Professional Services

RF Site Survey:   RF site surveys are performed by factory (Cisco, Motorola) and BICSI certified engineers to determine the requirements necessary for implementing a wireless network. An analysis is made during the survey to pinpoint what equipment is necessary, where the equipment should be placed, power considerations and wireless requirements. An RF analysis will be performed to analyze possible RF interference and survey for radio coverage. The number of access ports and antennas and their placement will also be determined during the site survey. This is recommended to determine the requirements needed to achieve optimal coverage at the facility containing the wireless system. Once the results of the survey are analyzed, a site survey report will be provided indicating the equipment and peripherals necessary to successfully implement a wireless install.  A cabling estimate is also provided. Wireless Network Survey form Sample Wireless Survey Wireless LAN Installation: Trek Associate’s standard wireless local area network (WLAN) installation covers connecting and configuring the access ports, cables and Power over Ethernet (POE) devices.
