 Predictive Coverage
Analysis
and Network Plan
RHO
Wireless uses the AirMagnet Site
Survey Planner Module for the
Predictive Coverage Analysis and to
create the network plan. An overlay
is created on the the floor plans by
drawing colored lines that represent
the wall configurations.
Differentiation of the various wall
types and their attenuation factor
is used by the planning software to
simulate the access point's expected
RF energy.The image to the left
shows the predictive coverage
assessment for the Gatehouse that
encompasses the lobby and reception
area, the board room, conference
area, bar, and fitness gym. Two dual
band Meraki MR16 access points were
used for wireless coverage and
connectivity for 802.11 b/g/n and
802.11 a/n clients. The Meraki Cloud
Controller automatically detects
clients with 802.11 a/n capability
and steers them to that band for a
better WiFi experience. A Predictive

each of the five buildings.
