Deployment Best Practices

Figure 38 Definition of a “Location-Ready” Point

Figure 39 shows an example of a floor deployment where some areas are predicted to have location

accuracy below 10 m/90 percent. Although there are green areas toward the center of the figure, notice

that red areas abound as you get beyond those access points located the furthest from the center of the

floor. By establishing a solid understanding of the aforementioned requirements that define location

readiness, you can examine Figure 39 to determine where you can add access points or initiate changes

in inter-access point spacing and density to improve the likelihood of a deployment that meets the

performance expectations.
