High User Density WiFi Solution
High density wireless environments are locations that require the support of hundreds or even thousands of wireless clients in a given area. Examples of high-density wireless environments include convention centres, auditoriums, hotel meeting rooms, lecture halls, sports stadiums, and concert halls.
Providing high density wireless coverage in these types of large, open venues poses a number of challenges in wireless network design due to the number of uncontrollable variables, including the total number of active wireless users in the area, the total number online at any one time, the spacing between the clients, and the amount of client roaming throughout the venue.
A high-density WLAN must meet both coverage and capacity demands. Adding Access Points in limited space is not the answer. Often, we will see installations where a multiple of 3 times the number of AP’s that should be installed are causing a number of significant issues.
Wi-Fi networks are becoming the primary network connection method for many users and businesses. As the Wi-Fi client population continues to grow at a substantial rate, with trends such as the proliferation of mobile devices, bring your own device (BYOD), consumerization of IT, and always-on connectivity, designing for wireless coverage is no longer sufficient. Wireless networks must be designed to meet the capacity demands of a large number of clients.
