Desktop and Site Survey, Radio and Microwave
Radio Frequency (RF) Modelling is used to predict coverage for new or existing radio transmitter sites. Using sophisticated software and accurate terrain data, we can accurately predict the expected coverage areas of an RF network. Our technicians use software analysis to enable various parameters, including antenna height, antenna gain, transmit power, and frequency to be modelled, which allows us to optimise the RF network design to provide the required coverage.
We also use RF analysis tools to assist design for Cel-Fi booster and microwave point-to-point networks. Using software analysis and RF mapping and spectrum analysis tools, our technicians are able to provide full on-the-ground coverage maps for your RF network and/or cellular requirements.
Wi-Fi Mapping & Audits
Wi-Fi systems play an important part in business operations in the digital age, which is why PCA has developed a range of solutions to support operations in both office and camp accommodation and ensure the best coverage and throughput for your business needs.
Wi-Fi Mapping (Heat Mapping)
A Wi-Fi heat map assesses the coverage of your Wi-Fi network. It can identify specific areas lacking in coverage, and which areas with a strong and dependable signal strength.
A Wi-Fi heat map can:
- Identify Wi-Fi dead zones
- Eradicate slow Wi-Fi speeds
- Provide a visual and written report of both coverage and performance
- Assist with identifying Wi-Fi network issues and improve coverage
- Assess the effectiveness of the installation design
Wi-Fi Audits
PCA can also provide Wi-Fi audit services to review your existing Wi-Fi network. This review includes coverage and performance maps and identification of problem areas or incorrect configuration, and can provide recommendations for supporting the lifecycle of your Wi-Fi network. By identifying problems areas and providing recommendations, PCA’s Wi-Fi audit can improve the coverage, performance, and reliability of your Wi-Fi network.
