Installing the Wi-Fi Array
Coverage and Capacity Planning
This section considers coverage and capacity for your deployment(s), including
placement options, RF patterns and cell sizes, area calculations, roaming
considerations, and channel allocations.
Placement
Use the following guidelines when considering placement options:
1.
The best placement option for the Array is ceiling-mounted within an
open plan environment (cubicles rather than fixed walls).
2.
Keep the Array away from electrical devices or appliances that generate
RF noise. Because the Array is generally mounted on ceilings, be aware of
its position relative to lighting (especially fluorescent lighting)—we
recommend maintaining a distance of at least 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters).
3.
If using multiple Arrays in the same area, maintain a distance of at least
100 ft/30m between Arrays if there is direct line-of-sight between the
units, or at least 50 ft/15m if a wall or other barrier exists between the
units.
