What is a Wireless Site Survey?
A Wireless Site Survey provides a real-time network coverage map of the premise to visibly assess and discover areas with potential performance issues. The result is that businesses have instant visibility into signal strength, interference and other possible issues in real time. This allows accurate troubleshooting or effective change of design to optimise wireless network performance while preventing unexpected disruption to the business further down the track.
What business types can benefit from this service?
This service would be beneficial to a multitude of business types. Essentially, any commercial or office buildings where the wireless performance is poor. Area9 can conduct these surveys at a range of businesses including hospitality venues, airports, accommodation and sporting facilities.
What are some potential issues associated with poor Wi-Fi performance?
There are several factors which may influence Wi-Fi performance such as a building being located close to a transmission tower which can cause interference, old Wi-Fi equipment or a poorly designed network. Another issue can be too much wireless infrastructure which can lead to lots of chatter in your network. Without having a survey conducted by a professional, it's almost impossible to determine why your Wi-Fi isn’t performing which makes it extremely unlikely that you can solve the problem.
