RF Site Surveys

Professional wireless site surveys to validate coverage, identify interference, and confirm your network performs as designed.

What Is an RF Site Survey?

An RF site survey is a physical assessment of a location's radio frequency environment. Using professional survey tools including the Ekahau Sidekick spectrum analyzer, we walk your facility and measure actual wireless conditions — signal strength, noise floor, interference sources, channel utilization, and more. The result is a precise, data-driven picture of your wireless environment that informs design decisions and validates installed networks.

There are three main types of RF site surveys, each serving a different purpose in the wireless network lifecycle.

Pre-Deployment Survey

Before any hardware is installed, a pre-deployment survey establishes the baseline RF environment. We identify existing interference sources, rogue access points, physical obstacles that will affect signal propagation, and any environmental factors that need to be accounted for in the design. This survey informs and refines the network design before any investment in hardware.

Post-Installation Validation Survey

After your network is installed, a post-installation survey confirms it's performing as designed. We walk the entire coverage area with active survey equipment and produce heatmaps showing real-world signal strength, SNR, channel overlap, and roaming behavior. This survey catches any deployment errors before users experience them — and gives you documented proof that the network meets specification.

Verification & Troubleshooting Survey

When an existing network is underperforming, a verification survey identifies exactly where and why. We measure current conditions, compare them against the original design intent, and produce a gap analysis that drives targeted optimization rather than guesswork.
