SIDOS DEEP SURVEY
Enterprise Wi-Fi Validation Performed by Anyone On-Site
Validate Wi-Fi across hundreds or thousands of locations using a repeatable, 10-second, guided workflow with centralized expert analysis in Sidos Cloud.
Wi-Fi VALIDATION AT SCALE
We believe enterprise Wi-Fi validation should be continuous, repeatable, and cost-effective. Our goal is to give small network teams the tools to validate performance at scale, using anyone in the field to capture professional-grade data while expert-led analysis is managed centrally.
HOW IT WORKS
The Expert Stays. The Sidos Wave Travels.
Define the survey locations, send the Sidos Wave to any site, let anyone capture data, and have your experts centrally review and monitor everything.
STEP 1
Define the Validation Plan
Your network team creates and places location pins in Sidos Cloud to define exactly where Wi-Fi performance must be validated. This creates a consistent, repeatable testing blueprint for every site.
Pin-based • Repeatable • Expert-defined
STEP 2
Assign to a Sidos Wave
The Deep Survey is assigned to a Sidos Wave device. After a quick sync, all test locations automatically appear on the device. The device is then mailed to the designated location.
Automatic Sync • No On-site Configuration
STEP 3
Survey On-site (Anyone)
The on-site person walks to each location, taps the location pin on the touchscreen, and Sidos Wave captures a full measurement set in about 10 seconds. This continues until all assigned pins are complete.
Pin-based • Repeatable • Expert-defined
STEP 4
Review and Analyze (Experts)
Results sync to Sidos Cloud, where experts can review heat maps, detailed metrics, differential results, and clear Pass/Fail ratings based on predefined validation profiles.
AI Heatmaps • Pass/Fail validation • Custom Profiles
BENEFITS FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION
No-compromise, Cost-effective Wi-Fi Validation
Deep Surveys lower the cost of validating your sites, make the process fully repeatable, and provide better visibility and proactive detection of issues before they impact operations.
Lower Costs of Validation
Reduce time and costs by eliminating the need to send experts on-site, allowing anyone to collect the data.
Repeatable at Any Scale
Use the same expert-defined workflow across every location for consistent results.
Proactive Issue Detection
Detect performance issues sooner by validating more often and with greater consistency.
BENEFITS FOR YOUR TEAM
Empower Your Team To Do More
Deep Surveys empowers your team by enabling experts to focus on higher-impact work, enforce consistent standards, and maintain the visibility needed to manage your network proactively.
Do More With the Team You Already Have
Deep Survey reduces the need for your core team to travel, freeing your experts to focus on more value-added tasks.
Faster, Better Decision-Making
Experts get consistent data from each site, removing guesswork and accelerating problem diagnosis and troubleshooting.
Stronger Visibility Across Your Network
Deep Survey centralizes results from every site, giving your team clearer insight into trends and emerging issues before they become disruptions.
Deep Surveys vs. Classic Site Surveys
Two Survey Methods, One Complete Picture
Deep Surveys provide continuous validation and can be used independently, with extra features unlocked when combined with Classic Site Surveys.
| Classic Site Surveys | Sidos Deep Survey | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Purpose | Detailed RF assessment for design, optimization, or major troubleshooting. | Fast, repeatable process to get accurate RF assessment for design, optimization or major troubleshooting. |
| Who Performs It | Wi-Fi experts, trained technicians. | Anyone on-site — techs, installers, contractors, or any non-expert staff. |
| Skill Level Required | High — requires prior knowledge of survey techniques | Low — guided workflow and automated measurement. |
| Role in Your Workflow | Provides deeper RF insight and can serve as a reference point or baseline. | Works standalone or can be compared to Classic Surveys and prior Deep Surveys. |
| Data Collected | Full heatmaps of RF coverage, interference analysis, and AP placement insights. | Full heatmaps of RF coverage. Pin-based, easily repeatable measurements that provide deep real-world detail at each location. |
| Speed of Data Collection | Slower, requires walking the entire site, highly detailed. | Very fast — about 10 seconds per pin. |
| Scalability | Scaling requires expert travel and time on-site. | Scales effortlessly to hundreds of sites by sending the device instead of the expert. |
| Training Burden | High — requires formal training and experience. | Minimal — learn in minutes with guided workflows. |
| Cost | High — dependent on specialized labor and travel costs. | Low ongoing cost per survey. |
| Best For | Designing networks, validating new builds, solving complex RF issues, periodic baselines. | Validating networks, catching drift, detecting changes over time, proactive assurance. |
| How They Work Together | Provide the detailed baseline Sidos AI uses to build an accurate digital twin for deeper RF context and comparison. | Data from a few pins can be compared to the full survey baseline, and Sidos AI can even generate full heatmaps from Deep Survey measurements. |
HOW IT WORKS AT SCALE
Why Deep Survey Is Different
Distributed Data Collection
Guided workflows enable non-experts to collect consistent, repeatable measurements in real-world environments without requiring RF training or travel.
Centralized Expert Control
Experts define survey locations, thresholds, and validation rules, then centrally review results across sites to ensure consistency and quality.
Continuous Visibility Over Time
Frequent Deep Surveys reveal changes over time, enable AI-generated heatmaps, and surface issues early before users feel them.
IN SIDOS CLOUD
Everything You Need to Understand Every Site.
See coverage, verify configuration, track changes, and drill into individual pin locations without being on-site.
See and Compare Real-World Performance
Visually compare Deep Survey data against your classic survey or digital twin to reveal changes in coverage. Instantly spot areas that need attention across any location.
Verify Each Site Using Expert-Defined Profiles
Deep Surveys automatically evaluate each location’s configuration and RF health using expert-defined profiles. Track compliance over time and pinpoint issues before they affect users.
Drill Into Any Location for Full Technical Detail
Get BSSID-level insights, RSSI, channel usage, SNR, throughput estimations, and more. Experts gain the full context they need without ever setting foot on-site.
