Overview

Passive site surveys are foundational to assessing wireless network performance in real-world conditions. These surveys involve monitoring existing RF signals in the environment without sending traffic over the network. They enable professionals to detect signal strengths, interference, noise levels, access point coverage, and client behavior—all critical to optimizing wireless performance and planning future expansions.

WirelessNetTesters offers specialized passive site survey services and systems to help B2B clients across North America achieve optimal wireless coverage and reliability. Our solutions support organizations in reducing network downtime, minimizing performance gaps, and achieving better wireless experiences for users. With deep technical expertise, advanced tools, and a relentless focus on customer success, we empower businesses to take full control of their RF environments. Through reliable data insights and scalable solutions, WirelessNetTesters helps clients streamline wireless deployments and proactively solve network challenges before they become business disruptions.

Case Studies

United States (Healthcare Facility in Texas)

A regional hospital in Texas experienced connectivity drops and delayed access to patient records via their EMR system. WirelessNetTesters conducted a passive site survey using Ekahau and GAO Tek tools. The heatmaps revealed overlapping AP signals and high channel interference in patient rooms. Based on our findings, APs were re-tuned and relocated. Post-optimization, network availability improved by 45%, and average EMR load time dropped by 30%.

United States (University Campus in Illinois)

A mid-sized university planned to expand its Wi-Fi coverage across dormitories and outdoor recreation areas. Our team performed passive site surveys before and after AP deployment using integrated GAO RFID mapping devices. The data uncovered areas of weak signal propagation and suggested optimal AP placements. The institution reported a 60% reduction in IT support requests related to Wi-Fi after implementation.

Canada (Logistics Warehouse in Ontario)

A logistics company in Ontario was struggling with unreliable handheld scanner connections across a multi-zone warehouse. WirelessNetTesters deployed passive survey equipment from GAO Tek to analyze signal dropouts. The survey helped map out metal shelving reflections and dead zones. Strategic AP reallocation and channel adjustments resolved over 90% of reported issues, improving scanning accuracy and warehouse productivity.
