Predictive Wireless Assessment
A predictive wireless assessment will provide a detailed design for initial placement and tuning of wireless access
points. This work is performed remotely with information and floor plans provided by the customer. Additionally, it is
recommended that a Passive/Validation wireless assessment be performed to verify correct tuning and placement
once the network is installed and operational.
Active Wireless Assessment
An active assessment is where an AP is placed at a set of locations and signal strengths are measured in the
environment to design the placement, power and channel settings for the new environment. This is typically done for
new installations, upgrades or complex building designs or warehouses and healthcare where specific conditions
must be met and verified. The survey is performed with the model of AP that is going to be installed.
Passive/Validation Wireless Assessment
This assessment measures the signals and power of an existing wireless network to determine gaps in coverage or
adjustments that need to be made to location, power and/or channel settings of the environment. It is also used to
validate a new installation and identify any post installation changes that may need to be made.
Trouble-Shooting Assessment
The goal of this survey is to measure and evaluate current coverage to identify performance issues in an existing
environment. This survey not only focuses on the wireless infrastructure and configuration but also evaluates
neighboring businesses or other transmitting devices that could potentially interfere with the wireless system. If
interference is encountered, create a risk assessment. The risk assessment provided will be sorted by criticality, with
accompanying mitigation recommendations.
