aironet 702i coverage area

[foued kh]

Hi all,

Can you tell me what is the coverage area of an aironet 702i please

This is a very broad question so I will answer broadly:   If you are alone and standing on the surface of the moon, where there is no walls, no other wireless devices within a 100 metre radius, then the answer would be around 50 to 80 metres.

Hello Leo,

Thank you for your reply. I'm a begineer in wireless environment. Can you tell me if there is a method that let me calculate the coverage area for an aironet cisco access point ?

Thank you in advance

I have already answered this question:  IF you are alone and standing on the surface of the moon, where there are NO WALLS, NO WIRELESS devices within 100 metres around you ... then the answer is 50 to 80 metres. 

NOTE:  This means the 802.11b radio is operating at full power and all data rates are enabled.

I can't provide any other answer because the question you've raised is very, very broad.  

If you are new at wireless then I'd strongly recommend that you get someone to do a wireless site survey at the site.   It is very easy to deploy the wrong amount of APs and deploy the APs in the wrong location if one doesn't know how wireless works.  

Get someone to do it once (or twice), observe what they are doing and then LEARN.
