Wireless Devices
Wireless devices have transformed the way we connect and communicate, and make access to networks easier and more mobile, but they also pose increased security challenges. Effective deployment and optimization require careful consideration of installation factors, site surveys that identify and rectify issues, and heat maps to visualize network performance. When deploying a wireless network, consider the following information:
- Site Survey: Conducting site surveys is an essential step in optimizing wireless network performance. These surveys involve a comprehensive analysis of the environment, which includes identification of sources of interference, such as load-bearing walls, cordless phones, microwaves, elevators, metal frames, metal doors, and radio waves. A site survey will help to determine the best places to install the wireless access points that users connect to.
- Heat Maps: A heat map is a valuable tool in the hands of a network administrator when...
