Using the BayStack 650 Wireless LAN Access Point2-4 203282-BDetermining and Measuring the ESAAs shown in Figure 2-2, shade the desired ESA on the floor plan. Note areas thatyou do not want to include (storage, restroom. etc.) in the coverage. Now, measurethe length and width of the planned ESA again, as shown in Figure 2-2.Figure 2-2. Dimensions of the ESAEstimating the Number and Placement of Access PointsTo get an idea of how many BayStack 650 Access Points are needed to cover theESA, divide the length and width measurements of the desired ESA by 225 feet(69 meters). Use the higher range to obtain a conservative estimate, since therange of the BayStack 650 Access Point can be up to 225 feet (69 meters).Using the measurements from the example in Figure 2-2, 656 feet × 394 feet(200 meters × 120 meters), the results are 2.9 for the horizontal measurement and1.7 for the vertical measurement. Rounding up to the nearest integer, the estimatednumber of BayStack 650 Access Points required to cover the chosen ESA arethree across × two deep (for a total of six access points).Cubicle AreaLaboratoryDimensions of Extended Service AreaKitchenLobby120m200mLawnPrivate OfficesConferenceRoomStorageRest-rooms8689EAOutdoor Patio
