All businesses today that are planning to deploy or refresh their wireless networks need to start by scheduling a site survey—and for a good reason.
Site surveys allow network engineers to identify areas of RF coverage and the equipment necessary to deliver the required signal level at a given location.
Without it, planning an enterprise-grade WiFi network becomes challenging, if not impossible, causing several common problems such as:
Coverage holes
Excessive interference
Incorrect types and amounts of access points
Wasted time and money
This article doesn’t list every detail in the WiFi design process.
Instead, it lists the starting point we use at SecurEdge when planning a new network. It’s the starting point we’ve successfully completed thousands of times across a variety of environments.
In other words, it’s proven to work.
In this blog, you’ll learn what the different types of site surveys are and how to use each one.
