What Is a Wireless Network Site Survey?

A high-performing and efficient wireless network is an invaluable asset for your organization. Along with enhancing internal communication and productivity, it also boosts customer service. However, it does not come about by chance.

It requires deliberate and strategic implementation and rollout of network resources. In this regard, performing a network site survey is essential. This involves assessing floor plans and other key factors within your environment that affect network strength. It is from such analysis that you’ll be able to determine:

  • The best equipment to use
  • Ideal number of access points
  • Optimal locations for access points 
In essence, wireless network site surveys help you determine the best equipment and draw maximum output from them. If you already have network resources in place, you may still need greater functionality. This is may be because your current setup is not effective or you need to scale up. In this regard, wireless heat mapping services will come in handy. Our team of experts will perform tests on your existing network to determine the quality and strength of signals at various points. This will help us determine if and where there are gaps in your network infrastructure.

Types of Site Surveys

In order to accurately determine your IT infrastructure needs, there are three types of site surveys we use. These are: 

  • Passive site surveys – Involves the use of a site survey software and wireless adapter to listen in on the wireless local area network (WLAN). It may also involve adding temporary access points to enhance survey results.

  • Active site surveys – Our experts will use wireless adapters linked to particular access points to measure the performance of the network. It provides details on key metrics such as the time it takes to data to be sent and received and packet loss.

  • Predictive site surveys – We’ll use predictive analytics and software and a simulation of your RF environment. Such surveys are often conducted using floor plans or blueprints. 

When are Site Surveys Necessary?

There are two key instances in which organizations may need wireless network site surveys. This is during the onset before you setup your IT infrastructure and later on when upgrading. With the latter category, some of the signs you need to give us a call include:

Benefits of Site Surveys

If you already have an existing network, why should you consider performing a site survey? Well, there are several benefits you don’t want to miss out on. 

1.   Data Visualization

During the wireless network survey, our technicians will collect data on coverage and network usage. From this data they’ll have an accurate map and assessment of your existing network. This then enables them to develop a better design to upgrade the network to. As a result, issues with low bandwidth and spotty coverage will be resolved. 
 

2.   Planning for the Future

As your business grows, your IT and network needs will also increase. Just as you perform market analysis and make projections to guide company strategy and direction, the same should be done for your network needs. 
 
If you are not aware of your possible network and IT needs going forward, it’s impossible to determine if your current setup will perform. This increases the likelihood of issues arising and delayed upgrades as you are unprepared.  
 
This is one of the key benefits of performing a wireless site survey. It helps you determine future needs allowing you to plan in advance.
