Field Survey

A field survey can be performed for a number of reasons. Maybe you would like to implement a wireless network, additional to an existing wireless network and which could result in interference. Or maybe you would like to know the performance of the existing network and would like to extend that. Or you would like to increase the performance of your network. But even when you have no wireless network yet it doesn’t mean your new network won’t be interfered with by disturbance source. In all cases there are two basic technical reasons:

• Get information about all sources of disturbances. Who are they, where are they, what impact have they, how can I lower their impact? In an industrial environment there are lots of special disturbances. An example is a wireless I/O system.
• Get information about obstacles. It is quiet easy to determine the impact of a metal cabinet in an office or a separation wall. They have been measured many times so their effects can be calculated upfront and put in a simulation model. In a industrial environment there is a lot of metal used to construct the plant itself and in the pipes and machinery. The variation in disturbances is so huge that no models exists and measuring is the only solution

CoSo has the specialists and the equipment to perform a full field survey and put the data in an understandable report, in which the advice is explained based on the measuring results and based on our experience in an industrial environment.
