The choice of access point location can play a large part in the performance of your wireless network. This document provides some recommendations to help ensure that your wireless networks are optimised to help meet the requirements of your users.
Thanks for Pranay Pancholi at Loughborough University for providing the document.
This document focuses on using Ekahau Site Survey Pro’s planning feature capabilities to assist in designing a Wi-Fi network. A desktop-based survey can be used to simulate, model and carry out simulated RF performance predictions of a Wi-Fi network.
This case study focuses on a request from academic departments within Loughborough University to assist with final year student assessment and viva demonstrations. This is achieved by moving away from the use of privately created wireless networks within the local department and instead using University infrastructure and hardware.
Thanks to Pranay Pancholi at Loughborough for providing the document.
This document provides an overview on how to perform a wireless site survey, using the Ekahau Site Survey application, on a post-wireless installation survey, within a new building. Performing a post installation wireless survey is the only way to prove that your wireless deployment will fulfill your wireless network requirements.
Recent additions to the library pages during April/May 2013:
Pranay Pancholi the WTAS adviser who is based at Loughborough University has recently provided us with a couple of documents:
He has added more FAQs to the existing list at: https://community.ja.net/library/advisory-services/faqs
Wireless site surveys are undertaken to aid in planning and deploying a new or an existing network.
The site survey will determine any dead spot holes, overall signal coverage and interference. Gathering this information will help to determine how many access points are required for your site as well as suitable locations for points of install.
Site surveys are often required for new and existing installations.
IEEE 802.11u is an amendment to the 802.11 family of protocols which enables the sending, and requesting, of information relating to a wireless network and its operator/owner. This allows users to be presented not just with the SSID of a wireless network but more detailed information, such as the services offered by the network. This document from Loughborough University provides a brief overview.
Pranay Pancholi at Loughborough University has provided a short document to help users understand the basic procedures of getting started in undertaking a Spectrum Analysis scan of troublesome hotspot locations by using MetaGeek’s Wi-Spy DBx tool with Chanalyzer Pro and Chanalyzer for Mac OS X.
The document can be viewed at this link.
Pranay Pancholi has provided a short document about the migration and deployment of 802.11ac. It can be found at this link.
