Coverage
The number of Access Points in a set area determines the network coverage for that area. A
large number of Access Points covering a small area is a high-density cell. A few
Access Points, or even a single unit, covering the same small area would result in a low-density
cell, even though in both cases the actual area did not change — only the number of
Access Points covering the area changed.
In a typical office, a high density area consists of a number of Access Points installed every 20
feet and each Access Point generates a small radio cell with a diameter of about 10 feet. In
contrast, a typical warehouse might have a low density area consisting of large cells (with a
diameter of about 90 feet) and Access Points installed every 200 feet.

The Distance Between Cells parameter supports five values: Large, Medium, Small, Minicell,
and Microcell.
! CAUTION:
The distance between APs should not be approximated. It is calculated by means

of a manual Site Survey, in which an AP is set up and clients are tested
throughout the area to determine signal strength and coverage, and local limits
such as physical interference are investigated. From these measurements the
appropriate cell size and density is determined, and the optimum distance
between APs is calculated to suit your particular business requirements. Contact
your reseller for information on how to conduct a Site Survey.
