Free Predictive Wireless Designs

[Net-Ctrl]

With any wireless modifications, be it expanding an existing deployment, upgrading an ageing one or planning for a completely new network one of the first steps should be a Predictive Wireless Design.

 

A Predictive Design also called a Planning Design or Predictive Survey uses specialist software to create a virtual representation of your site and predicted RF environment. Access Points are placed around the site based on best practice WiFi design to model a predicted deployment. The software interprets this model and produces a report showing the predicted signal strength and coverage amongst other metrics. You can also perform density planning using the predicted data.

 

With a predicted AP count it is possible to build out proposals and costs for further discussion and review. The survey can be updated and remodelled following the review until a design has been confirmed. All documentation and reports are provided to the client for future review.

 

Net-Ctrl offers these Predictive Designs free of charge.

 

Any design does require manufacturer knowledge by the person completing it. Net-Ctrl primarily works with Ruckus but can also complete surveys based on Aruba (excl. Instant-On) and Cambium.

 

To complete a Predictive Design, we will need:

 

• A copy of scales site plans
  
• Description of your built environment
  
• User profile – class sizes, device type and applications
  

 

Following a Predictive Design, we would recommend an Active Survey/On-site Survey be completed by a trained professional. This enables the engineer to put the predictions to the test and ensure the AP layout will perform as expected. Please note this is a chargeable service on a day rate basis.

 

For any questions, please feel free to comment on this thread or send them to me directly.
