Keen to deploy a wireless LAN solution, but concerned about range, coverage and performance?

Our new on-site wireless survey could be the answer.  We'll test the limits at your home, office, warehouse or building site and provide a written report.

Up to 50% of the survey cost will be rebated against any subsequent purchase of a wireless access point or wireless-enabled router.

Estimating coverage of an 802.11b wireless LAN can be a complex exercise.  The range depends on many factors including the type of building, layout and topography, positioning of the equipment and  local interference sources.

The maximum performance of an 802.11b wireless lan is 11 Mbps, and the range can be as great as 250 metres in open air, but the data rates and coverage ranges achieved in practice can vary widely.  The data rate can be dropped down as low as 1 Mbps to maintain connectivity, while the range can be reduce down to as little as 15-20m in certain conditions.  In some environments, performance and coverage close to the theoretical maximums can be achieved.

It's important to know in advance what can be achieved in practice in your environment, so that you can plan the number and location of access points, achievable data rates and number of connected stations.

Our on-site wireless survey is carried out by an experienced network engineer, and includes the following key points:

  • Preliminary review of the site and coverage requirements with the client.

  • Selection of suitable access point locations.

  • Installation of access point at up to 3 test locations.

  • Coverage survey to determine limits of reception.

  • Bandwidth and error-rate tests at 4-5 selected locations

  • Review of results with client

  • Written report

Up to 50% of the survey cost will be rebated against any subsequent purchase of a wireless access point or wireless-enabled router.
