Gathering Information: The first step is to collect all relevant information regarding the proposed environment. You need to understand the structure of the building, its size, the materials used in the construction (which can affect signal propagation), as well as the expected traffic of users and their needs related to the wireless network.
Creating an Environmental Map: Using Ekahau Pro, you can create a detailed environmental map that includes all important details such as walls, windows, doors, and where access points will be placed.
Planning the placement of access points: Based on the collected information and the environmental map, you should plan the optimal placement of access points to ensure even signal coverage throughout the area.
Configuration of settings: Ekahau Pro allows you to configure various network settings, such as transmission power, radio channels, encryption, as well as QoS (Quality of Service) and roaming settings, which allows you to tailor the network to your individual needs.
Network Coverage Simulations: Once the design is complete, it is a good idea to conduct network coverage simulations to verify that the planned access point placement and configuration are appropriate and provide the expected performance.
Analysis and optimization: Based on the simulation results and any problems detected during design, adjustments and optimizations can be made to the design to obtain the best possible results.
Report generation: Ekahau Pro allows you to generate detailed reports containing information about the designed network, coverage simulation, possible problems and optimization recommendations.
It is worth remembering that designing wireless networks is a complex process that requires knowledge and experience, and Ekahau Pro is a tool that supports specialists in the effective and precise design and optimization of network infrastructure.
