A WiFi survey answers one question before anyone touches equipment: where does signal actually need to go, and what's in the way of it getting there? American Broadband Networks performs on-site WiFi surveys across Charlotte, NC — for new installs, properties dealing with dead zones, and anyone who wants a real coverage plan instead of a best guess.

Predictive vs. On-Site Surveys

01

Predictive Survey

Uses a floor plan and software modeling to estimate coverage before construction is complete — useful for early planning, but based on assumptions about materials and layout.

Best for early planning

02

On-Site Survey

Involves physically testing signal in the space as it actually exists — measuring real signal strength, real interference, and real dead zones rather than modeled estimates.

Tests real conditions

We perform on-site surveys for existing spaces, and can incorporate predictive modeling during the design phase for new construction, before walls and finishes are in place to test against directly.

02

What We Actually Measure

01

Signal Strength

How strong the signal is at different points throughout the space, and where it drops below a usable level.

02

Channel Interference

Nearby networks and devices competing for the same wireless channels, which can degrade performance even where signal strength looks fine.

03

Device Density and Capacity

How many devices a given area needs to support at once, which affects how many access points are needed, not just where they go.

04

Material Impact

How walls, floors, and structural materials in your specific building affect signal penetration — tested directly rather than assumed.

01

What You Get

A completed survey gives you a clear picture of your space's actual signal behavior: where coverage is strong, where it isn't, what's causing the gaps, and exactly where access points should go to fix it — along with a plan for the cabling needed to get power and connectivity to those locations.

✓

Coverage Analysis

See where wireless coverage is strong and where signal falls below a usable level.

✓

Dead Zone Identification

Identify the areas with poor or missing coverage and what is causing the problem.

✓

Access Point Placement

Determine exactly where access points should be positioned for reliable coverage.

✓

Cabling Plan

Plan the cable pathways needed to deliver power and connectivity to each access point location.

It's the groundwork for an installation that works the first time, not a starting point for troubleshooting later.

02

When to Get One

01

Before New Construction Is Finished

Plan access point locations and cable pathways before finishes go in.

02

When You're Dealing With Existing Dead Zones

Identify exactly what's causing dead zones instead of guessing at a fix.

03

Before Signing a Bulk or Managed WiFi Agreement

Confirm the network can support residents or tenants before committing to a service agreement.

04

When a Space Is Being Reconfigured or Expanded

Layouts, walls, and device density all change — what worked before may not work now.

FAQs on Fiber Optics Installation

How long does a WiFi survey take?

It depends on the size of the property, but most single-building surveys are completed in a single visit.

Do I need a survey if I'm just adding one access point?

A quick survey still helps confirm the best location, even for a single access point — materials and interference can affect placement more than expected.
