Wireless  WAN / LAN Site Surveys:

There is nothing worse than spending a lot of money on a wireless network that works intermittently and has poor coverage after it is installed. This is why a site survey may be the most important step in the network implementation process.

Wireless Island has staff qualified to perform site surveys for various types of equipment. Our staff has knowledge and experience in surveying a wide range of buildings and topologies and can provide innovative solutions to your specific needs.

WI will conduct your survey and will document where equipment is to be installed as well as the coverage area that can be expected with each access point.

We analyze the radio frequency spectrum to determine if there are any potential interference sources in the area and document all findings. We will also specify which antenna system will be most beneficial for each access point. Having the correct antenna will maximize coverage areas and reduce the number of access points required.

After the survey is complete, we will meet with your project managers to determine the next steps to be taken in the implementation. If you will be using WI for the network installation, we will discuss the tasks that must be completed and will assign them to a specific individual/company. We will then complete the survey documentation. Within 15 days, you will receive a complete survey document describing, in detail, proper installation of the wireless network.


Point-to-Point Surveys:

WI can assist you in reducing your reoccurring broadband costs with minimal investment. By using a wireless point-to-point connection between buildings, the need for leased lines can be greatly reduced. By connecting your buildings wirelessly, employees can take advantage of all the network resources and internet access via a leased line that is connected to the main facility.

WI will conduct a site survey to ensure that the link has complete wireless line-of-site to provide optimal communication efficiency and speed. We perform a spectral analysis to check for interfering signals in the area and note all equipment that will be required for the complete installation.

We will deliver a survey report detailing: antennae to be used, antenna cable type and length, antenna mounting location and solution, wireless bridge location and mounting solution, as well as all other ancillary products needed for a safe, secure and aesthetically pleasing installation.


Point-to-Multipoint Surveys:

WI provides municipal and office parks with wireless connectivity utilizing state of the art point-to-multipoint technology. By using a central building for a lease line connection, multiple other buildings can be connected to the main building in a "hub and spoke" architecture.

The point-to-multipoint survey is very similar to our point-to-point survey. To obtain the best signal quality and speed possible for the multi-link design, we survey with multiple antennae. Our professional site survey document will provide: all antennae to be used, their mounting locations and mounting solutions, as well as any interference encountered during the survey.

Whether it's 2, 11, or 100 Megabits that you require, WI can design and implement the best solution for your needs. From 100 yards to 100 miles, we have the solution to wirelessly connect your facilities.
