There are many complicated techniques that can be employed to measure the attenuation values of various building materials to use within a predictive RF design. As fun and exciting as they can be, this post will explain a process to measure wall attenuation using the latest release of the Ekahau Survey v2.0 app for iOS. This technique can be…
Have you ever been stumped trying to figure what wall attenuation value to simulate in your predictive RF designs? Have you wondered if reinforced concrete is “thicker” then a wall constructed with masonry bricks? The chart below summarizes relative attenuation values from common building materials as tested by NIST way back in 1997. Shockingly, concrete yields…
Extreme Site Survey AP Configuration This post captures useful commands when performing site surveys for configuring access points from Extreme Networks (formerly Aerohive). Sometimes events happen in the field and you need to factory reset or re-configure an AP in the middle of a site survey. What follows are some notes about relevant commands to configure an…
