Floor Plan Site Survey Data Sheet

According to your site survey, is the data center an ideal location for the wireless access point? Would you place the access point somewhere else in the building? If so, where and why? Do you think it will be necessary to have multiple access points in this building? |

I would suggest putting the access point in the large conference room or an adjacent storage room. This is a central location making the network close to all corresponding users. |
