Where would you put the access points?
An office floor with glass, plasterboard, brick and a concrete core. Start from the usual install, move the access points, change their power and channels, and watch the coverage change live.
What the planner shows
Three mistakes we see in almost every office
The access point next to the rack
It goes where the cable reaches, not where the people are. Brick walls and the concrete core leave half the floor with a weak signal.
Power turned all the way up
More power isn’t more usable coverage: the laptop shows more bars, but it transmits with less power than the access point and can’t talk back. The hatched area shows it.
All on the same channel
Two access points on the same channel that hear each other share airtime and get in each other’s way. Spreading the channels matters as much as placing them well.
Your office isn’t this floor plan: we measure it
A real coverage survey starts from your office’s plans and materials, is validated with on-site measurements and defines how many access points you need, where and with what configuration, before anything is installed.
