Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Ekahau Site Survey + Tablet

[Jake Snyder]

In terms of strain, I've tried every commercially available harness.  And I've 
found that you can't beat the laws of physics.  That strain is placed somewhere 
on your body.

Holding the laptop puts it on your arms and wrists.  The harness just move that 
to your shoulders and back.  I will alternate days between holding and a 
harness, but by Friday I am generally sore all over.

Now if only I had a Segway

Thanks

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Ekahau Site Survey + Tablet

[Jon Scot Prunckle]

All,


FWIW, we went the opposite direction in terms of machine [ease of] portability 
and have had very good results with ESS Pro.  We're currently using three Dell 
Latitude E6430 series with i7 processors, 16GB RAM (and an SSD hard drive on 
one) with Win 7 Pro.  The machines are docked when not in use and are 
accessible by RDP...allows us to do our analysis and what-have-you directly on 
the machines.


We've contrived field harnesses for the survey technicians to wear to hold the 
laptops to avoid strain.  We used to insist on using wheeled carts, but, 
understandably, a number of the technicians found the carts obtrusive.


Either way, we've been very happy with Ekahau in terms of responsiveness to 
user needs and feature requests as well as producing an excellent piece of 
software.

We’re currently using the Surface Pro 3 for conducting wireless surveys with 
Ekahau. Works great. I would recommend getting an external USB hub that you can 
velcro to it. I find that the USB port is a little finicky. If I nudge the USB 
adapter I sometimes have issues causing me to restart Ekahau.



I use the pen during the survey and found it much more useful than using a

I also recommend using a bluetooth or USB mouse for analyzing the survey while

Good afternoon,



I was wondering if anyone out there was running Ekahau’s site survey software 
on a tablet and which ones that they’ve had good luck with. I’m looking at a 
Surface Pro 3, but I wonder if the Pro 2 would be sufficient. Of course, I’ll 
take cheaper alternatives if there are any!



Thanks,

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Ekahau Site Survey + Tablet

[Jason Cook]

We've been using an Motion J3500 for our surveys, probably not suitable as it's 
going to be considerably more costly than the surface but we did it purely for 
battery reasons. There's dual hot-swappable batteries plus we have a charger 
and a 3rd batter going. This way we can do survey's all day should we need 
without having to break for charging. We also disable hand recognition and use 
the pen for accuracy.

They are quite heavy though so we use one of these http://connect-a-desk.com/

Have also had a number of issues with USB connectivity loss causing issues with 
needing to restart ESS. A USB extension lead and Velcro cable ties can help 
quite a bit.

I was wondering if anyone out there was running Ekahau's site survey software 
on a tablet and which ones that they've had good luck with. I'm looking at a 
Surface Pro 3, but I wonder if the Pro 2 would be sufficient. Of course, I'll 
take cheaper alternatives if there are any!

Thanks,
Eric

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Ekahau Site Survey + Tablet

[Eric T. Barnett]

So the Surface Pro 3 so far. I'm really just looking at using this for active 
surveys. I can do analysis on my laptop.

Thanks for the responses so far!

We're currently using the Surface Pro 3 for conducting wireless surveys with 
Ekahau. Works great. I would recommend getting an external USB hub that you can 
velcro to it. I find that the USB port is a little finicky. If I nudge the USB 
adapter I sometimes have issues causing me to restart Ekahau.

I use the pen during the survey and found it much more useful than using a 
trackpad or your finger. I don't use the keyboard attached to the surface 
during surveys.

I also recommend using a bluetooth or USB mouse for analyzing the survey while 
at your desk. I still haven't gotten used to using the removable keyboard/cover 
we got with it.
