Planning is part of many projects undertaken in a business, but planning is ingrained in the fabric of IT. Technology rollouts of any scale are always planned, regardless of how mundane the technology. And Wireless LAN (WLAN) planning is no exception. It is just as vital as planning an Ethernet switch deployment or router backbone upgrade. Planning allows the number of Access Points (APs) required for a new WLAN to be determined with unmatched precision, something that guesswork cannot achieve. Sophisticated planning tools - like Trapeze RingMaster software - allow coverage to be tailored to the exact building requirements, regardless of the shape of the building, and allow RF obstacles and attenuation to be factored into the plan.
