Create a Strong Wireless Infrastructure for Your Business with Activo

Activo provides several different wireless site surveys to meet your needs at various stages—from planning through to design, implementation, and maintenance—each providing you with a comprehensive report including heat maps, our findings, and our recommendations.

Predictive Survey

This type of survey is ideal for new builds, budgetary purposes, or more simple implementations. Our team of wireless professionals will use your building’s floorplans to create your environment virtually with planned AP locations and their intended parameters. This enables us to predict measurements and assess coverage throughout your facility.

Passive Survey

A passive survey is used to assess the infrastructure you already have and determine non-Wi-Fi interference, gaps in signal coverage, throughput, channel interference, and more. It is well suited if WLAN is already in place and for shared office buildings.

Active Survey

This survey is used for post-installations, during a WLAN expansion, to troubleshoot, and during a conventional survey. Our wireless network professionals will collect data to assess RSSI, channel overlap, co-channel interference, retry and loss rates, and more.

Conventional Survey

A conventional wireless survey is the most comprehensive planning tool available. It gives our wireless professionals the ability to collect true RF information about neighbouring networks, non-Wi-Fi interference, and true signal propagation and is often used during pre-installation phases and to take into consideration the physical environment and RF behaviours.

In general, on-site surveys (active and conventional) are easier to perform in urban or semi-urban settings whereas off-site surveys (predictive and passive) might be more suitable for remote locations.

The most common equipment Activo leases as part of a wireless as a service arrangement are access points, with the cost for the hardware spread over the length of the service contract.

Our WLAN service offerings include:

• Unmanaged WLAN, suitable for small-scale deployments and smaller budgets.
• On-premise WLAN is common among enterprise and mid-sized business customers.
• Cloud WLAN is ideal for organizations of all types and sizes (small, medium, and enterprise) including campuses, hospitality providers, restaurants, public venues, kiosks, and more.
• Point-to-point (or multipoint) solutions are employed when cabling is not possible.
