Site Survey
Site Survey General Description
The ALTA® Wireless Site Survey Tool helps you plan the placement of ALTA Wireless Sensors by measuring the strength and quality of the radio frequency (RF) signal from an ALTA Gateway.
Key Features
Measures the strength and quality of the RF signal from an ALTA® or ALTA XL® Gateway.
Reports: Pass, Poor or Fail
Principles of Operation
The ALTA® Site Survey Tool helps you plan the placement of ALTA Wireless Sensors by measuring the strength and quality of the radio frequency (RF) signal from an ALTA® Gateway or ALTA XL® Gateway. With the Site Survey Tool, you can assess every square foot of your facility or site for the ideal locations to install your sensors. After a quick signal test, the tool?s LCD reports the average TRUESIGNAL? and Pass, Poor, or Fail based on your preferred signal reliability setting. The TRUESIGNAL is calculated from the wireless signal strength and the amount of wireless interference measured at the test location. This data will help you optimize data communications throughout your Internet of Things (IoT) network.
The iMonnit dashboards will also present the data points related to your testing. You can configure the tool's customizable test settings and review an advanced reading log online. Choose your signal reliability settings' Mission-Critical, Strong, or Functional? according to your environment, use case, and how frequently and reliably your sensors need to send data.
