After completing a WLAN site survey, what is the recommended next step?

The recommended next step after completing a WLAN site survey is to provide the report to a wireless consulting firm. This action is essential for several reasons. First, the survey report contains critical data about the site's coverage, interference, and capacity needs, which professionals at a wireless consulting firm can utilize to assess and refine the network design.

Once a consulting firm reviews the report, they can contribute their expertise to ensure that the WLAN installation follows best practices and meets the specific needs of the environment. Their input may also lead to adjustments or enhancements to the proposed design, optimizing the performance of the WLAN and ensuring it aligns with the organization’s goals.

Following up with stakeholders through presentations or getting into installation phases may be valuable in their own right, but it is vital first to leverage the insights from specialists who can ensure that the implementation is sound based on survey findings. This step not only facilitates a more successful network deployment but can also save future time and costs associated with troubleshooting or redesigning poorly implemented systems.
