Wireless Site Surveys

Predictive, passive, and validation surveys that measure how signal actually behaves in your space.

A wireless site survey turns guesswork into an engineering-grade plan. Instead of buying access points and hoping, you learn what your building will actually do — where signal drops, where capacity runs out, and where a small change fixes a big problem. We use Ekahau survey tooling and industry-standard methodology for predictive designs, passive measurements, and post-install validation.

When you need wireless site surveys

  • You are planning a new deployment or major upgrade
  • You are troubleshooting slow WiFi or dead zones
  • You need to validate a recent installation
  • You want a defensible design before signing hardware or install contracts

What's included in wireless site surveys

Predictive design

Model coverage and capacity from your floor plans before any hardware is ordered.

Passive survey

Walk the space with measurement tools to record real signal, noise, and coverage.

Active survey

Validate real client performance against the design and use case.

Written report

Heatmaps, findings, and specific recommendations you can act on.

How our wireless site surveys process works

  1. Step 01

    Discovery

    We start with a short conversation about your environment, users, applications, and timeline.

  2. Step 02

    Assessment

    A remote review or on-site survey validates the requirements and confirms scope.

  3. Step 03

    Recommendation

    You receive a written recommendation with the right services, phasing, and next steps.

  4. Step 04

    Delivery

    Cambium Solutions delivers, installs, and validates the network to the agreed design.

Wireless Site Surveys FAQ

What is included in an Ekahau wireless site survey?
A predictive model from your floor plans, an on-site passive survey of real signal and noise, an active survey against your key applications, and a written report with heatmaps and specific recommendations.
How long does a site survey take?
Most single-floor offices are surveyed in a day. Warehouses, campuses, and multi-building sites depend on square footage and access, and are scoped before the visit.
Do we need a survey if we already have a network design?
A validation survey confirms the installed network matches the design and catches interference, coverage gaps, and roaming problems before users find them.

What a wireless site survey deliverable looks like

Outdoor survey: measured coverage across parking, plaza, and entrance areas — red and yellow show where signal drops before design changes.
Ekahau multi-floor wireless site survey showing predictive signal heat maps for four building floors
Multi-floor predictive survey: per-floor heat maps and channel plans validated across every level of the building.
