62 I ICT TODAY
SUMMARY
Today's digital world and intelligent building spaces
have confirmed the critical nature of the availability
and performance of the Wi-Fi infrastructure. Preparing
the infrastructure for optimum performance is vital.
The installation methods of the WAPs should be
planned in advance. Consider how the APs are oriented
and installed so that the full performance of the AP
is being maximized for physical protection, code
compliance, serviceability, aesthetics, and a seamless
migration path to upgrades.
