A site survey involves the following tasks:
l Determine the coverage objects and requirements.
l Obtain the layout of the areas to be covered from the customer.
l Learn about the network topologies in the areas.
l Obtain contact information of customer's onsite technical personnel.
l Identify device installation positions and power supply mode (completed by the asset
management personnel of the property management).
l Determine the positions to install APs, power cables, and network cables with the asset
management personnel. Check whether Internet access resources are available.
l Determine whether a distributed antenna system (DAS) is required according to the
coverage objectives. If a DAS is available, obtain the DAS design drawings from the
customer. If not, ask the carrier whether a DAS is required. If a new DAS needs to be
established, determine the positions of antennas with the asset owners.
l Check the construction materials and calculate signal loss.
l Check for interference sources.
Collect the following information during a site survey:
l Layout of the coverage areas
Mark the cabling routes and device installation positions on the layout drawings.
l Building arrangement and structure in the coverage areas
Calculate signal coverage distance of APs based on building arrangement and structure.
l Number of users and required bandwidth
Calculate the network capacity based on the number of users and bandwidth required.
l Device installation positions
l Topology and bandwidth resources of the wired network
l Whether there are sufficient optical fibers and wired network resources to transmit
WLAN data
l Signal losses caused by walls, doors, windows, and other construction materials
l Locations and signal strengths of interference sources
l Requirements of users
