Recommendations for Placement of the Wireless Access Point

The following are recommendations for the placement of the wireless access point and the
positioning of its antenna:
• The best location for the wireless access point is elevated, such as wall mounted or on
the top of a cubicle, at the center of your wireless coverage area, and within line of sight
of all the mobile devices.
• Vertical positioning of the antenna provides best side-to-side coverage. Horizontal
positioning provides best top-to-bottom coverage.
