--- title: Optimized Wireless Network Deployment for Seamless Connectivity description: A comprehensive pre-deployment site survey optimized wireless connectivity for a 95,000 sq. ft. facility in Ohio, USA. Using Cisco Meraki APs and Ekahau Pro, we ensured strong signal coverage and device compatibility. Strategic AP placements minimized dead zones, enhancing performance across offices, warehouses, and production areas. Future-ready recommendations ensure scalability and seamless communication. image: https://www.usorion.com/hubfs/Imported%20sitepage%20images/Site%20Map%20Edited%201.png --- - About - [About](https://www.usorion.com/about-us) - Services - [Wireless Surveys (Ekahau)](https://www.usorion.com/wireless-site-surveys) - [Structured Cabling Services](https://www.usorion.com/structured-cabling-solutions) - [Fiber Consultancy & Installations](https://www.usorion.com/fiber-consultancy-installations) - [Colocation Deployment & Migration](https://www.usorion.com/colocation-deployment-migration-infrastructure-services) - Talent Acquisition Services - [Talent Acquisition](https://www.usorion.com/talent-acquisition) - [Job Vacancies](https://jobs.crelate.com/portal/usorion/) - [Coverage](https://www.usorion.com/coverage) - Resources - [Newsletter](https://www.usorion.com/orion-us-newsletter-connect) - [Data Dictionary](https://www.usorion.com/data-dictionary) - [Blog](https://www.usorion.com/blog) [![logo](https://www.usorion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/USOrionLogoNew.png?width=654&height=260&name=USOrionLogoNew.png "logo")](https://www.usorion.com/) [+1 (803) 724 1204](tel:+1%20(803)%20724%201204) [sales@usorion.com](mailto:sales@usorion.com) [contact us](https://23748016.hs-sites.com/contact-us-orion-us) # Blog Find out more ![Banner arrow - Usorion](https://www.usorion.com/hubfs/Icons/banner-arrow.webp) ![survey\_perks](https://www.usorion.com/hubfs/survey_perks.png) ![Ekahau Site Survey ](https://www.usorion.com/hubfs/Imported%20sitepage%20images/Site%20Map%20Edited%201.png) ## Optimized Wireless Network Deployment for Seamless Connectivity 12 February 2025 To support seamless wireless communication, we conducted a comprehensive pre-deployment site survey for a 95,000 sq. ft. property at Ohio, USA encompassing offices, warehouses, and production areas. This process ensured a future-ready wireless infrastructure tailored to meet operational demands. ![Site Map Edited 1](https://www.usorion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported%20sitepage%20images/Site%20Map%20Edited%201.png?width=1066&height=677&name=Site%20Map%20Edited%201.png) *Site Map* ### Key Deliverables and Equipment  Using Cisco Meraki MR46 and MR76 access points (APs) with AccelTex antennas, we created a robust wireless setup. The survey was performed with Ekahau Pro, enabling precise RF data visualization through signal heatmaps on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Equipment Overview: - AP Models: Cisco Meraki MR46 (indoors) and MR76 (warehouse/production). - Antenna Solutions: AccelTex Omni and directional antennas for diverse needs. - Transmit Power: Fixed at 11 dBm as per client standards. Survey Insights: - Continuous ping testing ensured device compatibility for handheld scanners and all client IT devices. - Modeled AP placements optimized signal propagation across different environments. ### Signal Strength on 5GHz ##### 5GHz  :  ![5Ghz-0e62e29](https://www.usorion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported%20sitepage%20images/5Ghz-0e62e29.png?width=664&height=356&name=5Ghz-0e62e29.png) *5GHz Signal Strength in Office Production and Warehouse* ##### 2.4GHz : ![2Ghz-1b4b0da](https://www.usorion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported%20sitepage%20images/2Ghz-1b4b0da.png?width=710&height=376&name=2Ghz-1b4b0da.png) *2.4GHz Signal Strength in Office Production and Warehouse* ##### AP Placement : ![AP placement-c2f5f3e](https://www.usorion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported%20sitepage%20images/AP%20placement-c2f5f3e.png?width=709&height=375&name=AP%20placement-c2f5f3e.png) *AP Placements* ### Findings ##### Signal Coverage Optimization: - Comprehensive heatmaps indicated strong RSSI levels exceeding -65 dBm across the site. Strategic AP positioning reduced signal overlaps and dead zones. ##### Device Capacity and Density: - Design accounted for high-traffic areas like Conference rooms, production lines, and meeting spaces, ensuring smooth performance even during peak hours. ##### Enhanced Infrastructure: - Upgraded to Category 6a cabling for efficient Power over Ethernet (PoE). - Placement of APs maintained optimal distances to MDF/IDFs, minimizing latency. ### Recommendations To further enhance network efficiency we will conduct: - Conduct periodic post-deployment reviews to confirm coverage. - Evaluate PoE switch capacity for redundancy and scalability. - Explore network segmentation to optimize guest and corporate traffic flows. Our survey aimed to exceed expectations by designing a wireless network tailored to operational demands. This deployment guarantees seamless connectivity, ensuring productivity and satisfaction for all users.
