The biggest problem businesses face with their wireless LAN deployments is the inadequate wireless deployment planning which ultimately results in coverage issues, unnecessary coverage, and ultimately poor business application performance. We have found that more often than not this issue comes back to poor or in-adequate pre-deployment planning of the wireless network. Using a wireless planning utility such as Fortinet’s Fortiplanner Trucell is able to ensure a successful Wifi deployment. We can import a floor-plan of your environment, draw in the obstructions, select the type of Access Point and automatically calculate the number and placement of the Access Points. The tool utilises a sophisticated signal propagation ray tracing algorithms to estimate signal loss and bounce based on objects that can cause Radio Frequency interference, such interference caused by walls, windows, elevators shafts and glass. Additionally application scenarios such as VoIP, high priority data or normal can ensure adequate wireless LAN…
