An architect needs to plan 802.11ac wireless deployment for an office environment with a mix of closed offices and cubicles. The coverage area is approximately 4,645 square meters (approximately 50,000 square feet) and has 350 users. The employees use the wireless network for typical office applications, such as email, Web, printing, and accessing shared files and datacenter services. The architect plans to do a predictive site survey and use VisualRF to plan the coverage. What is a general estimate for the AP count that the architect should have in mind?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The coverage area and number of users suggest a higher density of access points is needed to ensure adequate coverage and performance. Typically, for office environments with high user density and typical office applications, a higher number of APs is required, making 40-45 a reasonable estimate.
