WAP plan generator based on band, capacity, and room dimensions
Small script written in Python that calculates and displays optimal wireless access point (WAP) and channel placement within a room with given room dimentions (L x W), anticipated number of clients, frequency band (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz), and data rate requirements.
Assumptions and notable points:
- Uses square packing
- Does not take into account objects within room that may affect signal propagation
- Program relies on wireless AP rule of thumb: 20 - 30 users per AP depending on data rate requirements given
- Power to distance calculations based upon the work of Nigel Bowden
- Uses Graphics.py for GUI and solution presenter
