or historic buildings, cold storage, and multi-floor layouts get an on-site survey. We'll tell you which one you are before you pay for the other.
How many access points do we need?
It depends on square footage, wall construction, ceiling height, and how many devices sit in each area. Coverage and capacity are separate problems — a conference room that seats 30 may need its own AP even if the signal already reaches it.
Should we upgrade to Wi-Fi 7?
Only if your client devices can use it and your current design is actually the bottleneck. If the existing problem is placement or channel planning, a new standard won't fix it. We check that first.
Can you make our guest Wi-Fi safe?
Yes — separate SSID, separate VLAN, client isolation, bandwidth limits, and firewall rules that allow internet access only. Guests should never be able to see a printer, a camera, or a server.
Do you install the cabling too?
Yes. Structured cabling, drops, PoE switching, racks, and server-room buildouts are in-house work, not subcontracted.
Will you manage it after install, or hand it off?
Either. Many clients keep Wi-Fi under our managed IT agreement so firmware, monitoring, and changes stay with us. If you have internal IT, we'll document it and hand over cleanly.
