    The key takeaways from the document are that a WLAN site survey is conducted to determine a customer's wireless networking needs through an interview process and by assessing capacity, coverage, existing infrastructure and security requirements. The site survey results in various documents and reports being generated along with recommendations for hardware placement and network configuration.

    The WLAN site survey interview is conducted to determine the needs and requirements of the target organization such as business needs, capacity and coverage requirements, details about any existing wireless network, infrastructure connectivity requirements, security expectations and needs for guest access.

    Factors that need to be considered for capacity and coverage requirements include the types of data applications used, user density and peak usage times, any existing transmitters, whether users will be portable or mobile, and backward compatibility with older devices. User behavior and the physical environment need to be understood.
