WiFi Site Survey Tool

Scale comes from the PDF page geometry, the image's embedded resolution, a graphic scale bar, a dimension line on the drawing, or two points you click and measure — the panel always says which of them produced the figure in use, and a resolution tag that would make the building five metres across is rejected rather than believed.

Coverage is modelled on the log-distance path loss model with the attenuation of every wall between the access point and the measurement point, from drywall at 3 dB to a lift shaft at 30 dB, scaled per band.

Five layers over the plan on 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz: signal strength, signal to noise, estimated PHY rate, how many access points reach each point, and co-channel interference.

Radios start at design powers rather than the data-sheet maximum, because a cell sized on maximum power is larger than the client can answer across — the maximum is shown beside every field.

Automatic placement sizes the cell from the weaker of the two directions and takes a device count, so the layout meets capacity as well as coverage, then bisects the spacing to land on the smallest layout that still meets the target.

Channels are planned on every enabled band at once, not just the one on screen, putting reuse as far apart as the floor allows.

232 models across Cisco, Meraki, Aruba, Fortinet, Ruckus and Ubiquiti, each with its bands, spatial streams, transmit power, antenna gain, client capacity, PoE class and a link to the vendor's page; administrators can correct any of it or add hardware of their own.

Drag an access point and the distances to its neighbours move with it, so a position is argued about on the plan rather than in a spreadsheet.

Access points, switches and controllers are drawn as the devices they are — a ceiling unit, a switch with its port rows, a controller with its rack bezel — on the plan and in both the connectivity and logical diagrams.

Mark the comms room and every run is estimated along containment with the drops and the slack, totalled into a cable schedule that flags anything past the 90 m copper limit.

A fillable survey report: 101 fields across document control, scope, requirements, existing RF, infrastructure readiness, physical constraints, findings with photographs, risks, actions, conclusions and sign-off.

Every design is reviewed against itself before you issue it — PoE and port shortfalls, a floor with no scale, coverage below target, 2.4 GHz crowding, end-of-sale hardware and an unfinished report are all listed, in the app and in the Word report.

Enter unit prices and the bill of materials becomes a budget carrying installation and cabling; exports are real Office files — a Word report with a cover page, contents, running headers and a glossary, a slide deck, and a multi-sheet workbook — each with your logo and the client's.
