Hello Carlos,
Site Survey is not black magic, many companies request it before the
wireless deployment, so that they can produce a bill of materials, I believe
it is essential to master concepts regarding to the site survey, in order to
be a true wireless expert. This will save more dollars in the long run,
because you have done proper research ahead of time. Yes the
hardware/software is very expensive. If you have experience please contact
me offline.
Sincerely,
John
