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 to measure the wifi signal at many locations through an area of interest. Those measurements can be processed to build a map of the WiFi signal coverage and quality throughout the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A heatmap can be based on prediction, by building a model of the area of interest into an RF simulation software tool, and adding one or more wifi access points to the model, and running the simulations and calculations to predict the wifi signal 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\">WiFi heatmapping from simulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following is a quick overview of an urban WiFi plan and heatmap generation from simulation only.

A predicted wifi heatmap will help in planning the network, to know what resources etc will be required to deliver the desired coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A surveyed wifi heatmap will indicate where a wifi network is giving good performance, ie good signal strength, and where the signal is weak or of lower power, identifying deadspots, etc. A surveyed wifi heatmap can also be used to validate that an installed network is performing as expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\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 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\n\n\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 urban environment, buildings, walls, fences, vehicles, and other terrain 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 then 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\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<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What else is possible?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For heatmapping of indoor WiFi networks  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emslice.com\/index.php\/indoor-wifi\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"50\">click here<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For heatmapping of networks other than WiFi <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emslice.com\/index.php\/wireless-networks\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"68\">click here<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is a wifi coverage heatmap?
