The
Importance of Site Survey (LAN)
The site survey’s primary objective is to ensure mobile workers –
the wireless LAN’s “clients”– will not find that the radio frequency signal
drops out as they move around the facility, thus becoming disconnected from the
host device or other mobile computing devices and their work -- and potentially
causing data loss.
The survey also helps customers to clearly understand the impact
of the addition of wireless local area networking on their overall networking
and system requirements. Important questions it will answer include: Does the existing
backbone have adequate bandwidth to handle the overlaid wireless network? In a
cellular architecture, are there sufficient resources to include wireless
capabilities?
Performing a site survey therefore provides a realistic
understanding of the wireless installation. It determines whether a site has
unusually high interference issues to resolve, or capacity is greater than
anticipated. And an accurate site survey enables accurate quotes to guide
financial decision making.

ReplyDeleteThis is one technology that I would love to be able to use for myself. It’s definitely a cut above the rest and I can’t wait until my provider has it. Your insight was what I needed. Thanks
