WLAN Site Survey

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Wireless access points and controllers are getting quite sophisticated. It is really necessary to have a WLAN Site Survey performed in this day and age?
A: Despite the level of sophistication and “self-awareness” that many WLAN devices have attained, if the user wants to be sure that coverage is sufficient to ensure optimal performance levels – and therefore prevent breaks in his critical data supply chain – a WLAN Site Survey performed by knowledgeable professionals is essential.

Q: Isn’t wireless network coverage simply a matter of adding enough access points?
A: No, it isn’t. The “simple” adding of more access points could contribute a whole new set of problems for the integrity and performance of the wireless system.

Q: Can an Intermec WLAN Site Survey be purchased independently of the other WLAN Site Engineering services?
A: Yes. However, to ensure that the WLAN is installed to the exact specifications set out in the Intermec WLAN Site Survey, it is recommended that Intermec WLAN Site Installation services are also purchased.
