DrayTek RSS-RSS Wireless Remote Networking Site Survey and Planning Service

Description

A wireless site survey analyses the radio frequency environment of an area where a Wi-Fi network is deployed and recommends the placement of access points to provide wireless coverage across the whole site.

Identify and adapt with a wireless survey supported by DrayTek advice. Wireless surveys are a great approach when assessing what your network requires, considering the induvial nuances of your space. This includes identifying poor signal or dead spots within a workplace, allowing you to adapt your network according to your environment.

Why Wireless Surveys
Reduce costs and save time by mapping out necessary equipment ensuring accurate equipment purchases by identifying connectivity black spots.
Boost business and boot bottlenecks by knowing how to achieve the best bandwidth.
Tackle disruption and security by understanding your security requirements.

Reason for Wireless Surveys through DrayTek
Identify project requirements.
Improve efficiency with a simpler, centralised networking journey.
Enhanced flexibility with options of either remote or on-site survey.

What Wireless Survey is for you?
What Stage of your journey
DrayTek Wireless surveys are prepared to support at any part of your connectivity journey.
Predictive surveys | Performed before moving into a new space.
Passive surveys | Collect information about all signals in the environment after the site is built.
Active surveys | Focus on a specific signal or set of signals while the network is in full operation.

Your DrayTek Survey options
A wireless survey is a critical process in the deployment and optimisation of wireless networks, especially in environments where seamless connectivity is essential. It involves assessing a physical location to determine the best placement of wireless access points (APs) to ensure optimal coverage, performance, and reliability of the network.

This can be done in person with an “on-site survey” or remotely with a “remote survey”. Discover the benefits of each the two DrayTek wireless survey offerings below.

Remote survey

About
A Remote Wireless Survey is a process used to assess and optimize wireless network performance without the need for an on-site visit by a technician. This method uses specialized software and hardware tools to remotely analyse, plan, and troubleshoot wireless networks such as Wi-Fi.

How
The survey typically involves gathering data on signal strength, interference, bandwidth usage, and other critical factors that affect the performance of a wireless network. This data is then used to make recommendations for improving network performance, such as repositioning access points, changing channels, or upgrading equipment.

Outcomes
From this surveys you will be provided insights into the coverage, capacity, and overall health of the wireless network.

Benefits
Cost-Effective with No On-Site Visits:
Remote surveys eliminate the need for travel, saving costs associated with transportation, accommodation, and technician fees.

Reduced Downtime:
With faster deployment, network issues can be addressed more quickly, minimizing disruption to business operations.

Time Save with Quick Deployment:
Since technicians don’t need to physically visit the site, the survey can be conducted quickly and at any time, leading to faster issue resolution.

Real-Time Data Analysis:
Data can be analysed in real-time, allowing for immediate adjustments and improvements.

Scalable:
Remote surveys can easily be scaled to cover multiple sites, whether local or global, making them ideal for businesses with multiple locations.

Scheduling Convenience:
Surveys can be scheduled at times that are most convenient for the business, including off-peak hours to avoid interruptions.

Comprehensive Analysis and Detailed Reports:
Remote surveys provide in-depth reports on network performance, including heat maps, signal strength, interference levels, and more.

Continuous Monitoring:
Remote tools can provide ongoing monitoring and alerts, ensuring that any emerging issues are identified and addressed quickly.

Reduced Physical Access:
By minimizing the need for physical site visits, the security risks associated with granting access to third-party technicians are reduced.

Secure Data Handling:
Remote surveys can be conducted using secure protocols to ensure that sensitive data remains protected.

Predictive Analysis:
By continuously monitoring the network, potential issues can be predicted and resolved before they impact users.

Optimization and Proactive Network Management:
Ongoing adjustments can be made to optimize network performance based on changing demands and usage patterns.

Conclusion
A remote wireless survey is an efficient and effective tool for managing wireless networks, providing comprehensive insights without the need for on-site visits.
The benefits of cost savings, time efficiency, flexibility, and enhanced security make it an attractive option for businesses looking to maintain robust and reliable wireless connectivity.
