An Access Point for Varied Hot Spot Environments
The Challenge
Before beginning a hot spot installation, contractors must carefully plan
coverage throughout the wireless public access zone. This process involves
plotting the location of access points to ensure: no “holes”
in wireless coverage, minimal RF spillover outside the hot spot, and minimal
cell overlap. These must be accomplished while keeping within a strict
budget. Interference from other wireless transmissions, microwave ovens,
and high-voltage machinery add a challenging dimension to deployment.
Technicians often find that supplementing an access point with an external
antenna or repeater link best accommodates the particular building and
environmental coverage needs. But not all access points are flexible enough
to allow this customization.
The Solution
Wi-Fi access points from Proxim are specifically designed with commercial
use in mind. Proxim has decades of experience with service provider
wireless offerings, and has built high-quality devices that can be fit
with site-specific antennas and tuned for the proper cell size. Without
this flexibility, installations will use more access points than needed
– raising installation costs and incurring reduced performance
due to access point overcrowding.
