Site Survey & Planning 
 

Definition 

 
A site survey is a task-by-task process by which the surveyor discovers 
the RF behavior, coverage, interference, and determines proper hardware 
placement in a facility. The site survey’s primary objective is to ensure 
that mobile workers and the wireless LAN’s clients experience 
continuously strong RF signal as they move around the facility.
