need help on wireless lan deployment

[raysm]

Hi

I am planning to setup fully wireless lan for my company staff. We have 3 floors of office space. Each floor (oval shape) is visible from one end to other and has about 150 users.

How should I find out how many AP's and which AP's to used to maintain a good performance similar to wired lan

Site survey.. site survey.. site survey. Spend the money it is well worth it. Let me know if you need assistance. Thanks.

Thanks:-)

How should I do the site servey? What resources I require for a servey and what best practices?

Do I need professional experience to do a site servey?

Hi. Yes you will need professional experience to make sure it is done properly. Alot of things can cause interference WLAN performance problems. Also, the number of client devices as well as VoIP are important variables to consider when designing the WLAN. What part of the country are you in?

Thanks,
