Mistakes can be made with the use of survey tools that are able to make a site survey report look good. These mistakes can make an entire floor or building appear to have sufficient coverage when, in reality, client devices in certain areas can have very weak coverage.
Data gathered from a map that is not properly calibrated results in a completely inaccurate survey report. It is recommended to verify the map calibration in survey reports where the heat maps do not look correct.

In most cases, there is a single data point or AP radio provides much larger coverage in the survey map when compared to actual coverage. It is a good practice to view AP heat maps individually and verify the actual size of the coverage.
You cannot recalibrate the map after the survey is performed to repair survey data that was taken when the map calibration was not properly scaled. You must correct the map calibration and perform a new survey.
The primary objective of a post-validation site survey is to provide detailed information that addresses the current RF coverage and determines whether there is sufficient coverage to support the network design requirements.
Post-validation surveys must also include information that addresses interference sources, equipment placement, and rogue devices. The site survey documentation serves as a guide for the verification of the wireless infrastructure.
It is possible to have a survey report that shows good coverage in all areas; however, if you have APs that operate at the highest transmit power, you possibly continue experience uplink issues where the client devices do not support the same transmit power.
When conducting a GPS-aided survey, be sure to first configure AirMagnet Survey's GPS COM port so that it can communicate with your GPS device. You can use any NMEA compliant GPS device with Survey. To see a list of GPS devices that have been tested by us for use with Survey, please click here and scroll to/expand the System Requirements section.
The site survey helps with the optimal placement for your APs based on the variables in your environment. You must provide the site survey detailed information such as a floor plan (to scale) and structural materials. FortiPlanner allows you to place the APs on the map and adjust the radio bands and power levels while providing you with visual wireless coverage.
You can perform a site survey using spectrum analysis at various points in your environment to locate sources of interference. MetaGeek Chanalyzer is an example of a third-party utility used for spectrum analysis of complex WiFi networks.
Wi-Fi (also known as IEEE 802.11b) has proved to be a viable technology for wireless local area networking applications in both business and home environments. There has been a significant growth in Wi-Fi networking in recent years, both in applications and as the subject of academic research papers, articles in the IT press and research house reports. How much of this material, predominantly based on overseas experience, is relevant to New Zealand's early-adopter context? This paper reports on a survey of large New Zealand organizations focusing on the level of Wi-Fi deployment, reasons for non-deployment, the scope of deployment, investment in deployment, problems encountered, and future plans. Survey results show that most organizations at least have considered the technology, though a much smaller proportion has deployed it on any significant scale.
Based on the previous discussion, one can believe that New Zealand's experience with wireless technology may differ from that documented in overseas research. However, there is a dearth of published research focusing on New Zealand experiences. The most comprehensive survey in recent times is the NZTE report on New Zealand's fixed and mobile wireless sector (MediaLab South Pacific, 2003). Most of the previous studies have focused on both users and vendors. In terms of the end-user experience, some case studies of individual organizations have been conducted (Jackson, 2003; Smith, 2003), and a small number of questions on wireless have been included in surveys on general IT issues (Bland, O'Neill & Bell, 2003; Hind, 2003). 2ff7e9595c
