  • Page 8: Outdoor Planning And Deployment Considerations

    Outdoor Planning and Deployment Considerations Prior to deploying an outdoor wireless network, the environment must be evaluated to plan for a successful WLAN deployment. Successfully evaluating the environment enables the proper selection of access points and antennas and assists in the determination of their placement for optimal RF coverage. This process is considered WLAN or RF planning and Aruba’s system engineers can assist in the outdoor planning process.
