Book Overview:

The installation of every wireless network begins with a site survey - or does it? Often, businesses overlook this crucial step, underestimating their needs and incurring additional, unnecessary costs. Today, no definitive text exists on site surveying and associated practices. Wireless Network Site Surveying and Implementation fulfills this need and ensures that wireless network adopters correctly install wireless networks. This book will guide IT and networking professionals through an entire WLAN site survey and installation. In Part I, the book begins with a brief explanation of the available WLAN architectures and presents a thorough explanation of the WLAN project process, including the definition of LAN requirements. It also addresses the selection of WLAN equipment, enabling the reader to make educated choices about the equipment they install. In Part II, the book presents site survey methodologies and addresses specific site survey needs for various applications, facilities, and antennas, as well as the problems and issues that arise when performing site surveys. Additionally, it discusses various survey tools that the reader will need. Finally, in Part III, the book will review the actual installation process for WLAN equipment, including the rules and regulations to which WLANs must adhere, various obstacles that arise when installing WLAN equipment, and methodologies for connecting WLAN products to the wired network.
