One rule of thumb for design validation is to perform a survey if the expected cost of installation exceeds the cost of the actual AP. With the advancements in predictive Wi-Fi design, network experts are often asked whether or not an APoS is still necessary. APoS surveys identify the RF signal propagation characteristics of the environment while providing additional confidence your proposed design will work as planned, reducing the need for costly AP location changes, and validating you have the correct number of APs in your design. What is an AP on a Stick survey?Īn AP on a Stick (APoS) survey is a method of temporarily staging APs at deployment height utilizing a tripod or other mounting options in order to validate your predictive design before a full site deployment. By collecting wall material attenuation and RF spectrum activity with an AP on a Stick survey, you’re able to reduce the risk of the unknown and design Wi-Fi with a higher degree of accuracy. Whether upgrading an existing wireless network or designing a greenfield network, the physical environment plays a big role in how a network performs. The lifecycle of a wireless network is the process of designing, validating, optimizing, and troubleshooting that network to ensure it continuously meets the connectivity requirements for your users.
