When conducting a wireless site survey, consider the following steps: To understand the wireless requirements In order to identify appropriate locations for deployment of access points (APs), we need to thoroughly understand specific requirements for the network and any possible impacts to the signal coverage. By knowing the target throughput and data rates, we are Read More …
IEEE 802.11b/a/g/n dual-band access points with two radios can support both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz RF bands at the same time, on different radios. They offer a backward compatibility, a larger number of channels, and increased throughput. Wireless network devices with a dual-band radio can scan both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands and Read More …
In planning the wireless network, we will have to determine which wireless network architecture to adopt in the network environment. There are two architectures available, namely standalone and centrally coordinated wireless network. Standalone architecture (Ad hoc mode) By using ad hoc mode, all devices in the wireless network are directly communicating with each other Read More …
