Virtual RF Site Survey Services

The design phase of an RF network involves a wireless survey of the premises to determine Access Point /Port placement by measuring signal propagation.  On occasion the facility is unavailable, generally due to it being in a remote location, currently not owned, or new construction.  In these situations BCI can provide a virtual RF site survey services as a substitute for an On-site Wireless Site Survey. 

A BCI engineer will conduct a virtual RF site survey to determine the number and location of Access Points.  A CAD drawing of the facility combined with facility information concerning racking locations and product makeup are used to estimate Access Point mounting locations.  This allows facility planning to be completed as quickly as possible freeing up resources for other tasks. 

Common Reasons for a Virtual Site Survey

A virtual RF site survey can be just as effective as live on-site survey. There are many reasons why a virtual survey is the preferred service. A few of the more common reasons are listed below.

New Construction - Facility is not built or stocked yet.
Prior to Ownership - Building still occupied by previous tenant.
Remote location - Cost to travel to site is too high.
