data throughput test

Ideally, what should the next step be after you complete the wireless local area network (WLAN) site survey and provide the survey results in a report to the customer?

A wireless consulting firm should be given the site survey report so that it will then be able to provide effective information on equipment purchasing and security solutions

How would you use a laptop computer, tablet, or cell phone when performing a site survey for a wireless local area network (WLAN)?

By checking for signal strength and coverage areas while roaming around the facility.

What information should be gathered during the wireless local area network (WLAN) site survey in a convention center for an upcoming trade show?
