Comparison of a Manual Survey and an Automated Survey

Figure 1-6shows an actual hospital survey done using AirMagnet Surveyor with an 802.11b Cisco PCM350 client card. Four panels on the AirMagnet window show the survey results. The top-left panel shows that the survey data was collected in passive mode. The middle left panel shows the access points seen by the survey client while doing the passive mode walkabout to collect survey data. The right panel shows the floor plan that was imported and the strength of signal as reported by the client walkabout for the survey area. The dark green to light blue colors indicate that the signal strength on the floor of the hospital wing varied from -30 dBm to -55 dBm. The five access points that are located on the floor are tagged with their MAC addresses. The room walls on this floor had 6 dB of attenuation and the doors had 7 dB of attenuation. The through-floor attenuation was 7 dB.

Figure 1-6 Hospital Floor Survey with AirMagnet Surveyor

Figure 1-7shows the manual survey results of a group of survey engineers. The AirMagnet Surveyor report shows a remarkable similarity to the manual survey. The survey in Figure 1-6shows that throughout the floor the signal is above -65 dBm. The manual survey was done with a cell edge requirement of -65 dBm. The manual survey was completed several weeks before the AirMagnet Surveyor survey. The floor plans used for AirMagnet Surveyor were imported from the drawings provided by the contracted survey team. By necessity, the survey team spent a great deal of time determining the proper location, power settings, and antenna types to be used on the floor. However, the AirMagnet Surveyor provided an updated survey in a couple of minutes from a walkabout that took less than 20 minutes.
