The client highlighted concerns regarding intermittent connect/disconnect and inadequate wireless coverage.  The site had  Cisco's and Fortinet's internal APs installed. During the survey, the RF Engineer found inconsistent channel width and many Access points were extremely high in power. Issues with individual access points (APs) were identified and a detailed report was submitted to the client with a remediation strategy. RF Engineer also identified power level issues with some APs. Hence RF profile optimization was also recommended via Meraki Dashboard. The details of the surveys are below: Site type: 10 ft tall office area  Area:   56,159 sq ft  Height: 10 ft   Survey type:  Post Wireless Design  Coverage: 2.4 GHz and 5GHz  | | **5 GHz** | **2.4 GHz** | | --- | --- | --- | | **Signal Strength** | -65 dBm | -65 dBm | | **Secondary signal strength** | -68 dBm | -68 dBm | | **Signal-to-noise ratio** | 25 dB | 25 dB | | **Date rate** | 12 Mbps | 12 Mbps | ### Project Map  ![rs=w1280-Jun-14-2024-02-06-44-3217-AM](https://www.usorion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported%20sitepage%20images/rs=w1280-Jun-14-2024-02-06-44-3217-AM.jpg?width=619&height=330&name=rs=w1280-Jun-14-2024-02-06-44-3217-AM.jpg) *Site Map With AP Placement*  ### Signal Strength on 5GHz The image below shows the Signal Strength in 5 GHz for the site.  ![Picture12](https://www.usorion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported%20sitepage%20images/Picture12.png?width=710&height=380&name=Picture12.png) *5GHz Signal Map using Ekahau Site Survey* ### Signal Strength on 2.4GHz The image below shows the Signal Strength in 2.4 GHz for the site.  ![rs=w1280-1](https://www.usorion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported%20sitepage%20images/rs=w1280-1.png?width=709&height=379&name=rs=w1280-1.png) *2.4GHz Signal Map using Ekahau Site Survey* ### Access Points exhibiting the signal issue The images below show the signal issue shown by a few APs onsite.
