Does the procedure for a site survey change if there are voice-based applications in a Wireless LAN (WLAN) network?
A. With the introduction of voice to a predominantly wireless data network, the methodology of site surveys needs to be altered. Surveying for Wireless voice coverage requires more effort and time than for data-only coverage at the same site. A voice survey requires planning of coverage plus the planning of capacity. Wireless data is less susceptible to disruption than Wireless voice when it comes to cell overlap, radio frequency (RF) noise, and packet delay. Refer to Recommendations for Successful VoIP Surveys for more information on how to perform a site survey for voice based WLAN.
