When to Use Predictive Survey or Heat mapping?
Network Expansion:
When you’re expanding an existing network to cover additional areas, predictive surveys help assess the impact on your current network and plan for effective expansion.
Site Pre-Assessment:
Before physically visiting a site for a survey, conducting a predictive survey can provide preliminary insights into the network requirements, helping surveyors prepare adequately.
Remote Locations:
In remote or difficult-to-access locations, a predictive survey can serve as an initial assessment without the need for on-site visits, saving time and resources.
Budgeting and Planning:
Predictive surveys assist in creating accurate budgets and project plans by estimating the hardware, labor, and time needed for network installations.
Critical Infrastructure:
For critical infrastructure sites, such as data centers, hospitals, or military installations, predictive surveys ensure network reliability and performance are optimized from the outset.
Regulatory Compliance:
Industries with specific regulatory requirements can benefit from predictive surveys to demonstrate compliance with network coverage and performance standards.
Wireless Network Redesign:
If you’re planning to redesign an existing wireless network for improved performance, a predictive survey can help assess how changes will impact network coverage.
Large-Scale Deployments:
Predictive surveys are ideal for large-scale deployments, such as city-wide Wi-Fi networks, where planning and optimizing coverage are paramount.
Network Performance Improvement:
If your existing network is underperforming, a predictive survey can help identify areas that need improvement and guide necessary changes.
Remote Troubleshooting:
In situations where on-site surveys are challenging to conduct, a predictive survey can serve as an initial troubleshooting step to identify potential issues.
Network Resilience Planning:
For organizations that require network resilience and redundancy, predictive surveys help plan for failover scenarios and backup network solutions.
