Abstract(s)
This paper presents a new planning tool that facilitates the design and implementation of a WLAN
(wireless local area network) which not only provides an accurate solution, but it also gives practical and useful
information for the professional planner towards a quick implementation, such as the number and position of the
access points (AP) or an estimation of the total cost of implementation based on data provided by different
equipment manufacturers. The novelty of this tool is a new algorithm for calculating
the best position of each AP was used, which is based on the user’s applications and their most probable positions. This tool is user friendly and it interactively helps WLAN designers to properly define all the necessary equipment so as to provide a given coverage, i.e. with a given quality of service, for a given floor plant without to make a site survey in the places where this networks will be implemented.
