Demystifying Wi Fi Capacity Planning Made Simple | Ekahau Webinar

Capacity planning is fundamental to building high-performing wireless networks. It goes a step beyond coverage and accounts for the different types and number of devices and applications that will connect to Wi-Fi.

Understanding your users, devices, and applications will influence your ability to calculate an accurate capacity plan. Bandwidth-heavy applications like streaming in 4K can eat upwards of 10 GB per hour. Other applications like barcode scanners in a warehouse won’t use that much data in their entire lifetime.

And not only is capacity like a puzzle of users and applications, it constantly evolves and changes. New devices may be added to wireless networks each day, increasing density and overall network traffic.

In this webinar, we’re demystifying Wi-Fi capacity planning by discussing how this requirement impacts the performance of your network. We will be leaving you with best practices for designing networks with the necessary capacity.

Tune in to learn:
How to define capacity requirements for different areas in a floor plan
The factors that play into setting Wi-Fi capacity requirements
Why you can’t rely on formulas (users x average number of devices)
Plus, best practices for how to increase the capacity of your wireless network
Luckily, having the right tools can make Wi-Fi capacity planning incredibly simple once you know your requirements. We’ll have some awesome live demos of real-world Ekahau design project files lined up and, as always, we’ll be taking live questions from the audience.
