Can anyone point me to a vendor neutral white paper explaining the importance of performing wireless surveys before installation?

Thanks.

Ooh thats a toughy actually Darby, I usually look at the stuff on the AirMagnet website, I dont think I have seen a vendor neutral paper even jsut on the importance of surveys on here. There are a few resources on Wierless Lan Professionals

Below are some links to white papers

Umm...

You need money for a Wireless Project? A Site Survey and a Spectrum Analysis are the keys to success.

1. Conducted by an impartial 3rd Party subject matter expert.

2. Execs tend to understand and heed things they pay for - it's a layer 8 thing.

3. Why would anyone start the purchasing process with a formal needs analysis for any project - how can you ask properly for a budget?
