WLAN Survey, Design, and Implementation

Enabling You To Go Further

As technology continues to evolve, the need for reliable wireless connectivity is becoming increasingly important. WLAN Surveys are a great way to ensure that your business’s IT infrastructure is up-to-date and secure. This article will discuss the benefits of WLAN Surveys and how they can help protect your business from potential security threats.

Why a WLAN Site Survey is Essential

Before deploying or upgrading a wireless network, conducting a WLAN site survey is critical. It allows us to:

Identify Coverage Gaps & Interference – Ensure consistent signal strength throughout the facility.

Optimize Access Point Placement – Prevent overcrowding and minimize signal overlap.

Plan for High-Density Areas – Ensure seamless connectivity for large user loads.

Improve Security & Performance – Identify vulnerabilities and optimize encryption settings.

Ekahau WLAN Surveys: The Gold Standard in WiFi Design

At Integrity IT Solutions, we use Ekahau’s advanced software and hardware tools to perform detailed predictive and on-site WLAN surveys. Here’s how it works:

Predictive Wireless Design

Using Ekahau AI Pro, we create a digital model of your facility and simulate WiFi performance based on:

  • Building Layout & Materials (walls, glass, metal, etc.)
  • Network Traffic & User Load (number of connected devices)
  • Interference & Signal Overlap (existing WiFi, Bluetooth, microwaves, etc.)
  • Access Point Placement (coverage vs. capacity balance)

This approach helps us design a high-performance network before even stepping on-site.

On-Site Passive WLAN Survey

With the Ekahau Sidekick 2, we conduct a real-time passive site survey, walking through the facility while collecting live data on:

  • Signal Strength & Coverage
  • Interference Sources & RF Noise
  • AP Channel Utilization & Congestion
  • Dead Zones & Overlapping Signals

This allows us to fine-tune the wireless design based on real-world conditions.

On-Site Active WLAN Survey

For a more in-depth analysis, we conduct an active WLAN survey using a configured access point. This process includes:

  • Deploying a temporary AP at various locations throughout the building or site.
  • Measuring real-world performance including signal strength, throughput, latency, and roaming capabilities.
  • Simulating real network conditions, ensuring proper load balancing and minimizing co-channel interference.
  • Validating AP performance, allowing us to determine the ideal number and placement of access points.

This survey provides highly accurate performance data, ensuring that the network is optimized before full deployment.

WLAN Design & Optimization

Once the survey is complete, we optimize the network by:

  • Adjusting AP placement, power levels, and channel selection
  • Ensuring seamless roaming between access points
