Commercial Wireless Network
& Wi-Fi Installation
Reliable wireless networks are critical for modern businesses, but most wireless performance problems are not caused by access points alone. In commercial environments, Wi-Fi reliability depends on proper cabling, adequate wired backhaul, correct access point placement, and sufficient power delivery.
Fiber Infrastructure Solutions provides commercial wireless network and Wi-Fi installation services for business and industrial facilities across North Carolina. Wireless systems are designed as part of a complete network infrastructure—including structured cabling and fiber backhaul—rather than as standalone hardware deployments.
This page focuses on the design and installation of commercial Wi-Fi networks within buildings and facilities. Building-to-building point-to-point wireless connectivity is addressed separately.
Residential wireless services are not offered.
Commercial Wireless Network Installation for Business Environments
We design and install commercial wireless networks for a wide range of business environments, including:
-
Office buildings and professional offices
-
Warehouses and distribution centers
-
Manufacturing and industrial facilities
-
Medical and healthcare environments
-
Retail and customer-facing spaces
-
Multi-tenant commercial buildings
-
Campus and multi-building facilities
Each environment presents unique challenges related to building materials, device density, roaming behavior, and interference. Commercial wireless networks must be designed specifically for the facility and operational requirements—not deployed using consumer or residential assumptions.
Why Business Wireless Networks Commonly Underperform
Many businesses upgrade Wi-Fi access points but continue to experience dropped connections, slow speeds, or inconsistent coverage. In most cases, performance issues are caused by infrastructure limitations rather than the access points themselves.
Common causes include:
-
Outdated or improperly installed cabling
-
Insufficient PoE capacity at network switches
-
Poor wireless access point placement
-
Shared or undersized wired backhaul
-
Lack of planning for device growth and usage density
A wireless network is only as strong as the infrastructure supporting it.
Our Approach to Commercial Wireless & Wi-Fi Design
Wireless networks are treated as an infrastructure and engineering discipline—not a hardware install. Reliable commercial Wi-Fi requires proper planning, accurate access point placement, and supporting infrastructure designed to perform today and scale in the future.
A typical commercial wireless project includes:
-
Wireless coverage and capacity evaluation
-
Access point placement and density planning
-
Cat6 or Cat6A cabling design for each access point
-
PoE switch power and capacity review
-
Integration with existing MDF and IDF locations
-
Fiber backbone planning when required
-
Standards-compliant installation
-
Documentation and testing
Many commercial wireless deployments are completed alongside fiber optic and structured cabling projects to ensure sufficient backhaul capacity between network rooms, IDFs, and high-density areas.
Wireless Networks Built on Structured Cabling & Fiber Backhaul
All commercial Wi-Fi networks rely on wired infrastructure. Properly installed structured cabling—and, in larger facilities, fiber backbones connecting MDF and IDF locations—are critical to wireless performance, capacity, and reliability.
Every wireless access point requires a dedicated, properly terminated, and tested cable run. In facilities with large floorplates, multiple network rooms, or high device density, fiber backhaul is often required to prevent bottlenecks and support future expansion.
Wireless projects are commonly coordinated with:
-
Structured cabling upgrades
-
MDF and IDF build-outs
-
Fiber backbone installations
-
Network room cleanup and organization
Designing wireless networks and infrastructure together reduces rework and supports long-term scalability.

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Wireless Networks
How much does commercial wireless network installation cost?
Pricing depends on facility size, layout, number of access points, cabling requirements, and whether fiber backhaul is required. Accurate pricing requires a site evaluation.
Why is our wireless network slow even with new access points?
Wireless performance issues are commonly caused by outdated cabling, insufficient PoE power, poor access point placement, or backhaul bottlenecks—not the access points themselves.
How many wireless access points does a business need?
The number depends on square footage, building materials, device density, and usage patterns. Commercial wireless design balances both coverage and capacity.
Does a wireless network still require cabling?
Yes. All wireless access points require dedicated cabling. Cable quality and category directly impact wireless throughput and reliability.
When should a wireless bridge or point-to-point link be used?
Wireless bridges are typically used to connect separate buildings or outdoor areas where installing fiber is impractical. For detailed guidance, see our Point-to-Point Wireless Network Installation page.
