About This Project
The Network Operations team is performing passive RF validation surveys to expand WiFi 6 network coverage to areas that do not meet WiFi 6 coverage standards. WiFi 6 adds flexibility, speed, and increased security to the wireless network. The site surveys are created using Ekahau Site Survey wireless tools and software. The surveys collect information, including signal strength, signal-to-noise ratios, and other data sets to help produce visual outputs of the current wireless network coverage. The Network Operations team assesses the surveys and then will expand to areas that need improved WiFi coverage.
