Wireless Survey Kit - WiFi Survey Equipment

Here at DigitalAir it must be said that we love our wireless surveys. Due to the fact that we perform WLAN Surveys for various Cisco Gold partners and some large system integrators, we think that we are not too bad at them.

So, with this in mind we thought that it would be nice to offer out a little information about the survey equiment that we use and why we use it so that other Wi-Fi engineers and potential customers like you can see what we use. If you have any questions about our equipment, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Firstly, let us discuss why you should conduct a wireless survey. Simply put, Wi-Fi surveys provide the detailed information required to design a reliable network. They do this by providing WiFi coverage maps, photographs of AP locations, RF Interference, cabling requirements and equipment list for an installation or optimisation.

So now you understand why you would want a wireless survey, let us explore a typical standard indoor survey kit list.

This kit includes as much as possible giving you all of the options that you may need on the day. It is designed so that you can transport everything in one box and can take this in your car and on the train/underground.
