Wi-Fi & LAN Site Survey

Context and approach

A wireless network that "works" day to day is not the same as a wireless network designed with real data on coverage, interference, and capacity. Wi-Fi problems — dead zones, intermittent disconnections, slowdowns during peak hours — almost always have a measurable cause, not a guessable one.

Netmask's Site Survey combines industry-reference hardware and software — Ekahau Sidekick 2 and Ekahau Pro — to build a complete technical diagnostic of your LAN and Wi-Fi network, whether you need to validate an existing infrastructure or design a brand-new one before installing the first access point.

What's included in this service?

• Signal coverage (RSSI) — measured at every point in the facility.
• Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) — quality against interference.
• Channel interference and overlap — spectral congestion analysis.
• Real throughput — capacity testing for data, voice, and video.
• Heatmaps — optimal, acceptable, and deficient zones.
• Design for new infrastructure — blueprint import and signal propagation simulation with Ekahau Pro before installation.
• Validation of existing infrastructure — identification of dead zones and adjustment recommendations.
• Engineering hours package — optional implementation of recommended adjustments.
