let me pose a question and see if any of my 14 page views can get it answered.
Why under average conditions is it so necessary to do a planning site survey?
let me clarify a bit: a k12 school wants some wireless for one-to-one or byod. I know I need to be able to support about 25 devices in a room. I know therefore, roughly how many aps I need plus I am going to want TX power low as crap so one AP services one to 1 1/2 rooms. A controller will power the radios down to desired levels so its really just matter of plopping aps in the desired rooms with some pretty damned simple calculations - so what's the hype?
2.5 and 5ghz interference in an average building is pretty minimal, its not like there are busted ass microwaves all lover the place. It is so freakin cost in-effective to place survey cart APs and take readings that wont really do shit.
OMG I found a lead wall in this building, its so crazy I'm glad I spent weeks of travel doing this!
The only thing I got is VARs need to make money - screw VARs. I am so glad to be an independent consultant.
btw: post site surveys for design validation are not in question here - they are a must.
