It scales with square footage, floor count, building complexity, and survey type. A single-floor office predictive-only engagement is a different scope from a multi-campus healthcare system with telemetry band restrictions and post-install validation on every floor. Share the floor plans and the use-case requirements — we return a fixed-fee SOW, not an hourly estimate.

New construction with documented, standard materials — predictive design in Ekahau Pro is usually sufficient. Existing building with unknowns, retrofit into a medical campus, glass-heavy curtain-wall construction in an Irvine office tower, or any environment where a previous deployment failed — onsite AP-on-a-stick. Most serious OC engagements combine both: predictive first to drive the design, onsite to validate it before the PO goes out.

Yes. Healthcare is one of our primary verticals. We design with HIPAA-aware documentation, model for FDA Class II wireless medical device coexistence in the 2.4 GHz band, and account for telemetry band restrictions that standard survey firms often miss entirely. We’ve executed multi-campus overnight healthcare cutovers — four sites, zero morning downtime — which is the bar for clinical-grade wireless work. Biotech and medtech manufacturing environments add clean-room access requirements and stricter EMI considerations; we’ve handled those for global medical device manufacturers.

Yes. Large-scale outdoor-to-indoor roaming, extreme concurrent-device counts, and unusual structural envelopes are exactly what enterprise outdoor wireless at 1.9 million square feet teaches you. Themed hospitality and convention environments have high-density ballroom and meeting space, guest room coverage, and BOH operations running on the same network — all of which require separate capacity modeling and SSID design. Bring the floor plans and the expected peak device count and we’ll scope it.

Yes. Master-planned Class A office is a common engagement type for us. Steel-frame, glass curtain wall buildings in Irvine Spectrum, Newport Center, and South Coast Metro have predictable floor-plate geometry but problematic reflective glazing that throws off predictive attenuation models. AP-on-a-stick validation corrects for that before hardware gets ordered. We also handle multi-tenant base-building amenity Wi-Fi, neutral-host DAS coordination, and 802.1X policy design for regulated-industry tenants.

About an hour on the 5 from our Valencia HQ to central Irvine, less to Anaheim, more to Dana Point or San Clemente. Most site survey engagements aren’t scheduled same-day — they require floor plan review, access coordination, and scope confirmation first. Typical scheduling after SOW signature is within a week. If your timeline is compressed, tell us that up front and we’ll plan accordingly.

Both — or just the piece you need. Many OC clients engage us for design-only so their existing VAR or cabling contractor can execute. Many engage us end-to-end: survey, design, install, validate, operate. We also do white-label delivery under a partner’s flag. See Partners for how that works.

The Ekahau project file (.esx), annotated predictive and measured heatmaps per floor (signal strength, SNR, data rate, channel utilization, interference), AP BOM with antenna and mount specs, cabling and power requirements, channel and power plan, spectrum analysis findings with photos, and a remediation list where applicable. Healthcare engagements include HIPAA-aware documentation handling and device coexistence notes. Your IT director, compliance officer, auditor, or the next engineer can pick up the package and know exactly what was deployed and why.
