Surveys 📱
Introduction
The Surveys module in Amplifi-Qx serves as your central platform for managing and documenting mobile signal surveys across all client locations. Whether you're conducting preliminary site assessments or verifying successful installations, this powerful system helps maintain consistent survey standards while ensuring comprehensive signal analysis documentation.
Understanding Survey Types 🔍
Pre-Installation Surveys
Pre-installation surveys form the foundation of successful Amplifi-Qx deployments. During these comprehensive assessments, engineers examine both external and internal signal environments to design optimal coverage solutions. These surveys provide crucial insights into:
External Signal Analysis: By measuring signal strength from all major mobile network operators (MNOs) outside the building, engineers can determine the available signal that can be enhanced and distributed throughout the internal space. This baseline measurement is essential for system design and performance expectations.
Internal Coverage Assessment: A thorough examination of signal penetration throughout the building helps identify:
- Areas of weak or no coverage
- Structural elements affecting signal propagation
- Potential equipment placement locations
- Coverage requirements for different areas
- Specific challenges requiring attention
Post-Installation Surveys
After system deployment, post-installation surveys verify that the Amplifi-Qx solution meets design specifications and client requirements. These surveys systematically document:
Signal Enhancement: Comprehensive measurements demonstrate the improvement in signal strength and quality throughout the coverage area, confirming the effectiveness of the installed solution.
Coverage Verification: Engineers conduct detailed testing to ensure consistent coverage across all required areas, validating that the system meets client expectations and performance requirements.
The Survey Process 📊
Survey Creation
Surveys can be initiated through two primary methods:
- Direct Creation in Hub: Through the Add Survey interface, where you can specify essential details including:
- Survey title and type
- Client and site information
- Engineer assignments
- Survey template selection
- Specific requirements or notes
- Mobile App Integration: The preferred method utilises the Amplifi-Qx Pro mobile app, which streamlines the survey process by enabling:
- Real-time data collection
- On-site photo documentation
- Immediate result recording
- GPS location tracking
- Efficient workflow management
Result Management
The survey system employs a structured approach to result verification:
Draft Results: When conducted through the mobile app, survey readings initially enter the Hub as draft results. This stage allows for:
- Initial data review
- Result organisation
- Photo attachment verification
- Note completeness checking
- Preliminary analysis
Verification Process: Engineers can compare draft results against dedicated signal testing equipment (such as Siretta Snyper devices) to ensure accuracy. This verification step helps maintain high data quality standards and reliable documentation.
Survey Dashboard 📈
The Survey Dashboard provides comprehensive oversight of all survey activities. At a glance, you can monitor:
Survey Status: Track surveys at various stages, from draft creation through to completion, helping manage workflow and resource allocation effectively.
Recent Activity: Keep informed of the latest survey additions and updates, ensuring timely response to new survey requirements and completed assessments.
Performance Metrics: Monitor key statistics including:
- Total active surveys
- Draft surveys awaiting verification
- Completed surveys
- Team performance indicators
- Quality metrics
Integration Features 🔄
Mobile App Synchronisation
The Amplifi-Qx Pro mobile app seamlessly integrates with the Hub, providing:
Real-Time Updates: Survey data synchronises automatically when network connectivity is available, ensuring that information flows efficiently between field engineers and office-based teams.
Photo Documentation: Engineers can capture and attach relevant photos directly to survey readings, creating comprehensive visual documentation of site conditions and signal measurements.
Quality Control
The system maintains high standards through:
Result Verification: The two-stage process of draft results followed by verified measurements ensures accuracy and reliability in survey documentation.
Standardised Templates: Pre-configured survey templates ensure consistent data collection across different sites and survey types, maintaining professional standards throughout all assessments.
