Explanation
A predictive (passive) survey tool like AirMagnet Planner/Survey in predictive mode uses a floor plan import and RF propagation modeling to calculate optimal AP placement without requiring a technician to physically walk the entire space. This is the fastest method because no on-site walking is needed while still producing accurate placement recommendations. AirMagnet Survey Pro (D) in active mode requires walking the entire coverage area with a laptop, which is more thorough but much slower. Cisco Spectrum Analyzer and Spectrum Expert (B, C) are Layer 1 interference detection tools, not AP placement design tools.
