Empower Your Business with Comprehensive IT Site Surveys!

Accurate IT & Telecom Site Surveys for Proactive Network Planning

Optimizing your network is a proactive process that evolves as your business grows and technology advances. An accurate IT Site Survey will provide you with the information needed to make future plans that align with your overall business strategy. If you rely on a salesperson for an IT Site Survey, they might sell you products. However, with a service-only team like IT Tech Force, you’ll enter vendor discussions equipped to advocate for your company’s best outcomes.

IT Site Surveys by IT Tech Force

IT Tech Force’s IT Site Survey doesn’t just give you an accurate inventory; it also allows you to track the condition and challenges of your network’s hardware. In this instance, knowledge is power. Understanding your network’s strengths and potential challenges can help you prevent unforeseen outages and lost revenue. Our IT Site Survey includes not only a basic inventory but also equipment locations matched with your buildings’ schematics—because physical space impacts your network.

An IT Site Survey helps you stay ahead of disruptions. Consider

• Cat 6 Ethernet cable: When used for 10/100/1000BASE-T, has a maximum effective length of 100 meters (328 ft). We modify those numbers to ensure max-effectiveness includes no more than 90 meters (295 ft) of horizontal cabling between the panel and wall jack, and another 5 meters (16 ft) between each jack and its device.

• Wi-Fi: Needs to work within its physical confines, taking into account wall-insulation material, competing digital signals, and even the break-room’s microwave when placing Wireless Access Points (APs).

IT Site Surveys are the Key to Successful Installations

At IT Tech Force, IT Site Surveys are a critical step when evaluating hardware installations for new construction, site renovations, and complex systems. They are designed to assess and evaluate the installation site to determine the most effective and efficient way to install a specific system or equipment.

Why IT Site Surveys are Important

• Identifying potential challenges before installation begins, including inadequate infrastructure, access issues, or environmental concerns.

• Ensuring safety during the installation process by identifying potential safety hazards such as electrical or fire risks.

• Ensuring the proper placement of equipment to maximize its efficiency and effectiveness.
