    During a Fall 2013 site survey, consultants analyzed the university's wireless network access point placement, building materials, and capacity needs on a room-by-room basis. The comprehensive report included recommendations for additional access point locations and densities to improve coverage and meet current and future user needs. Maps and heat maps visualized technical data like throughput, signal strength, and interference to clearly communicate network health and where improvements were required.

    Survey Overview
    During the Fall Semester of 2013, Apogee consultants performed a comprehensive
    wireless network site survey. This survey provided ITS and our constituent working
    groups with the information to improve wireless performance to meet current and
    future needs.

    The physical site survey required consultants went room to room, building by building,
    analyzing current access point (AP) placement, room design, set-up and capacity. They
    also analyzed building materials and other components that affect wireless
    performance. This completed survey gave us a clear picture of how many access points
    are needed, where the additional gear should be placed, and in what density.

    The site survey report included the following information:

    Multi-floor Wi-Fi network plan based on Ithacas RFP requirements*


    Map of recommended survey routes and access point placement per building, per floor.
    Network health of the wireless network based on the coverage and performance
    requirements set.
    Heat Map of coverage, overlap and performance of each location
    Heat Map of throughput for each location
    Heat Map of the access point audible for each location
    Heat Map of channel overlap for each location
    Heat Map of signal strength for each location
    Heat Map of signal to noise ratio for each location
    Heat Map of interference/noise for each location
    Heat Map of connectivity per AP by location

    * Our requirements were to move the campus from an older model of simple wi-fi coverage, to a new
    modern design based on room capacity that also assumed users carrying more than 2 devices each.


    Example of the site survey reports
    Apogee generated a site survey report for each building, identifying and analyzing
    current access point (AP) placement, room design, set-up and capacity. Here is an
    example of what some of that report looks like. While the reports raw technical data
    can seem complicated, their team visualized the information into a more friendly set of
    images in order to communicate clearly what work needs to be done.
