Installing a Single Access Point
You can install a single access point when wireless station
populations, system transaction rates, and coverage
requirements permit. Following are some factors to
consider:
"
For large coverage areas, it is necessary to locate the
access point optimally to maximize coverage.
"
At sites where the structure and operations within
provide a uniform RF signal propagation environment,
the location is generally centralized within the facility.
"
For nonuniform sites, the location needs to be adjusted
for best coverage.
"
For small sites, location is less critical and may be
adjusted to minimize LAN wiring.
Location of S-UHF access points within computer rooms is
not recommended, because RF emissions from the higher
speed processors used in current generation computers may
reduce system range.
Installing Multiple Access Points
Multiple access points can extend coverage, reuse a
frequency, and increase system throughput.
Extending Coverage
Multiple access points may be installed to extend coverage.
Figure D-1 shows an installation where maximizing
coverage is the main objective.
" NOTE: A site survey is required for this type of installation.
