Ekahau Site Survey - Pre-deployment WiFi Surveys, London, Canada

Written by Orion US | Jul 29, 2024 2:44:05 PM

Our Orion US Network team conducted an advanced pre-deployment WiFi Survey in the bustling city of London, Canada. We meticulously observed the intricacies of the office buildings, creating detailed maps, scaling them to precision, and utilizing real-time modeling to gather crucial evidence supporting our innovative network design. Leveraging the cutting-edge technology of Ekahau Site Survey Pro and Ekahau Sidekick, we thoroughly ensured that every corner of the buildings received optimal WiFi coverage.

Pre-deployment site surveys are performed by collecting data from existing wireless devices, such as laptops, smartphones, and other Wi-Fi-enabled devices. This data is used to map the wireless network, identify areas where the network may be weak, and take steps to improve the network's performance.

Another benefit of Ekahau Site Survey Pro is its speed. The software is designed to be user-friendly and easy to use, allowing administrators to quickly and efficiently survey the site. This can save organizations time and money compared to traditional site surveys, which can be time-consuming and require specialized equipment.
