When is a Wi-Fi survey worth doing?
A survey is valuable when the building, user density, mobility or application requirements make guesswork expensive.
- Multiple floors or buildings
- Warehouses, schools and hospitality
- Voice or operational devices over Wi-Fi
- Outdoor coverage
- Recurring dead zones or capacity complaints
What should the survey measure?
A useful assessment measures signal strength, interference, channel use, noise, roaming behavior and the existing wired backhaul in the actual environment.
Is a predictive design enough?
A predictive design is a strong planning tool, but complex or mission-critical environments benefit from onsite validation before and after installation.
