Wireless Site Surveys & Planning
Data-driven wireless site surveys — predictive pre-deployment planning and post-deployment validation to ensure optimal WiFi performance.
Overview
A wireless site survey is the foundation of every successful WiFi deployment. Summit DNC performs both predictive surveys (pre-deployment modeling) and active surveys (post-deployment validation) using Ekahau and NetAlly professional survey tools. Predictive surveys model the RF environment using floor plans and building materials to determine optimal AP placement. Active surveys walk the facility with measurement tools to validate real-world performance and identify areas needing adjustment.
Key Benefits
- Predictive surveys prevent costly design errors
- Active surveys validate real-world performance
- Heatmaps provide visual proof of coverage quality
- Interference mapping identifies non-WiFi problems
- Roaming analysis ensures seamless mobility
- Professional reports support vendor and management decisions
