In this video, I explain the key RF principles that you should consider when designing a high-density Wi-Fi network. These include:
- Leveraging the 5 GHz bands to reduce co-channel interference and increase network capacity
- Appropriate use of 20 MHz versus 40 MHz channel width
- Using non-adjacent channels to minimize adjacent channel interference
- Always performing a pre-deployment site survey
- Appropriate cell sizing to maintain high data rates for clients while minimizing co-channel interference
- Ensuring a high quality bi-directional link with clients
- Leveraging facility obstructions for channel re-use
- Co-locating APs to increase capacity
- Alternative AP mounting methods and appropriate use of antennas to achieve desired coverage while minimizing co-channel interference
These principles are covered in more depth in the Aerohive High-Density Wi-Fi Design and Configuration Guide.
