Wi-Fi networks are scaling every year, becoming more and more critical in the corporate IT infrastructure.
Insufficient Wi-Fi signal coverage in areas such as warehouse complexes, office centers, hotels, etc., leads to a slowdown or even a stop of accepted business processes, which could negatively affect the entire work of the company and its reputation.
A Radio Frequency survey is very effective when building a new or upgrading an existing Wi-Fi network. RF survey determines and shows the efficient number of Wi-Fi hotspots, the best places for their installation, the exact orientation of the antennas, and the frequency and power settings of the equipment.
Especially in big cities like Dubai, RF survey is essential in Wi-Fi network planning.Without running a professional RF survey, it is impossible to accurately predict how the Wi-Fi signal will propagate because there is a massive number of visible and invisible factors that affect Wi-Fi network:
LWCOM’s qualified RF Services in Dubai can improve the sufficiency of Wi-Fi networks.
A RADIO SURVEY USING A PROFESSIONAL MEASURING COMPLEX IS THE ONLY WAY TO ENSURE A HIGH-QUALITY WI-FI NETWORK ON YOUR SITE
Basic information about the characteristics of the wireless environment of the object is collected concerning the survey route:
Based on the data obtained, a reliable assessment of the main qualitative characteristics of the Wi-Fi network is made, such as signal level, signal-to-noise ratio, overlap zones, and interference level.
When conducting an active survey, the measuring equipment is connected to the existing working Wi-Fi network as a client. Using special software, a constant data stream is generated towards the client device, and the following indicators are measured in addition to the main ones:
If necessary, a packet-by-packet exchange (dump) is taken in the data transfer process between wireless clients and an access point. Based on the received data, it is possible to detect and correct problems unrelated to the physical environment, for example, those associated with errors in the operation or settings of the hardware of both the wired and wireless networks.
Radio Frequency Site surveys are performed using specialized software for the design of Wi-Fi networks
We use the Ekahau Site Survey Pro software and hardware system.
Ekahau Sidekick. The device allows you to simultaneously explore two working ranges of Wi-Fi (2.4GHz + 5GHz) in real-time.
Pneumatic masts of different heights – to choose the best places for hotspots.
This equipment allows you to securely fix the equipment, align the antennas and deliver it to the required size in the exact positions of the planned installation.
LWCOM always has a wide range of access points and various antennas from different manufacturers (Cisco, Ruckus, Huawei, Aruba, Extreme networks, Eltex, Qtech, etc.).
LWCOM provides a wide range of specialized services throughout the UAE. Our radio engineering team will ensure you have high-performance Wi-Fi networks anywhere.
