Ekahau Project File With Survey Data.

Ekahau project file with full survey data and access point placement

Part of WiFi Surveys (Ekahau). Last reviewed October 2026.

Quick answer

What is Ekahau Project File With Survey Data?

An Ekahau project file is the editable .esx package that holds your calibrated floor plans, wall attenuation types, measured survey data, and access point placement in one place. Deploris delivers it at handover, so your team can reopen it in Ekahau AI Pro, re-run predictions, and revise the design without repeating the survey.

WHAT THE WORK COVERS

What Ekahau Project File With Survey Data includes.

  • 01Calibrated floor plans with scale reference and wall material types assigned per wall segment
  • 02Raw survey measurements tied to floor plan coordinates, including Wi-Fi scan data and Sidekick spectrum captures
  • 03Planned or surveyed access point objects with model, radio, channel, transmit power, mounting height, and tilt
  • 04Requirement profiles for the agreed coverage, capacity, and application targets
  • 05Survey areas, exclusion zones, and notes pinned to the plan where conditions affected the result
  • 06Photos attached to access point and obstruction markers where site access allowed

HOW WE DELIVER IT

How it is delivered.

  1. 1

    Build the model

    We import your plans, set the scale, and draw walls, floors, and obstructions with the correct attenuation types so the model reflects how the building behaves.

  2. 2

    Collect measurements

    Our field engineer walks the agreed areas with the survey kit, capturing Wi-Fi and spectrum data against the plan while logging anything that distorts readings.

  3. 3

    Reconcile and tag

    We compare measured data against the model, correct wall types where they were wrong, and label every access point with its intended role and location.

  4. 4

    Hand over the file

    The final .esx file is delivered with a short change log and the engagement manager confirms your team can open it in the version of Ekahau AI Pro you run.

INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

What you provide and what you receive.

You provide

  • Scaled floor plans in DWG, PDF, or image format, with the current revision marked
  • Wall, ceiling, and window construction details, or access to someone who knows them
  • Written coverage, capacity, and application targets such as voice, scanners, or video
  • The Ekahau AI Pro version your team uses, so the file is saved in a compatible format

You receive

  • The editable Ekahau .esx project file with all survey data and access point placement
  • A change log listing wall type corrections, calibration notes, and open assumptions
  • A short handover note on how to open, filter, and re-run reports from the file
  • A file your team can reuse for future moves, adds, and changes, as agreed in the written scope

WHEN IT FITS

When this is the right deliverable.

Scenario 01

Your network team wants to own the wireless design and edit it in house after the consultants leave.

Scenario 02

An integrator or managed service provider will install the network and needs the same model the design was built on.

Scenario 03

You expect floor plan changes, tenant moves, or access point refreshes and want to re-predict coverage without starting from scratch.

WHERE WE DELIVER

Delivered in 75+ metros across 11 countries.

Local, vetted engineers deliver this work on site across the United States and Western Europe, coordinated by one engagement manager.

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions.

What is inside an Ekahau .esx project file?
An .esx file bundles floor plans, wall and obstruction types, access point objects with radio settings, requirement profiles, and any measured survey data. It is a single portable package, so anyone with a compatible Ekahau AI Pro license can inspect the design and rebuild reports from it.
Can we edit the Ekahau project file after the survey?
Yes. The file is delivered in editable form. Your team can move access points, change channel plans, add floors, or swap AP models and recalculate heatmaps. Edits need an Ekahau AI Pro license on your side, and predictions only stay reliable if wall types remain correct.
Do I get the raw survey data or only a PDF report?
You get both. The PDF summarizes findings for readers, while the .esx file carries the measurements and the model behind them. Having the source file lets your own engineers or a second reviewer verify conclusions instead of trusting charts they cannot trace.
Which Ekahau versions can open the delivered file?
Current Ekahau AI Pro releases open .esx files, and older files can usually be upgraded on open. Tell us your installed version before the survey and we save and test the handover against it. Files saved by newer versions may not open in older software.
