A proper site survey — for any service we run.
Whatever you're planning — internet, failover, Starlink, 4G/5G, CCTV, networking, wireless or power — we come to site and measure it first. Every recommendation is grounded in what your site actually is, not what a map says it should be.
If we can build it, we can survey for it.
Pick one, or have us assess several in a single visit — most sites need a few of these working together.
Internet & connectivity
Which bearers are actually viable at your location — fibre, fixed wireless, satellite, 4G/5G — and the realistic throughput and contention of each.
Failover & resilience
A viable second and third bearer, how quickly failover kicks in, and where the single points of failure are before they bite.
Starlink & satellite
Clear sky-view and obstruction check, best dish placement, cabling route, and whether a static public IP is the right fit.
4G/5G LTE
Measured signal (RSRP/SINR) by carrier, the best antenna position and height, and expected real-world speeds — not marketing coverage maps.
CCTV & security
Camera positions and coverage, lighting, cable and power routes, and how footage will get off site reliably for remote viewing.
Networking
Cabling routes and distances, switch and rack locations, IP and VLAN planning, and the condition of any existing network.
Wireless / point-to-point
Line-of-sight between locations, distance, interference and clear spectrum, so a link performs once the mast goes up.
Power & UPS
Available power, mounting and grounding, and the runtime you need — so comms and cameras ride through dips and outages.
Cyber & firewall
Network exposure, segmentation of OT from IT, remote-access risks and where a managed firewall belongs in the design.
From site visit to a design you can build.
Scope
A quick call to agree what to assess, site access and any constraints — so the visit is focused and efficient.
On-site survey
An engineer measures signal, line-of-sight, power, cabling and existing kit, capturing photos and readings.
Report
A clear written report with findings, risks, photos and options — plain English, no jargon dump.
Costed design
A recommended, costed design ready to build — then we can install it right first time.
The facts we bring back — service by service.

| Service | What the survey confirms | What it prevents |
|---|---|---|
| Internet & connectivity | Viable bearers and realistic throughput at the site | ✕ Buying a link that underperforms |
| Failover | A genuine second/third bearer and failover behaviour | ✕ Discovering both links share one fault |
| Starlink | Obstruction-free placement and static-IP fit | ✕ Dropouts from trees, masts or roofs |
| 4G/5G LTE | Measured signal per carrier and best antenna spot | ✕ Trusting a coverage map that's wrong |
| CCTV | Camera coverage, lighting, cabling and power | ✕ Blind spots and cameras with no feed |
| Networking | Cable routes, rack/switch siting, IP & VLAN plan | ✕ Rework and downtime after go-live |
| Wireless / PtP | Clear line-of-sight, distance and clean spectrum | ✕ A link that fails once the mast is up |
| Power & UPS | Available power, mounting and runtime needed | ✕ Kit that dies at the first power dip |
