  Rewarded HiCoins: 5 (problem resolved)

customer has these below requiremnt about coverage, how can I set the parameters when I configure?

The following limits must not be violated: 

Min. signal strength, measured at client (RSSI):    -75 dB 

Min. Signal-/Noise Ratio, measured at client (SNR):    25 dB 

Max. transmit power at AP (included antenna gain)     25 dBm 

Max. 10 Access Points on same channel visible at the same time for client (-80 dB threshold)   

No other (Non-Wi-Fi  and rogue APs) radio sources within IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n frequency band 

 

Note: Max. transmit power limit must not be exceeded! We also highly recommend always to go with fixed transmit power levels in order to get reproducible results.

Hi, 

The measurement value based on the detailed enviroment and the distance between the measuring device and the AP. While in your situation, you doesn't assgin the distance that you want to the set between the measuring device and the AP. For example, from the formula RSSI = Radio transmit power + TX antenna gain – Path loss – Signal attenuation caused by obstacles + RX antenna gain and 2.4 GHz: L = 46 + 25lg(d)[Indoor semi-open scenario], suppose the receiver is a mobile phone (the antenna gain is usually 0), signal attenuation caused by obstacles is 8dB we'll have an equation:

-75=25-(46+25lg(d))-8 

then we can get the coverage distance d is 69 meters.

If you want to lower down the transmit power at AP, the coverage distance will be small. In addition, more obstacles will cause the coverage distance small, too.

The SNR relatives to the noise power, which corresponds to the detailed implement enviroment. If you want to enlarge the SNR, you can set the transmit power up or cut the coverage distance down.

Hi, Do you mean to find APs that meet the requirements?

we already bought the AP, but and try to configure it. I think we should do some parameters to match customer's requirement.

Hi,
It depends.
As described previous, when setting it to 25dbm, the maximum coverage distance is about 69 meters. But you said the value must not exceed 25dbm, so, you should consider the live network environment to decide the detailed value. Maybe 25, or 20.
