The Intel® PRO/Wireless LAN Site Survey Utility allows you to measure the signal strength,

transmission rate and the number of successfully transmitted packets. This step in the site survey

involves mounting access points and antennas in the proposed locations and measuring the RF signal

strength, transmission rate and packet throughput.
