We used Ekahau Site Survey Pro and Ekahau Sidekick to perform the wireless site survey. After a comprehensive survey, we found a few issues in wireless networking and its signals. ### **WLAN Finding** - The Site currently relies heavily on 2.4GHz for wireless coverage. There are some coverage holes in the 2.4 GHz  - The signal coverage of 5 GHz is significantly low in the entire site  ### Wireless Infrastructure:   - Currently, infrastructure uses old and end-of-life devices (Access Points/Switches)  - Insufficient number of Access Points to provide appropriate wireless coverage - Unable to identify all the locations of IDF and most of them poorly designed - Design guideline has not been followed for wiring and Access Point installation ### **Recommendations** - The wireless network needs to be redesigned to meet current business requirements - The redesign should incorporate all the new industry standards of approved vendors and it should incorporate both Structured Cabling and Network Design - We strongly recommend a detailed Access Point on Stick (APoS) site survey to design and validate Wireless Network Infrastructure before any installation can take place ### Survey routes and Access Points ![rs=w1280-Jun-25-2024-08-54-53-2897-PM](https://www.usorion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported%20sitepage%20images/rs=w1280-Jun-25-2024-08-54-53-2897-PM.jpg?width=652&height=532&name=rs=w1280-Jun-25-2024-08-54-53-2897-PM.jpg)           * Survey routes and Access Points using Ekahau site survey * ###  Signal Strength on 2.4 GHz band  ![rs=w1280-Jun-25-2024-08-57-22-7109-PM](https://www.usorion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported%20sitepage%20images/rs=w1280-Jun-25-2024-08-57-22-7109-PM.png?width=646&height=504&name=rs=w1280-Jun-25-2024-08-57-22-7109-PM.png)                                                 *       Signal Strength on 2.4 GHz band using  Ekahau site survey        *                             ### 5GHz signal strength ![rs=w1280-Jun-25-2024-08-59-29-2401-PM](https://www.usorion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported%20sitepage%20images/rs=w1280-Jun-25-2024-08-59-29-2401-PM.png?width=703&height=567&name=rs=w1280-Jun-25-2024-08-59-29-2401-PM.png)                                                                         *  5GHz signal strength using  Ekahau site survey*   Please [get in touch](https://www.usorion.com/contact-us-orion-us) with the experts at Orion US today.
