Radio and Wireless Consulting

Our radio and wireless consulting practice enables you to develop and operate a radio or wireless communications infrastructure with reliability and integrity, no matter what the scale, scope and complexity of your environment.

Our consulting models

Consulting practice: Delivered by one or more of affini's management consultants, the result will typically be a report, a design, a plan or similar in response to a pre-agreed scope of requirements with agreed deliverables. The outcome will typically lead to a project and may include the development of the business case and support during the project initiation phases.
Specialist interim resourcing: affini's expertise in wireless communications, digital transformation and cloud computing together with its industry connections and over 30 years of experience means that we are best-placed to deliver specialist RF resources for complex projects, all handpicked to join our exclusive Associates Programme. Our RF interims work within your business either supplementing your own teams, performing discrete roles, or being led and managed by our own consulting practice. This flexible approach works to fit your chosen business model.

Radio Frequency Planning

Planning and optimising any radio-based communications network requires an in-depth knowledge of radio frequency (RF) propagation in multiple environments, and the needs and goals of the organisation in question. affini brings all this to your business.

Network Design

affini draws on rich knowledge and experience across radio communications hardware, software and frequency behaviour to design future-proofed communications networks which evolve with you. Our approach has an awareness of future needs and management simplicity at its core.

In Building Coverage Design

Internal RF communication networks require careful planning. Coverage and capacity are two major factors when considering RF propagation around various environments. Whether active/passive or hybrid networks, affini can design, install and commission to customer's requirements effectively. No matter how complex your building, affini can design a network that meets today and future requirements.

Spectrum Planning, RF and Regulatory Compliance

Depending on the sector and environment you operate in and the information communicated throughout your network, you will need to plan your coverage in different ways and meet different regulatory frameworks. affini guides you through these complex landscapes.

Transformation strategy and road mapping

Replacing analogue systems with digital is one of the fastest routes to business transformation. affini provides expert consultancy on how to position your organisation competitively in a digital world, by harnessing the very latest technologies.

Vendor Neutral evaluation/ competitive analysis

Whether you need to review potential suppliers or your competition, affini’s detailed radio communications expertise and long industry track record means we are best-placed to deliver comprehensive and independent advice.

Radio Network Optimisation

Is your radio communications network performing as well as it should? Are you dropping signal, experiencing areas of weaker coverage, or unsure of whether it will be able to handle predicted increased capacity? affini provides the tests, analyses and recommendations necessary to plan your next steps.

Network Resilience and Security

Resilience and security are essential both for the overall performance of your radio communications network and the integrity of the data being transmitted. affini provides tangible actions for boosting the resilience and security of your network, through technology deployments and maintenance processes.

Integration of Radio into the IT Infrastructure

By integrating radio into your broader IT infrastructure, you can enable automated control of aspects of your radio network, or deploy IoT technology to capture and harness data from across that network. affini helps you achieve as much or as little integration as you need, with the flexibility to scale up in the future.

Command and Control System Design

Managing your radio traffic effectively requires a centralised solution for deciding on priorities, managing user groups and determining workflows. As an agnostic provider of command and control systems, our design solutions are based on best of breed products for our customer's requirements.
