A proper Wi-Fi system design requires the following considerations<\/p>\n
\n- Number of users, devices, and applications\n
\n- The number of users and devices can impact the density of the Wi-Fi coverage<\/li>\n
- More users in a packed auditorium or conference room can overload the access points; more access points are required<\/li>\n
- High throughput applications require high quality access points with low latency (Voice over WLAN and videoconferencing)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Cloud or On Premises\n
\n- Cloud based access points require a monthly fee, but have little programming requirements and are easy to maintain and replace<\/li>\n
- On premises systems require a physical controller<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Value-Added Services\n
\n- Guest Wi-Fi<\/li>\n
- Tracking location of users<\/li>\n
- RFID for inventory tracking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Security\n
\n- Authentication and authorization<\/li>\n
- Preventing rogue Wi-Fi networks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Vendor\n
