What is an AP on a Stick Wireless Survey?

An AP on a Stick survey is a pre-deployment survey methodology used to design a wireless network that meets specific coverage, capacity, and performance needs.

 

This survey involves temporarily mounting an access point (AP) on a tripod at predetermined locations within your environment. Using Ekahau’s advanced tools, the survey captures real-time data to simulate wireless coverage and performance. The results provide a comprehensive blueprint for the optimal placement and configuration of access points.

Key Objectives of an APoS Survey Include:

Designing for Coverage and Capacity:

Determining the ideal AP placement to ensure seamless coverage and meet user density requirements.

Testing for Interference and Obstructions:

Identifying physical barriers and sources of interference that could impact signal strength and quality.

Creating a Future-Proof Network:

Providing a wireless design that can accommodate current and future demands.

Why an APoS Survey is Essential for Wireless Success

In today’s digital world, wireless networks are a critical part of business operations. However, deploying a reliable network requires careful planning and precise design. Factors such as building layout, user density, and interference can significantly impact performance.

An APoS survey helps you overcome these challenges by providing a clear, data-driven blueprint for your wireless network. It’s the first step toward achieving a network that delivers seamless connectivity, enhanced productivity, and long-term reliability.

Accurate Access Point Placement

APoS surveys allow real-world testing of signal propagation, helping you determine the ideal locations for access points before full deployment—reducing guesswork and costly rework.

Environment-Specific Performance Validation

By simulating access point behaviour in your actual environment, APoS surveys reveal interference, signal reflections, and physical obstructions that can’t be detected through predictive modelling alone.

Optimised Coverage and Capacity

Ensure consistent wireless performance across your entire site by identifying coverage gaps and overlapping channels early, leading to a stronger and more reliable network.

Reduced Post-Deployment Issues

With pre-installation validation, you mitigate the risk of signal blackspots, poor roaming, and performance bottlenecks—saving time, budget, and support resources after go-live.
