RF Site Surveys
On-Site Surveying
Pre-Installation Surveying
For Designing the Wi-Fi Nework
We can find the exact number of access points (APs) needed for your wireless network and the optimum AP locations to provide the coverage and performance you need. We can also check for interference from neighboring Wi-Fi networks and other sources of RF interference.
We utilize the “AP on a stick” method for best accuracy. We temporarily mount an AP in an ideal location and then walk around with survey equipment to add its coverage to the survey heatmap. We do this with each individual AP location, so in the end we’ll have a full visualization of the future Wi-Fi network.
We provide a full PDF report with everything the IT staff and installers will need:
Site description with site photos
Wi-Fi client details
AP and antenna details
Surveying tools and procedures
Optimum AP locations, marked on floor plan map and photos
Heatmaps of the signal, noise, and SNR
Estimated cable lengths to nearest switch
Notes and precautions for installers
Post-Installation Surveying
For Coverage & Performance Verification
After a new Wi-Fi installation or modification of an existing network, we can generate heatmaps of the Wi-Fi coverage and performance to verify requirements have been met.
We provide a full PDF report after completion with:
Site description with site photos
Wi-Fi client details
AP and antenna details
Surveying tools and procedures
Verified AP locations, marked on the floor plan map and photos
Heatmaps of the signal, noise, SNR, and co-channel interference
Suggested AP or antenna changes for any remediation
Remediation Services
For Troubleshooting, Validation, or Modifications
During surveying, we can also suggest new or modified AP locations and/or antennas to fix any coverage or performance issues.
Maybe you’re having issues with an existing network, expanding the network, making building changes that affect the network, or are validating the network before cut-over. Whatever reason, we’ll provide the expertise to ensure your Wi-Fi meets your requirements.
