S is the minimum signal strength over 95% of the coverage area.
Note 1:
Requires 802.11a.
Note 2:
Voice over IP Requirements
When deploying 802.11 wireless LANs to support Voice over IP (VoIP) telephones, such as SpectraLink
NetLink Telephones, a few special considerations are needed in the deployment process. When
deploying an 802.11b voice system, seamless full coverage with an average user throughput of 5 Mbps
or more should be used. Areas such as stairways, bathrooms, cafeterias and outside areas may require
special consideration and additional access points. These are areas that are not typically critical for data
users but are critical coverage areas for voice users who want seamless coverage.
