UO provides temporary office space in cities around the country. They have
a standard office layout that is a single floor with outside dimensions of 150 feet wide by 150 feet
long. The interior is drywall offices. They have a switched 100Mb
wired LAN but want to add
WLAN as well.
Data rates have been shown to slow dramatically when the distance from a laptop
to the wireless access point (radius of circle) exceeds 25 feet
.
a.
How many access points would you recommend and where would they be placed?
b.
Draw the office and show where the access points would be located.
c.
Show coverage for each access point with a circle, and label the channels (1, 6,
We are required to evaluate the number of access points required and the placements of those access points in a Ubiquitous Office (UO). Here we would be needing four access points since four Aps will be able to serve the entire office of 150x150. The Aps have to be placed 50 feet away from each other in the middle four corners of the office forming a square of 150x150 sq feet.
