Deploying Aps For Client Location Accuracy; Using Quickview To Assess Rf Environments; Viewing A Wireless User's Rf Environment - Dell PowerConnect W-Airwave User Manual

Deploying APs for Client Location Accuracy

Deploying access points for client location accuracy can be different than deploying access points for capacity.
Follow these guidelines for best results:
Ensure that at least 3 radios can hear each client devices at -85 dBm or below

Ensure that you deploy an access point approximately every 3,500 square feet.

For square or rectangular floor plans ensure access points are deployed on the exterior walls of each floor with

access points in the middle as well.
