Overview

Active site surveys are essential for accurately measuring how a wireless network performs under real-world usage conditions. Unlike passive methods, active surveys require a device to connect to access points, allowing testers to evaluate live performance metrics such as latency, throughput, jitter, roaming behavior, and packet loss. This hands-on approach helps uncover hidden network issues, ensures quality of service (QoS), and validates design assumptions.

WirelessNetTesters brings deep expertise and cutting-edge technology to B2B clients across North America with tailored active site survey solutions. By simulating the end-user experience, we offer businesses data-driven recommendations to optimize coverage, performance, and reliability. As a trusted partner in wireless network assessment and deployment, we help organizations improve digital infrastructure, streamline operations, and reduce support issues. Our solutions are backed by advanced tools, expert analysis, and a commitment to quality that sets WirelessNetTesters apart.

Case Studies

United States (Large Hospital in Florida)

A multi-building hospital network in Florida reported inconsistent Wi-Fi in operating rooms and ICUs. WirelessNetTesters conducted active site surveys simulating device movement across sterile corridors. We discovered high roaming delays and poor SNR in handoff zones. After realigning APs and adjusting power levels, roaming improved by 80%, and real-time access to digital records stabilized during procedures.

United States (Retail Chain in California)

A national retail chain’s flagship store in California experienced disconnects during high-traffic hours. Our active surveys revealed excessive client load on single APs and poor band steering. We recommended AP redistribution, load balancing, and channel plan optimization. Post-implementation, customer Wi-Fi satisfaction scores increased by 40%, and PoS transaction latency was reduced significantly.

Canada (University Campus in British Columbia)

A Canadian university faced student complaints about unreliable Wi-Fi during peak lecture times. WirelessNetTesters performed active surveys during class transitions. The data showed fluctuating throughput and poor AP association in certain lecture halls. Upgrades and repositioning based on our recommendations improved user satisfaction and reduced helpdesk complaints by over 50%.
