# Outdoor Coverage Planning The goal of this exercise is to provide the best possible coverage and capacity for the RIM campus using a limited number of access points. Groups will work separately using CloudRF to test various locations for suitability of access point placement. Access points may only be placed at locations on campus where they can be mounted and powered. Groups will use the CloudRF service to test placement of access points for optimal coverage. Finished network plans will be screen captured and uploaded to the classroom Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y87Qq-FXF-3BWWnDGkgZGH3kAwGObLy-2XaLSwG-XkI/edit?usp=sharing ## Plan Details & Assumptions - The RMI Campus will be used for this survey - A site survey has already been conducted - The network will have no more than ten outdoor access points - Coverage planning will be based on 5.660 GHz - Cells of 200m radius will be predicted - EIRP shall be no greater than 1 watt (30 dBm) - Access points shall transmit at no greater than 22 dBm - Katherine 739304_0947 panel antenna is assumed - End users should receive a minimum signal of -70 dBm - Co-Channel interference shall be no higher than -95 dBm - Receivers will be hand-held phones at 1.5 m above ground level - End devices should receive a minimum of 2 Mbps each - Estimate the number of users for this calculation - Provide enough access points to cover them all with adequate signal - The environment will have random clutter (trees and obstructions) of 3m high - Prediction will be done at the highest available resolution - 2m / 7ft LiDAR in menu. (actual resolution available is 10m) - AP coverage will be predicted at a maximum of 0.4 km. ## Campus Plan  ## Plan Execution
