Determining Deployment Requirements
There are a few important deployment criteria to consider when deploying a wireless network:
• Assumptions
• Protocol Requirements
• Coverage Area Requirements
• Building Type
• Building Homogeneity
• Average Client Throughput
• Voice over IP Requirements
Note Most enterprise installations are initially designed and deployed for coverage. If there is a large installed
base of wireless clients, capacity must also be considered.
Assumptions
The guidelines in this document are written based on the following conditions and assumptions:
• Client Data Terminal Transmit (Tx) Power: >=15 dBm.
• Client Data Terminal Antenna Gain: >=0 dBi.
• Capacity: up to 15 Data client Terminals or up to 14 VoIP clients per Cisco 1000 series lightweight
access point.
• Handover Times: 37 milliseconds or less for Layer 2 (same- Cisco 4100 Series Wireless LAN
Controller) handovers, 48 milliseconds or less for Layer 3 (inter-Cisco 4100 Series Wireless LAN
Controller and inter-subnet) handovers.
• Quality of Service: Assigned on a per-WLAN basis. VoIP clients with Platinum QoS take
precedence (up to 90+% of bandwidth) over clients with Gold, Silver or Bronze QoS.
Note These assumptions are typical for available 802.11 client data terminals and typical cubicle density.
