An audit should be conducted when serious connectivity issues occur, such as poor call quality, network outages, or slow communication. These problems can disrupt business operations and should be addressed promptly. Before investing in new technology, businesses should first identify existing issues through a connectivity audit, which can reveal ways to enhance current systems and ensure they remain effective in the future.
Enhancing Network Performance through Telecom Data Insights
Conducting a connectivity audit is the most effective way of identifying and resolving issues that may impact communication within a business. Both outdoor and indoor signal strength is measured, and connection quality assessed to ensure robust communication. The audit should focus on measuring:
- Signal Level: Understanding the strength of the incoming signal is fundamental to identifying connectivity issues.
- Signal Quality: Evaluating the quality of the signal helps determine its reliability.
- Signal Frequencies: Analyzing the frequencies provides insight into potential interference and performance.
- 2G-3G-4G-5G Technology: Assessing call quality and data performance.
This information is aggregated using several devices, including phones connected to a tablet, which allows the simultaneous performance analyses of different providers. By measuring both indoor and outdoor conditions, a benchmark can be established that highlights areas for improvement.
Choosing the Right Connectivity Audit App
The WAVETHRU audit follows a meticulous protocol that includes measuring signal strength and quality, as well as analysing frequencies to map the current telecom performances. Advanced measuring tools and proprietary software developed by WAVE by AGC, designed to provide accurate results, are used during the procedure. The audit tool can connect multiple operators and assess signal strength simultaneously for each one of them. This is especially useful as data can vary from one provider to another due to the differences in infrastructure, the technology used, and the network coverage. Each provider may have unique characteristics that influence signal quality and performance.
The audit also includes measuring connectivity outside the building, to establish a benchmark for analyzing the results. It is important to remember that it will never be possible to improve the level of connectivity inside the building beyond the level of connectivity that is available outside.
The WAVETHRU audit tools are a powerful solution that facilitates connectivity audits and in-depth data analysis. It offers a user-friendly interface to monitor performance and streamline recommendations.
In addition to WAVE audit tools, we offer a second type of audit based on NEMO outdoor tools from KEYSIGHT. This involves a backpack composed of several pieces of equipment such as specific phones and a RF scanner. These tools provide a full overview of telecom KPIs. It offers also continuous acquisition of data over time during the measurements. An additional post-processing provides a deep analysis of the measurement.
The results are then evaluated to best address the areas to enhance and to ensure optimal performance.
The audit adds real added value by providing targeted recommendations to improve connectivity. This helps businesses optimize their resources and ensures their communication remains smooth and effective.
After the audit, a detailed technical report is provided to guarantee clients receive informed advice for their connectivity needs.
Some recent use cases reflecting on the benefits an audit can bring to your business are available on the WAVE by AGC website, check them out here:
Considering Important Factors
A key concern in the world of connectivity is the impact of electromagnetic waves on health. This is something we explored in greater detail here. WAVETHRU not only improves connectivity but also aims to mitigate any potential adverse effects by optimizing the signal level. A low signal level can cause the phone to increase its transmission power, resulting in higher exposure to electromagnetic waves.
Another is what operations are relying on. Precise connectivity mapping for each of the technologies from 2G to 5G at multiple points within a single building enables the building manager to make the right connectivity investment decisions. For instance, operators often phase out older technologies like 2G and 3G, but many facilities, such as nursing homes, still rely on these for essential communication.
Future Facing
While a connectivity audit is a vital first step in identifying and resolving issues that may hinder communication, businesses should then explore ways to significantly enhance their internal connectivity, allowing for better performance and reliability.
By embracing the insights provided by our game-changing WAVETHRU audit technology, that takes only one day to complete, organizations can navigate the connectivity complexities with confidence and clarity, and take relevant action to support their future operations.
Beyond offering an audit service, WAVETHRU also provides a comprehensive service line dedicated to enhancing connectivity by improving electromagnetic wave penetration, and thus provides a smoother and more reliable user experience.
In addition to being cost-effective, multi-operator, and maintenance-free, WAVETHRU offers users connectivity that is 5 to 10 times more efficient without any energy costs. The operating procedure also includes a post-treatment audit of the glass using WAVETHRU technology. This second assessment evaluates performance improvements for each operator across different technologies, from 2G to 5G, while also measuring data transfer efficiency.
