Review of Forum wireless installation
Description: We have a large deployment of Cisco wireless access points (WAPs) in the Forum, but we have had at least one complaint of unsatisfactory wireless service. For an 'optimal' - or at least an improved - service, it might be that we should move some of our existing WAPs, or else add to (or subtract from!) their number.
This isn't an easy thing to plan for or to test for but, now that we've had the existing installation running for a couple of years, now might be a good time for a review.
Deliverables: A report which provides definite suggestions for either changes to the deployment, or a recommendation to stick with the status quo.
Customer: All users of the Informatics Forum
Case statement: We have at least one report of bad wireless service; we know that power levels can vary from -60dBm just outside the door of an office to -80dBm at the rear of the same office; we know that many of our WAPs run at low power, having been throttled back by the controller on account of the measured signal strength of their neighbours; we know that Cisco recommends that the WAPs we're using should be ceiling-mounted rather than wall-mounted.
