Survey Types
Different survey methodologies address different needs. We recommend the right approach based on your project phase and objectives.
Predictive Site Survey
Before installation begins, we create a virtual model of your facility using floor plans and building characteristics. This predictive analysis determines optimal AP placement and expected coverage.
- Floor plan import
- Wall attenuation modeling
- AP placement simulation
- Coverage prediction
Best for: New construction, renovation planning, budget estimation
Active Site Survey
Our engineers walk your facility with professional survey equipment, measuring actual signal strength, noise levels, and interference at every location.
- Real-world measurements
- Signal strength mapping
- Noise floor analysis
- Client experience data
Best for: Existing deployments, troubleshooting, validation
Spectrum Analysis
Dedicated spectrum analyzers identify all RF activity in your environment, including non-WiFi interference from microwaves, Bluetooth, wireless cameras, and other devices.
- Interference detection
- Non-WiFi source ID
- Channel utilization
- Spectrum visualization
Best for: Interference troubleshooting, dense RF environments
Post-Installation Validation
After deployment, we verify that coverage, capacity, and performance meet design specifications. Heat maps confirm complete coverage with no dead spots.
- Coverage verification
- Performance testing
- Roaming validation
- Design comparison
Best for: New installation signoff, SLA verification

Why Site Surveys Matter
Installing WiFi without a proper site survey is like building a house without blueprints. You might get lucky, but more likely you will end up with expensive problems.
Without Survey
Dead spots, interference, capacity issues, and redesign costs
With Survey
Optimal coverage, planned capacity, documented design, and predictable results
Survey ROI
FAQ - Wireless Site Surveys
Common questions about our wireless site survey services in Houston.
Why do I need a wireless site survey?
A site survey prevents costly mistakes. Installing WiFi without proper planning leads to dead spots, interference, and poor performance. The survey cost is typically 5-10% of deployment cost but prevents expensive redesigns and user complaints.
What tools do you use for site surveys?
We use Ekahau AI Pro, the industry-leading wireless design and survey platform. Combined with professional spectrum analyzers and calibrated survey devices, we collect accurate data that drives optimal designs.
How long does a wireless site survey take?
Survey duration depends on facility size. A small office (under 10,000 sq ft) typically requires 2-4 hours on-site plus design time. Larger facilities or multi-building campuses may require multiple days. We provide timeline estimates during scoping.
Can you survey while our business operates?
Yes, active surveys can be conducted during normal business hours with minimal disruption. We simply walk through your facility with survey equipment. Spectrum analysis may be scheduled during quieter periods to capture baseline interference.
What information do you need before the survey?
We need floor plans (CAD preferred, PDF acceptable), user counts by area, critical applications (VoIP, video, IoT), security requirements, and any known problem areas. Building construction details help with predictive modeling.
Do you survey outdoor areas?
Absolutely. Outdoor coverage for parking lots, patios, loading docks, and campus environments requires specialized survey techniques accounting for weather, obstacles, and interference from neighboring properties.
