Determining Requirements
In order to satisfy needs, your first concern involves determining specific
requirements. When you start planning your wireless infrastructure,
define specific requirements by first performing a key analysis of your
needs. Your goal is to define what your WLAN is going to do prior to
taking the next step.
Avoid purchasing or installing your WLAN without adequate planning,
which begins with determining your wireless infrastructure. Without
sufficient planning, your final wireless infrastructure will not satisfy
your users’ needs. It is important not to install the network and then have disgruntled users point out all the requirements your wireless
deployment lacks.
The main requirements for planning your wireless infrastructure
include:
Immediate user needs
Planning for future user needs
Company needs and growth
The requirements for your wireless LAN include:
Wireless range
Throughput
Security and privacy
Battery life
Application software
Operating systems
User hardware
Note that some of these requirements are different from and more
complicated than what you might have planned for your traditional
wired networks. This means you must really understand the issues
involved in creating your wireless infrastructure.
