Wireless Site Survey Cost Calculator

One of the most essential expenses incurred for a WiFi network is a wireless site survey. Whether starting with a blank canvas or needing to improve your current wireless network, a proper WiFi site survey ensures your infrastructure investment is not wasted.

What is the average cost of a wireless site survey per square foot?

When businesses experience connectivity, speed, and efficiency issues related to their networks, it can feel like a huge and urgent undertaking. Quick and cheap solutions may seem like the right answer now. However, your business will be back in the same position soon with solutions that are fast versus done right. Before you can know how much your total solution will cost, you need to survey your facility.

Types of Wireless Site Surveys

GREENFIELD
Commonly referred to as an “AP-on-a-Stick” or “Active Survey”, this survey can be used for a blank canvas or a total replacement of an existing network. Our gurus will physically visit your facility and use test radios in your environment to survey the performance of each square foot to generate a complete design and supporting coverage or “heat-maps” to visually depict RF/Wi-Fi coverage. It does not take into account any existing AP locations for repurposing.

PREDICTIVE
This remotely performed survey utilizes floorplans of a facility to virtually recreating it within a survey tool to “predictively” estimate AP placement and desired coverage in the environment. The design is created entirely remotely with no onsite visit. Design accuracy is indicative of a well sought out customer interview of WLAN objectives, requirements, goals, and the quality and accuracy of the provided floorplans. These surveys are typically done if an onsite visit is not possible due to underlying factors. As a result, our gurus do not recommend the use of predictive surveys alone for wireless design and planning.

HYBRID
Our most common methodology, a Hybrid survey, is a combination of Greenfield and Predictive designs. Our guru visits your facility to understand the physical and RF environment. A passive survey may be done to identify any potential RF interferers and/or neighbors. Upon completion of a walkthrough, our guru will perform an AP-on-a-Stick survey in various areas of the facility for attenuation spot checks. Upon completion of the onsite visit, the remainder of the design will be completed with predictive modeling, thus saving time and cost while still gathering valuable information onsite, such as obstructions, mounting requirements, IDF locations, etc.

ASSESSMENT
Commonly referred to as a “Passive” or “Active/Passive Survey,” this is an onsite survey of the existing performance of a currently deployed wireless infrastructure in order to determine remediation steps needed to resolve issues or expand upon the existing wireless deployment. This includes an in-depth review of the WLC (Wireless Lan Controller) or cloud-based dashboard to ensure the configurations align with best practices.

VALIDATION
As the name implies, this type of survey is used to “validate” that a particular WLAN implementation meets the requirements of the project. The WLAN is already in place, configured, and running as intended.
