Considerations for WAP Cabling Installation

NPI Connect – Who NC Companies Choose for Their Network

When determining where to install a wireless access point (WAP) in a commercial building, several variables should be considered. At Network Products, Inc. we have helped many companies in North Carolina make informed decisions about their network. When expanding, upgrading, or even downsizing, keeping your network running with minimum downtime while optimizing communication is always ideal. However, if a wireless access point is not installed correctly, then it could negatively affect connectivity and uptime across wireless devices.

We will also make every effort to ensure that your company does not experience unnecessary or extensive downtime during installation. Our team is sensitive to the importance of not disrupting your company’s operations during the workday. When designing and installing your WAP network, some of the variables our technicians will take into account include the following:

• Building and workspace layout. A properly configured WAP installation must take into account the building floor plan. This includes the number of floors, square footage, and the necessary number of access points for optimum coverage.
• The number of wireless devices and employees needing access to the network. This will greatly affect the number of access points needed and will take into account times of heavy network traffic and their locations.
• Obstructions of the wireless signal. Physical obstructions, whether walls, shelving units, machinery, or other objects, can greatly impede a wireless signal. When our specialists review your building’s floor plan, they will consider anything that could negatively affect your wireless network’s quality.
• Electronic interference. Many types of electronic devices can degrade wireless signals and the network. For instance, microwave ovens are notorious for this, as are certain types of medical equipment. Depending on the nature of your company’s business and the locations of devices that could cause interference, we will make adjustments as needed to reduce or eliminate interference with the WAPs.
• Location and installation of the WAPs. The WAPs will require cabling and must be placed where they will not be vulnerable to extreme temperatures or excessive moisture. Cabling must be installed and located so that it is neither hazardous nor visually unappealing to staff or visitors.
