## Ekahau Site Survey - Predictive Survey conducted at Tustin, California, USA

 29 May 2024

Upon receiving a request from our client in Tustin, Orange County, California, USA, we conducted a predictive wireless design using 10 Cisco C9120AXI access points (APs). These APs were strategically placed on the drop ceiling in the office area and on metal iron structures in the warehouse. To optimize performance, we recommended lowering the APs below the ceiling using conduits or ready rods in the warehouse.

Following the completion of the predictive wireless design, a comprehensive report including the installation guide and precise locations of the Access Points (AP) was promptly delivered to our client.

### Survey Details

**Site type :**  16ft feet tall warehouse with 9ft tall office area  
**Area :** 20,000 sq ft.  
**Height :** 16 ft.  
**Survey type :**  Predictive Wireless Design  
**Coverage :** 2.4 GHz and 5GHz  
**AP used for APoS :**  Cisco C9120AXI  
**Antenna :**  All Internal AP  

|  | **5 GHz** | **2.4 GHz** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Signal Strength** | -65 dBm | -65 dBm |
| **Secondary signal strength** | -75 dBm | -75 dBm |
| **Signal-to-noise ratio** | 25 dB | 25 dB |
| **Date rate** | 12 Mbps | 12 Mbps |

### Signal Strength on 5GHz

The image below illustrates the Signal Strength and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) in the 5 GHz frequency range for the site. With a total of 10 strategically placed Access Points meticulously covering every corner of the area, seamless wireless connectivity is ensured. This detailed visualization showcases the robust network performance and reliable connection provided by the Cisco C9120AXI access points, enhancing the overall user experience within the facility.

### Access Points (APs) location on the Floor Plan

The detailed floor plan below showcases the exact positioning of each of the 10 Cisco C9120AXI access points within the site. Through a meticulous design process, we strategically placed these access points to guarantee maximum coverage for signal strength and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), adhering to industry-standard design parameters. This precision in placement ensures that every corner of the facility receives optimal wireless connectivity, enhancing network performance and providing a stable and reliable connection for all users. By utilizing this strategic approach, we have created a robust wireless network that elevates the overall user experience within the Tustin office and warehouse space.
