The best network for your environment

An Ekahau site survey is a very effective way of obtaining information to allow us to understand the area in which the wireless network needs to work and the best place for installation. It will show up and dead areas or areas of interference so that we can build a sound network.

With the help of the Ekahau WiFi Survey you will be able to decide what equipment you can use and where it should be installed.

Take a look through our Wi-fi Site Survey FAQ’s

A wireless survey is the first and most important step in the deployment of a wireless network. A survey of the premises is essential to understand the radio frequency (RF) behaviour, discover RF coverage areas, check for RF interference, and determine the optimum placement of wireless access points and antennas.

The survey identifies issues that are specific to your premises, which have a bearing on the number and type of wireless access points that are needed to meet the business need. Without this information it is impossible to design a solution with any confidence. Any conscientious supplier will, as part of their due diligence, want to carry out a wireless survey before quoting for a wireless solution.

In a wireless network many issues can arise which can prevent the RF signal from reaching all parts of the premises. Examples of RF issues include multipath distortion, hidden node problems, and near/far issues. A site survey helps define the contours of RF coverage, discover areas where multipath distortion can occur, and areas where RF interference is high, and helps the engineers find solutions to eliminate such issues.

  • Obtain a facility diagram that can be used by the Wi-Fi mapping software.
  • Visually inspect the premises looking for potential barriers to the propagation of RF signals.
  • Identify high- and low-traffic areas.
  • Determine access point types and locations, cell coverage and overlap, channel selection, mounting locations and antenna options.
  • Check power and wired network access.
  • Document the findings.
  • Produce a kit list for quotation purposes.

A wireless survey provides detailed information that addresses coverage, interference sources, equipment placement, power considerations and wiring requirements. The site survey documentation serves as a guide for the network design phase of the project and for the installation and verification of the resulting wireless infrastructure.
