A wireless site survey analyses the radio frequency environment of an area where a Wi-Fi network is deployed and recommends the placement of access points to provide wireless coverage across the whole site.
Identify and adapt with a wireless survey supported by DrayTek advice. Wireless surveys are a great approach when assessing what your network requires, considering the induvial nuances of your space. This includes identifying poor signal or dead spots within a workplace, allowing you to adapt your network according to your environment.
Why Wireless Surveys
Reduce costs and save time by mapping out necessary equipment ensuring accurate equipment purchases by identifying connectivity black spots.
Boost business and boot bottlenecks by knowing how to achieve the best bandwidth.
Tackle disruption and security by understanding your security requirements.
Reason for Wireless Surveys through DrayTek
Identify project requirements.
Improve efficiency with a simpler, centralised networking journey.
Enhanced flexibility with options of either remote or on-site survey.
What Wireless Survey is for you?
What Stage of your journey
DrayTek Wireless surveys are prepared to support at any part of your connectivity journey.
Predictive surveys | Performed before moving into a new space.
Passive surveys | Collect information about all signals in the environment after the site is built.
Active surveys | Focus on a specific signal or set of signals while the network is in full operation.
Your DrayTek Survey options
A wireless survey is a critical process in the deployment and optimisation of wireless networks, especially in environments where seamless connectivity is essential. It involves assessing a physical location to determine the best placement of wireless access points (APs) to ensure optimal coverage, performance, and reliability of the network.
This can be done in person with an "on-site survey" or remotely with a "remote survey". Discover the benefits of each the two DrayTek wireless survey offerings below.
On-site survey
About
An on-site wireless survey involves a technician physically visiting the location where the wireless network is to be installed or optimised.
How
During the visit, the technician uses specialised equipment to measure signal strength, identify sources of interference, and map out the coverage area.
Outcome
The technician can test the network in real-time, adjusting as necessary to address any issues that may arise.
Benefits
Accuracy and Precision
Since the survey is conducted on location, it provides highly accurate and precise data. The technician can directly observe physical obstacles like walls, furniture, and electronic devices that may affect the wireless signal.
Real-Time Problem Solving
On-site surveys allow technicians to immediately address and resolve any issues they detect. If a particular area shows weak signal strength, adjustments can be made on the spot.
Comprehensive Coverage Analysis
The technician can physically walk through the entire area, ensuring that every corner of the location is tested for signal strength and quality, which is crucial in large or complex environments.
Human Insight
Being on-site allows the technician to consider environmental factors that might not be apparent through remote surveys, such as user behaviour patterns or unique architectural features.
Conclusion
For the most reliable and thorough analysis of your environment including potentially unexpected inhibitors that may not be visible remotely, to achieve the full potential of your network capabilities.
