Reliable performance
Consistent connectivity in every operating condition
This service helps you plan, validate, and optimize your network for reliable connectivity and strong coverage in industrial environments. By analyzing your wireless environment, we identify the best access point locations, evaluate signal performance, and uncover potential sources of interference or coverage gaps -delivering a data-driven network design you can trust.
Consistent connectivity in every operating condition
No dead zones or weak-signal blind spots
Right hardware, right placement, first time - avoiding rework and unplanned spend
A predictive site survey uses digital floor plans and RF modeling to simulate wireless coverage before deployment. It helps identify the best access point locations, estimate coverage and roaming performance, and ensure the network is designed for reliable operation from the outset. You'll receive a report including:
Following the survey, you will receive a detailed report including:
These examples illustrate how a site survey improves wireless performance by identifying coverage gaps and optimizing access point placement.
Before:
The initial installation used two access points. However, areas further from these access points experienced weak signal strength, leading to unreliable or intermittent connectivity. This is visible in the coverage map, where red and orange indicate areas with low signal strength.
After:
Following the site survey, a third access point was added to improve coverage. This resulted in consistent wireless connectivity across the entire installation. In the updated coverage map, this is reflected by more uniform green zones and absence of yellow and red zones.
HMS recommends a two-step approach for best results:
1.Start with a predictive site survey to identify potential coverage and interference issues.
2.Follow up with an on-site survey to validate performance and optimize the installation under real operating conditions.
For a limited time, HMS offers complimentary predictive site surveys for eligible sites.
This is an opportunity to assess your wireless environment with support from HMS experts, helping you understand your current coverage and identify areas for improvement.
