Our team Orion US carried out a thorough pre-deployment WiFi Survey in Cedar Rapids, IA, USA. We meticulously examined the office buildings, creating detailed maps and utilizing real-time modeling to gather crucial data supporting our network design proposal. Using Ekahau Site Survey Pro and Ekahau Sidekick, we meticulously ensured that every corner of the buildings received optimal WiFi coverage.

Pre-deployment site surveys are performed by collecting data from existing wireless devices, such as laptops, smartphones, and other Wi-Fi-enabled devices. This data is used to map the wireless network, identify areas where the network may be weak, and take steps to improve the network's performance.

Another benefit of Ekahau Site Survey Pro is its speed. The software is designed to be user-friendly and easy to use, allowing administrators to quickly and efficiently survey the site. This can save organizations time and money compared to traditional site surveys, which can be time-consuming and require specialized equipment
