Course Overview

The site survey course is designed to familiarize you with the crucial RF and venue-specific data collection and organization needed for successful project execution. We'll place a significant focus on understanding the existing RF environment, considering both macro noise interference and signal propagation behaviors throughout the target areas. By delivering a comprehensive inventory of the physical site, planners are aided in obtaining accurate estimates for bills of materials that the models generate. Those can then be used to create cost estimates and quality assessments of the initiative at every stage.

Intended Audiences

  • In-building technologists and project managers
  • DAS equipment manufacturers and test equipment manufacturers
  • Personnel who desire to refresh and advance their understanding of In-building site surveys
