Why is a Wireless Site Survey Needed from BROCENT ASIA's blog

When putting in a wireless network, a Wireless Site Survey is highly recommended. A site survey is a must-have item for bigger wireless network deployments. A site survey is useful for smaller wireless deployments, but the expense of the study can be prohibitive. When constructing a wireless network, we seek optimal wireless coverage and performance with the least amount of equipment. This saves time, manpower, and money on equipment. We must understand the Radio Frequency (RF) behavior of our wireless network deployment location in order to achieve optimal wireless coverage and performance.

A wireless site survey will provide this information by exposing areas of signal interference, weaker signals, and no signals (dead zones). A wireless survey also aids in avoiding interference caused by existing radio sources as well as interference caused by physical structures such as columns, beams, walls, and metal items. In reality, anything, even furniture, and people can have an impact on a site's radio signal profile. Remember that the goal of a wireless site survey is to establish the feasibility of deploying a wireless network to satisfy your demands and how to deploy a wireless network within the restrictions of your location.

How may a Wireless Site Survey assist you?

When constructing a wireless network, WiFi access points (APs) are frequently deployed at random, but is this a wise strategy? The add-hoc approach is fine for small deployments, but for medium to large deployments, a wireless site assessment is recommended and frequently required. A wireless site survey can assist you to decide where to put WiFi access points to avoid interference and overlap coverage from other APs. In fact, many network administrators simply position WiFi APs at random and simply add extra WiFi APs when extra coverage is required or when complaints about poor WiFi service are received.

The network manager of an add-hoc wireless network has no understanding of what kind of interference exists or how the radio signal profile of the site varies. A wireless site survey will assist evaluate if and how much co-channel interference exists, where external radio interferences are causing problems, how to reduce the number of WiFi APs required, and where to strategically locate the WiFI APs for best coverage. It is critical to remember that a wireless site survey is a snapshot of the site's radio signal profile at the time of the survey. As people, cubicles, furniture, and electronic equipment are added to the site, the radio signal profile changes, necessitating a fresh site study.

What is IT Asset Disposition?

Absolute defines asset disposal as the process of removing an electronic device or computer from a business' control for recycling or disposal.

In addition to erasing data, we also delete it. Be sure that all personally identifiable information has been removed from redundant IT assets prior to recycling. Conventional methods can be used for this.
