Access Point Capacity and Positioning

Please refer to the Polycom Deploying Enterprise-GradeWi-Fi Telephony white paper. This document covers the security, coverage, capacity and QoS considerations necessary for ensuring excellent voice quality with enterprise Wi-Fi networks.

For more detailed information on wireless LAN layout, network infrastructure, QoS, security and subnets, please see the Best Practices Guide for Deploying SpectraLink 8020/8030 Wireless Telephones. This document identifies issues and solutions based on Polycom’s extensive experience in enterprise-class Wi-Fi telephony, and provides recommendations for ensuring that a network environment is adequately optimized for use with SpectraLink 8020/8030 Wireless Telephones.

For setting up the data rates, please consult your facility’s RF site survey, designed for voice traffic, to determine if you have sufficient coverage to support all data rates. SpectraLink Wireless Telephones require the following minimum dBm reading to support the corresponding “Required” data rate setting in the access point.

802.11
