Proposal for Ekahau, Asia Pacific edition, 23 June 2026

Survey first. Deploy right.
Retain forever.

A joint go to market campaign from InTechnology, built around Ekahau, timed to the Wi-Fi 7 and 6 GHz wave. We launch in Australia and New Zealand, then scale the same playbook across Asia Pacific. The result for Ekahau: deeper lifecycle attachment, higher licence retention, and a defensible channel moat from ANZ through to Greater China.

01 Why now

6 GHz changes the physics. Every rollout becomes a survey conversation.

More spectrum, shorter range, weaker wall penetration. Wi-Fi 7 deployments cannot be guessed into existence. Designs must be modelled. Surveys must be validated. The cost of getting it wrong (re-cabling, re-specifying APs, failed go-lives, SLA penalties) dwarfs the cost of doing it right.

That single technical fact is the economic argument for the entire campaign, and it points every prospect directly at Ekahau.

Signal at 6 GHz

Roughly half the coverage radius vs 5 GHz in typical enterprise drywall. Guesswork stops working.

Demand is up and to the right

$2.9B quarterly worldwide enterprise WLAN spend in Q4 2025, growing on Wi-Fi 7.

The skills gap is real

Most IT teams lack RF expertise. The gap is exactly what a distributor with services and training fills.

02 The thesis

Sell the lifecycle, not the licence.

Survey first means we lead with the measurement, not the SKU. Every customer who starts with a survey enters Ekahau's full lifecycle: design, validate, optimize. They don't churn off the tool, because the tool is now embedded in how they operate WiFi. Retention is a by-product of motion.

Step 01
Survey

Predictive or onsite. The conversation starts here.

Step 02
Design

Modelled in Ekahau AI Pro against the real building.

Step 03
Deploy

Specified APs, cabling and power, validated on paper first.

Step 04
Validate

Sidekick 2 measurement passes prove the design works.

Step 05
Optimize

Ekahau Connect keeps the network healthy for years.

More retention

Customers stay on Ekahau because they're using it, not because the contract says so.

More attach

Survey work pulls Sidekick 2 hardware and Connect subscriptions behind it.

More advocacy

ECSE certified engineers we train become Ekahau's loudest internal champions.

03 What's in it for Ekahau

Five reasons this is your campaign too.

Higher licence retention

Lifecycle attachment turns annual renewals into a non-decision. Survey first customers re-up on Ekahau because they're inside the tool every quarter.

Hardware pull through

Every validation survey we sell is a Sidekick 2 in the field. Every design engagement is a seat of AI Pro. We distribute the gear that proves the design.

A defensive moat vs Hamina

Hamina is the real fight. We own the honest comparison and position Ekahau as the proven, hardware backed, validation grade choice. Better us than a survey house.

A certified engineer pipeline

ECSE cohorts we run convert IT teams into Ekahau advocates. Trained engineers buy more, churn less, and recommend Ekahau by default.

Distributor lift, multi region

InTechnology carries the GTM weight: SEO, paid, events, partner enablement. Ekahau gets reach without the headcount.

In summary
Every survey we book is an Ekahau touchpoint that lasts seven years, not seven days.
04 The campaign

Three pillars. One funnel. Built around Ekahau.

Pillar 01
Flagship

Survey before you switch on 6 GHz

Ties the Wi-Fi 7 wave directly to the need for design and survey. A paid 6 GHz readiness assessment is the hero offer that converts upgrade intent into projects, licences, and Sidekick 2 sales.

Paid search on upgrade intent

Pillar 02
Comparison hub

Ekahau and the alternatives, honestly

The highest intent search traffic in the niche is the comparison query. We own a fair, expert version, including the Ekahau vs Hamina page, and route it to a consult. Better we own that ground than a survey house.

Pillar 03
Vertical risk plays

The cost of bad WiFi, by industry

Warehousing, healthcare, education, venues. Each vertical gets a quantified cost of failure article, a free health check survey offer, and a webinar. Ekahau gets attached to the most expensive WiFi conversations in the market.

Warehousing and logistics
Healthcare and RTLS
Education
Stadiums and venues
05 Vertical attack surface

High stakes industries, high value surveys.

Warehousing

Scanners, robots, metal racking. WiFi failure stops the line.

Healthcare

VoWiFi, RTLS, medical devices. Coverage gaps are patient safety.

Education

Dense classrooms, BYOD, 6 GHz dorm refresh. Survey or fail.

Venues

Stadiums, arenas, conference centres. Capacity is the product.

05a Asia Pacific rollout

Built for ANZ. Engineered to scale across Asia Pacific.

ANZ is the proving ground. Asia Pacific is the prize. We are asking Ekahau to back a regional plan, not a single market pilot, with a single distributor accountable end to end.

Beachhead to region
Proven in ANZ. Repeatable across Asia Pacific.

Year 1 launches in Australia and New Zealand where InTechnology already has the customers, the engineers, and the channel. Years 2 and 3 phase the same playbook into Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, and Greater China. One owner, one playbook, one quarterly review with Ekahau.

Localised, not just translated
Five APAC languages, day one.

Survey deliverables, training, customer portal, and renewal comms produced in English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Bahasa Indonesia. Country specific 6 GHz regulatory differences (AU, NZ, JP, KR, SG, MY, ID, HK, TW) baked into every Ekahau survey template so buyers see a vendor that already knows their market.

Channel ready everywhere
A tiered APAC reseller program.

Authorised, Premier, and Elite tiers with deal registration, shared MDF, and co marketing tied directly to Ekahau licence attach and renewal. We extend InTechnology's existing partner relationships and recruit one anchor partner per new country before we open the market.

06 Competitive context

The real fight is Hamina. We protect Ekahau's category leadership.

Survey houses already publish Ekahau vs Hamina pages as lead gen. As a multi tool distributor we can compare honestly, which is itself a differentiator, and steer high intent buyers to the proven, hardware backed choice.
