What to Expect from Your Site Survey

A wireless site survey is the physical inspection of a site by a network provider where wireless radio frequency or an RF network will be installed. Site surveys focus on assessing the environment to determine wireless coverage, data rates, network capacity, roaming capability, and quality of service. A comprehensive survey can help improve workforce communication, a vital component of maintaining supply chain productivity and efficiency. However, new surveys from business leaders and knowledge workers revealed that poor workplace communication is a prevalent problem. The study estimates that $1.2 trillion is lost annually among U.S. businesses due to poor communication, which amounts to approximately $12,506 per employee annually. Without a wireless site survey to establish consistent connectivity, a business could suffer from lost productivity and expenses from poor communication.

A proper wireless survey provides businesses with reports on the detailed aspects of your wireless Network's Infrastructure to build proper connectivity. The report should provide specific information about details like network traffic through packet loss and physical rates in your wireless infrastructure. You should expect a site survey from your provider to be equipped with the following services to manage wireless issues:

• Deliver accurate information for access point locations for faster throughput
• Provide detailed data rates and eliminate dead spots
• Identify sources and locations of interference to manage network interference
• Reveal coverage voids in existing deployment to reduce dropped signals and outages
• Predictive and on-site surveys consolidated into a complete report

With the information you receive from a wireless site survey, you can troubleshoot existing problems and optimize your network for peak and efficient performance.
