IT Consultancy

IT needs to be entrusted to an independent professional with the experience and knowledge to be able to advice, plan, design, install and support the complex IT systems, with integrated cloud services, smart phones, internet telephony etc. Many a time, businesses may entrust their IT services to various third parties who are focused on selling more hardware and services, regardless of function or suitability.

At Bishop Consultancy UK Ltd, we have the expertise to monitor wireless frequencies for range, strength and interference. This can help improve connectivity and speed up your network. Our advanced tools also help us identify the source of signal interference and we can rectify it for you. As well as network diagnosis, we also provide wireless surveys in Essex, Suffolk and the surrounding counties. Contact us today for more help!

Wireless Surveys

If you are planning to extend your current wireless system or are planning to install a new system for your building. We can undertake a wireless survey of all or part of your building. We serve Essex, Suffolk and the surrounding counties.
Two Access Points
The survey you can see first here is of a very old building with very thick walls and although the image clearly shows two access points, the image was created from separate surveys, each using a single access point.

This image shows the signal strength (in dBm) and coverage provided by utilising just two access points.

Wall thickness prevents a strong signal reaching the top two offices, so consideration would need to be given whether two would be enough. In this case, these rooms were used for storage and kitchens, so no signal was required.
Single Channel of 802.11g
This image, which is the second image of the two, demonstrates interference (in dBm) on one channel of 802.11g. The interference affects 3 channels overall and is strong enough to cause serious connectivity issues in the affected room(s). The source of the interference was easy to locate and could be avoided, or removed. Without the survey, this interference would have caused considerable issues.

We can survey one room, or an entire building or campus, e.g. healthcare or education. You can also rely on us for the planning of new networks based on the test results.
