Model the Access Points
You now determine how many APs are required to cover your building with a specified data
transfer rate and overlap.
In this example, you use the Coverage Model. The following assumptions are made about the
performance of the WLAN:
Radio Types: a/b/g
Overlap factor: Medium (150%)
802.11a desired rate: 48 Mbps
802.11b desired rate: 48 Mbps
To model the access points:
1. Select 801.11 a|b|g from the Radio Type drop-down menu.
2. Select Medium from the Overlap Factor drop-down menu.
Notice that the percentage show at the left of the drop-down menu changes to 150%.
3. Select 48 from the 802.11 b|g Desired Rate drop-down menu.
4. Select 48 from the 801.11 a Desired Rate drop-down menu.
Notice that the number of required APs has changed to 9. (Figure 4-24)
5. Click Save, then Apply.
