As wireless networks become increasingly important in our daily lives, organizations are looking for efficient and effective methods to design and optimize their wireless networks. One such method is a passive site survey, and Ekahau Site Survey Pro is the ideal tool for performing these surveys.
Ekahau stands out as a top-notch provider of wireless network design and analysis software, offering organizations a complete solution for conducting wireless site surveys. A standout feature of Ekahau Site Survey for passive site surveys is its seamless ability to gather data passively, without causing any disruptions to the network's regular operations.
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.
One of the key advantages of utilizing Ekahau Site Survey Pro is its exceptional speed. With its user-friendly design, this software enables administrators to swiftly and effectively conduct surveys on-site. This streamlined process not only saves organizations valuable time but also reduces costs compared to traditional survey methods that are often laborious and demand specialized equipment.
Our Orion US Network team conducted a pre-deployment WiFi Survey in Montreal, Canada. We observed details related to the office buildings and sketched detailed maps, scaled the map, and observed the real-time modeling to gather evidence to support the proposed network design. The WiFi survey was performed using Ekahau Site Survey Pro and Ekahau Sidekick. We ensured that all designated areas of the buildings had WiFi signals.
