How Strong is Your WiFi? Improving Connectivity for Local Businesses in East Yorkshire
In today’s business landscape, poor WiFi isn’t just a minor inconvenience—it’s a critical issue. From frozen Zoom calls to slow file uploads, unreliable internet can hold your business back. This is particularly true for businesses across East Yorkshire, where rural infrastructure and older technologies sometimes struggle to keep up with modern connectivity demands.
As a local IT solutions provider, System Plus understands the challenges faced by businesses in this region, and we’ve helped countless clients—from bustling offices in Hull to small workshops in Pocklington—overcome connectivity hurdles. Whether it’s eliminating WiFi dead zones or boosting speeds, we’re here to keep you connected.
What Causes WiFi Dropouts?
If you’ve experienced spotty internet in your workplace, you’re not alone. Common causes of poor connectivity include:
- Network Dead Zones: Areas in your building where the WiFi signal is weak or non-existent, caused by physical barriers like walls, floors, and even furniture.
- Outdated Equipment: Using older routers or hardware that can’t handle modern demands like high device density or 4K streaming.
- Signal Interference: Devices like microwaves and cordless phones, or even competing WiFi networks, can interfere with your connection.
At System Plus, we specialise in diagnosing and fixing these issues. Using WiFi heat mapping, we can identify weak spots in your coverage and create tailored solutions that ensure a smooth, uninterrupted connection across your entire workspace.
The Biolink Hull Case Study: Upgrading to WiFi 6
A great example of how we’ve improved connectivity is our recent work with Biolink, a Hull-based manufacturer. Their office faced frequent WiFi dropouts, particularly in meeting rooms and high-traffic areas. After performing a full site survey using WiFi heat mapping, we implemented a cutting-edge TP-Link WiFi 6 mesh network.
This system ensured seamless coverage throughout their office while delivering faster speeds and the ability to handle a large number of devices simultaneously—critical for a business with multiple employees using cloud-based software and video conferencing tools. The result? A fully connected office that’s ready for the demands of modern work.
Why Upgrade to WiFi 6?
If you’re still using older WiFi systems, it might be time to consider an upgrade. WiFi 6 offers a range of advantages that make it ideal for today’s businesses:
- Higher Speeds: Perfect for video calls, file sharing, and cloud-based software.
- Increased Capacity: WiFi 6 can handle many more devices without slowing down—a must-have for modern offices.
- Improved Reliability: Say goodbye to buffering and lag, even during busy periods.
- Mesh Technology: A WiFi 6 mesh network ensures consistent coverage across your entire workspace, eliminating those frustrating dead zones.
With solutions like TP-Link Deco Mesh Systems, System Plus ensures that your business can thrive with reliable, high-speed internet.
