Warehouse and Factory

Warehouse installations are often difficult because of the very high ceilings and the clutter of the material being warehoused. When performing a coverage check (site survey) always check the coverage at “full stock” levels as the material being warehoused can change the RF coverage creating loss of uniform coverage. Also, try to position the APs as close to the users perhaps lowering the antennas when possible or practical to do so. If the AP is 30 feet in the air, that is 30 feet farther the signal has to go, “best case”. When configuring coverage for aisles, try to use directional (Patch) antennas on the wall and shoot down the aisles; or use low-gain Omni-directional antennas on the ceiling (such as dipoles) or units with integrated antennas as high gain omnidirectional antennas tend to have more nulls. See Figure 49.

Another option is to mount the AP lower using pipe and electrical box mounting techniques. Refer to the example shown in Figure 28.

This dual-band capability enables the access point to support a greater number of devices and deliver higher data throughput, thereby enhancing the overall user experience. The access point can automatically select the best band, ensuring optimal performance based on network conditions and user requirements.

The device also supports the latest Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) standard, delivering impressive wireless speeds and improved capacity compared to previous generations. With Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) technology, the AIR-RM3000-AK9 can communicate with multiple devices simultaneously. This feature is particularly advantageous in crowded environments, as it helps to reduce latency and increase overall network efficiency.

Security is another critical aspect of the AIR-RM3000-AK9. It offers advanced security protocols such as WPA2 and WPA3, ensuring that data remains protected as it traverses the wireless medium. Additionally, with Cisco's identity and access services, organizations can manage user access and maintain compliance with security policies.

The access point is also designed for easy deployment and management. With support for Cisco DNA Center, network administrators can leverage a centralized platform for monitoring, troubleshooting, and optimizing network performance. This capability is essential for reducing operational costs and improving overall network reliability.

Moreover, the AIR-RM3000-AK9 features advanced Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities to prioritize traffic, ensuring that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need for seamless operation. This feature is particularly beneficial for organizations that rely on real-time applications such as video conferencing and VoIP.

In summary, Cisco Systems AIR-RM3000-AK9 access point stands out due to its dual-band operation, support for Wi-Fi 5, MU-MIMO technology, robust security features, and ease of management. These characteristics make it an excellent choice for businesses seeking to enhance their wireless networking capabilities while ensuring high performance and security.
