With the production of more and more wireless devices there is a growing need for Wireless Access at sites, campuses and facilities across the world. If you are thinking of implementing wireless technology at your facility, there is much to consider. Cost, security and wireless coverage are major areas of concern when implementing site-wide wireless technology.

A radio frequency (RF) site survey is the first step in the deployment of a Wireless network and the most important step to ensure desired operation. A site survey is a task-by-task process by which the surveyor studies the facility to understand the RF behavior, discovers RF coverage areas, checks for RF interference and determines the appropriate placement of Wireless devices.

In a Wireless network, many issues can arise which can prevent the radio frequency (RF) signal from reaching all parts of the facility. Examples of RF issues include multipath distortion, hidden node problems, and near/far issues. In order to address these, you need to find the regions where these issues occur. A site survey helps you to do this. A site survey helps define the contours of RF coverage in a particular facility. It helps us to discover regions where multipath distortion can occur, areas where RF interference is high and find solutions to eliminate such issues. A site survey that determines the RF coverage area in a facility also helps to choose the number of Wireless devices that a firm needs to meet its business requirements.

The four main design requirements that need to be taken care of while a site survey is performed are:

• High Availability
• Scalability
• Manageability
• Interoperability
