Planning Access Point Deployment

Location Services provides the capability to plan access point deployment and provisioning them before the actual deployment. Administrators can manually pick suggested positions of APs, check the RF heatmap for the planned APs, and then modify the AP positions. This enables administrators to measure approximately the number of devices required to achieve networking goals such as Coverage, Capacity, Redundancy, Speed, and so on.

You can plan access point deployment at the floor context. For more information on accessing floorplan manager, see Accessing Floorplan Manager

There are two methods to deploy access points:

• Planning Manual Access Point Deployment

• Planning Automatic Access Point Deployment
