Site Survey - Attenuation on glass-crystal walls

[rponte]

Hi pros,

I am doing a Planning Site Survey with Ekahau and i have a doubt. I have Walls that are made with glass or crystal in the office and i dont know how many dbm does this wall attenuate to put it on Ekahau.

Attached an example.

I will be glad if you can help me with it.

Thanks pros.

Glass is estimated to be 2-3 dBm but all you need to do is run a few tests whilst standing either side of the glass to gain an accurate measurement of that specific material/build and use it as a custom wall in Ekahau.

This article explains measuring it quite well:

Thank you very much.

I think in do it that test but the site is in other country, but i will do it with any wall near to me.

Thanks again!
