Cisco Unified IP Phone 9971 Wireless LAN Deployment Guide
Call Capacity
Design the network to accommodate the desired call capacity.
The Cisco Access Point can support up to 27 bi-directional voice streams for both 802.11a and 802.11g at a data rate of 24
Mbps or higher. To achieve this capacity, there must be minimal wireless LAN background traffic and radio frequency (RF)
utilization.
The number of calls may vary depending on the data rate, initial channel utilization, and the environment.
802.11a or 802.11g + Bluetooth Disabled
802.11a or 802.11g + Bluetooth Disabled
802.11a or 802.11g + Bluetooth Disabled
When using Coexistence (802.11b/g + Bluetooth), call capacity is reduced to the following:
802.11b/g + Bluetooth Enabled
802.11g + Bluetooth Enabled
Note: It is highly recommended to use 802.11a if using Bluetooth.
Video Calls
Video calls over Wireless LAN will significantly reduce the potential call capacity.
Below lists the maximum number of video calls (single bi-directional voice and video stream) supported per access point /
channel for each video bit rate.
If there are two Cisco Unified IP Phone 9971s communicating to each other, then that is two bi-directional voice and video
streams.
