Installing Wireless Access Point Cabling
Wireless access points are designed to provide seamless coverage with no loss of connectivity as users move from room to room. Therefore, the positioning of your WiFi access points is extremely important, though several factors can make the process to find the best location a bit challenging. Many people think that placing an access point in the center of a room or building is best to obtain a wide range of coverage, but this isn’t always the case.
Layer One Technologies has the equipment and expertise needed to take the guesswork out of finding the ideal locations for your wireless access points. We will find areas of weak signal throughout your business, while also considering where devices will actually be used. A dropped signal in the storage room, for instance, may not be an issue, but a strong, reliable signal may be essential in the conference room or reception area. Next, we’ll locate potential sources of interference. Anything from a structural column to a speaker, or even another WAP could weaken the strength or performance of your wireless network. Layer One Technologies will use this hard data to determine the best locations for your access points prior to installation.
Finally, it is important to pay attention to manufacturer recommendations. We have experience working with most major brands and understand the installation requirements for these WAPs. Access points perform best when installed in the correct locations and matched with the best antennas for the area being served. Where aesthetics are important, we will attempt to install a WAP wireless access point in a less visible location, though hiding it behind ceiling tiles or walls is not recommended.
