DESCRIPTION
- Small cells survey in LA warehouse building- Design created including AP location,
network equipment and cable routing- RSSI prediction to determine AP coverage- 7 floors surveyed in approx. 2 hours
BENEFITS
- Significant time savings (estimated 10 hours)- Single site visit for survey, planning, design- Viewing prediction ensures sufficient APs- Skip detailed engineering step for small venues.

• SCOPE OF VISIT: - Decommission existing Repeater Module. - Integrate a Small Cell with a new Repeater system- Document the Small Cell installation.
• SITE VISIT HIGHLIGHTS:- Conduct Pre and Post walk test to document improvement- On the spot RF verification of Small Cell location with Plots (RSRP)- iBwave Mobile Planner with Solutelia WINd solution to document, walk test and create plots - Easy way to import Floor Plans and document as-built
• KEY WINS:- Confidence on the field generating RF plots and validating with the walk test- Saving time with documentation for current and future use- Easy way to share this information with Internal teams (i.e. Scope of Work)
