Get the right Wi-Fi data before you make the wrong investment.
A wireless survey can help you plan a new Wi-Fi deployment, validate a design before installation, or uncover what’s behind poor performance in an existing environment. But those goals require different approaches.
Download WEI’s free solution brief, Choosing the Right Wireless Survey, to determine which type of engagement fits your project and what you should expect from it.
Not All Wireless Surveys Answer the Same Questions:
Are you planning a wireless refresh and trying to determine access point quantities and placement? Designing Wi-Fi for a warehouse or other challenging physical environment? Or troubleshooting dropped connections and inconsistent coverage after deployment?
The right assessment depends on where you are in the wireless lifecycle.
WEI breaks down three approaches:
- Predictive Wireless Survey: Plan access point quantities, locations, coverage, and capacity before equipment and cabling decisions are finalized.
- Predictive + AP on a Stick (APoS): Test a proposed design against actual onsite RF conditions before committing to permanent equipment and cabling.
- Active and Passive Validation with Configuration Review: Measure an installed network, examine configuration, identify potential causes of performance issues, and prioritize corrective actions.
Reduce the Guesswork Behind Wireless Decisions
The brief is designed to help IT leaders address several common challenges:
- Avoid over- or under-designing a new wireless deployment
- Reduce costly cabling and AP-placement changes after installation
- Validate design assumptions in challenging physical environments
- Confirm whether a completed deployment meets agreed coverage and performance requirements
- Identify potential causes of slow Wi-Fi, dropped connections, roaming problems, and coverage complaints
- Turn wireless measurements and configuration findings into prioritized next steps
