As described in the
"Voice over IP
requires approximately 6 Mbps 802.11b throughput, resulting in a minimum A = 5,000 square foot
coverage area per Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point for an open area.
Dividing 20,000 square feet by A = 5,000 square feet per Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point
results in at least four Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points required for the auditorium.
According to the guidelines in

On your floor plan map, arrange four 50-foot radius coverage circles so they overlap, as shown in
