Topic year 2016
Preparing for a settlement
In 2016, the planned Wi-Fi studies were already one of the opportunities being explored to prepare a project. They are used to organize the establishment based on assumptions about premises and their characteristics. Zyxel, interest in a site study.

In particular, the manufacturer Zyxel describes the value of a site survey prior to positioning access points in a multi-level building. The choice of methods and tools remains to be adapted to the actual project.
Confronting the project with use
After installation, testing shall be carried out on the selected areas and applications. They allow to identify a deviation and prepare an adjustment with localized observations.
Alltech prepares installation and connections. When a study is requested, the perimeter should specify what falls within a plan forecast, an on-site survey and post-construction monitoring.
