When it comes to surveying and mapping Wi-Fi networks, having the right tools can make all the difference. An access point on stick (APOS) is an essential tool for any Wi-Fi surveyor. It allows Wi-Fi professionals to quickly and accurately map out a network’s coverage area, identify trouble spots where signal strength may be weak, and configure their access points for optimal performance.
What is an Access Point on a Stick?
An APOS is essentially a portable access point with the same features of the to planned access point for the deployment. This makes them ideal for Wi-Fi surveys. They can easily be carried around, quickly set up and taken down. They are used in tight spaces or hard-to-reach places. APOS help emulate the exact location of a in production access point.
Benefits of Using an APOS
Using an APOS has many advantages when it comes to conducting Wi-Fi surveys. Firstly, Wi-Fi surveyors can move them around easily in to survey different areas of the network. Secondly, their adjustable antennas allow you to customize your signal strength for each location you are surveying. Finally, APOSs allow you to predict the coverage throughout your area of coverage without installing any access point.
If you need to conduct a Wi-Fi survey or map out your network’s coverage area, then using an access point on stick is the way to go. These handy devices are easy to transport and set up, making them ideal for surveying tight spaces or hard-to-reach places. Plus, their adjustable antennas let you customize your signal strength for each location you are surveying – something that cannot be done with fixed access points. In short, if you want fast results from your next Wi-Fi survey project then using an APOS is definitely worth considering!
