Validation Survey is performed on existing wireless networks. AThis can be the final stage of a complete implementation of the wireless network. Validation Survey verifies both the coverage provided by access points and the optimal operation of the wireless network. It is done by browsing the entire location with the help of Ekahau Survey software, to perform a passive inspection of the site. Information on coverage from existing PAs is collected and mapped to a specific KPI.
Signal strength, SNR, data rates and co-channel interference are measured and plotted.

If problems arise, a remedial plan with recommendations is part of the delivery report. The following information about the current network is required to perform a Validation Survey: AP location map, access point name / number, access point radio MAC address, SSID broadcast across the wireless network, current wireless controller configuration. Validation Survey can be performed with different KPIs which usually fall into one of the following three categories: Data Grade, Voice Grade and Location Grade.
