A WiFi heatmap can be based on a set of wifi signal measurements from a site survey, or from a model and simulation of the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A heatmap may be based on real world measurements, by using a survey tool such as EMSlice to measure the wifi signal at many locations through an area of interest. Those measurements can be processed to build a map of the actual WiFi signal coverage and quality through the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A heatmap can be based on prediction, by building a model of the building or area of interest into an RF simulation software tool such as EMSlice and adding one or more wifi access points to the model, and running the simulations and calculations to predict the wifi signal coverage and quality throughout the environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does a surveyed wifi heatmap work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A surveyed WiFi heatmap works by using a laptop\u2019s wifi interface to listen for wifi signals that are available, and as the user moves through the environment, those captured signals are added to different locations around an environment of interest. Those captured signals are added to the environment to build up a map of the wifi signals available across the area. The resulting heatmap gives an indication of the coverage achieved by existing wifi networks in the area of interest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does a predicted wifi heatmap work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A predicted wifi heatmap is built on a model of the building including the walls, doors, windows, etc such that the wifi\/ radio propagation environment is understood. Once a model of the environment is build into a radio planning tool such as EMSlice, one or more wifi access points are added to the model and a set of simulations and calculations are done to predict the performance and coverage of the planned wifi network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The simulation is completed by a combination of ray tracing and path loss calculations among others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group has-text-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-cfaec34f wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:20px;color:#000000;background:linear-gradient(180deg,rgb(31,1,148) 0%,rgb(217,0,0) 100%);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Try EMSlice Today<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color\"><a data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"62\" href=\"https:\/\/www.emslice.com\/index.php\/solutions\/\">Click here<\/a> for options to get our EM Simulation Software for simulation, modelling &amp; analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.emslice.com\/index.php\/download\/\">Get EMSlice Now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What else is possible?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For heatmapping of networks in outdoor\/ urban or rural areas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emslice.com\/index.php\/urban-wifi\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"66\">click here<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For wireless network analysis other than heatmapping, such as propagation analysis and other communication scenarios <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emslice.com\/index.php\/wireless-networks\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"68\">click here<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WiFi planning, heatmapping, site survey and analysis is essential for planning and supporting indoor WiFi networks.
