Physical site study
Perform a study of the physical site:
• Study blueprints of the proposed site. A site blueprint provides a map of
the site, including the location of objects such as walls, partitions, and
anything else that could affect the performance of a wireless handset.
This helps identify areas where wireless handsets are less likely to
perform well. Many obstructions are not readily visible and, in some
cases, a room originally built for a specific purpose, such as a radiology
lab, might have been converted into something completely different,
such as a conference room. The blueprint may also show areas proposed
for future building expansion.
• Mark possible wireless handset usage locations on the blueprint and refer
to the marked blueprint during the physical walk-through and inventory.
Walk-through and survey
Conduct a physical walk-through and survey:
• Document any items or materials near a proposed AP location that might
interfere with reception or transmission and affect wireless handset
performance, such as metal shelving.
• Document stock and inventory levels, current environmental conditions,
and any materials that may interfere with wireless handset transmissions.
