Site Survey

Site surveys are an important part of planning a secure wireless network. In this assignment, you will conduct a visual assessment of a familiar environment in order to produce a site survey. 

Perform a basic assessment of a familiar environment (e.g., your home, work, or a local business).

Identify the following: 

• Your goal (e.g., provide wireless coverage for a two-story house with two desktop computers and a printer)
• Possible sources of interference
• Existing wireless infrastructure
• Potential access point placement
• Potential antenna placement
• Potential equipment and supporting equipment

Note: You may provide photographs to support the site survey. 

Based on your visual inspection of the site, create a 1- to 2-page site survey. Provide your conclusions from your assessment and detail the following: 

• Methods of gathering information
• Information gathered
• Possible sources of interference
• Existing wireless infrastructure
• Recommendations for access point and antenna placement
• Recommendations for equipment and supporting equipment
