Wireless LAN (WLAN) coverage is a complex task that requires careful planning. One of the biggest challenges is to ensure a consistent signal in all areas where the WLAN network is required. Various factors must be taken into account, such as the size and shape of the room, the type of walls and materials in the building and the positioning of devices and other obstacles.
In addition, there are always new developments in the area of WiFi standards, which can bring further challenges. The new WiFi 6E standard, which was introduced in 2020, extends the frequency band for WiFi networks to 6 GHz. This allows higher data transfer rates to be achieved and more devices to be supported simultaneously. However, the use of WiFi 6E requires special hardware and precise planning to ensure that the network functions optimally.
In addition, the next WiFi standard, WiFi 7, is expected to be introduced in the coming years. WiFi 7 is expected to offer greater speed, efficiency and security, as well as greater coverage and greater reliability in the transmission of data. However, certain hardware and planning requirements will also apply here.
Overall, WLAN coverage is a challenging task that requires careful planning and implementation. As IT planners and consultants, we can help you select the appropriate WLAN standard and plan and illuminate the optimum network for your needs so that you get the best possible WLAN coverage and performance to suit your requirements.
