Our Passive Wi-Fi Coverage Surveys are performed to obtain the most accurate coverage depiction of your wireless network and its performance with respect to the different signal strength and SNR thresholds required for:

​

• Data-only wireless coverage

• Voice-grade wireless coverage

• Real Time Location System (RTLS) wireless coverage - such as Cisco CMX/RTLS

• High-Density Wireless Coverage, and 

• Optimal Roaming Coverage

 

Dynamic Wireless uses Ekahau AI Pro survey software coupled with the Sidekick 2, to collect "real-time and real-world" signal and performance measurements during our onsite passive wireless survey of your existing coverage, allowing us to measure wireless network performance and RF coverage in the most realistic way possible, in order to provide recommendations on:

​

• Identifying coverage holes/black spots and the reasons why they exist

• Determining levels of interfering neighbour Wi-Fi networks

• Determining optimal radio transmit power thresholds, channel widths and channel assignment.

• Remediation of identified coverage holes/black spots via

  • Possible relocation of​ existing access points to more optimal locations.

  • Relocation of existing access points to avoid obstructions and multi-path interference caused by metallic reflections.

  • Proposed installation of additional access points.

• Remounting of existing access points to reduce co-channel interference and adhere to a best-practice high density coverage access point layout design.

• Remounting of existing access points to provide more accurate location tracking of Wi-Fi tags and devices in an RTLS network, based on best-practice RTLS access point layout methodologies​.

• Determining additional access points faults, including:

  • Radios not transmitting​

  • WAPs not connecting to the wireless controller or cloud portal

  • WAPs experiencing PoE supply issues

  • Ethernet ports disconnected from WAPs, or faulty cable runs causing PoE and connectivity issues between the switch and AP

  • Client roaming issues between WAPs

  • Inadequate Cisco Flexible Radio Assignment (FRA) design causing 2.4 GHz blackspots

  • Inadequate or incorrect radio transmit power threshold tuning on the wireless controller or cloud configuration settings, causing inadequate coverage, excessive noise levels and/or client roaming issues.
