How much square footage do you usually estimate a single Extreme AP7532 covers?

[Jacob_Airov]

I have a new warehouse in which we rent 10,000 sq ft and would like to provide Wifi for our scanner guns to work from.
This site is fairly far and am trying to save on the travel expenses.
I would like to try to estimate how many APs is needed to give them sufficient Wifi coverage.
There will be normal warehouse racking stacked with product and the ceiling is looking to be around 60ft high.

Is there good method to estimating how many APs they are going to need if we're going to use an Extreme AP7532?

60ft high is quite high, so you need to take into consideration that your guns will always be a minimum of 57 feet away from the nearest AP.

Have a look at https://wirelessplanner.extremenetworks.com you should be able to generate your estimate from there, while it doesn't specifically have the AP7532 in there (hint-hint), the equivalent Extreme AP would be sufficient to get a good idea of how its going to work.

My suggestion take one AP , set at medium power range AND make measurents with the Guns AND. Fusión software .

The best way to estimate how many APs is needed to perform a wireless site survey.

A wireless site survey sometimes called an RF site survey or wireless survey is the process of planning and designing a wireless network, to provide a wireless solution that will deliver the required wireless coverage, data rates, network capacity, roaming capability and Quality of Service (QoS).

As part of the wireless site survey, the effective range boundary is set, which defines the area over which signal levels needed support the intended application. This involves determining the minimum signal to noise ratio (SNR) needed to support performance requirements.

You'd use the Extreme wirlessplanner

It doesn't include WiNG APs but you'd use another type to estimate the coverage.

Hi Jacob,

This is an impossible question to answer without lots and lots of additional questions and information.

Wi-Fi rule #1 stipulates all Wi-Fi networks need to be properly designed using appropriate software such as Ekahau or Air Magnet.

Warehouses are a particularly challenging RF environment and require specific design considerations for Wi-Fi networks to operate correctly.

I recommend asking your client for plans for the warehouse and using the RF planning and design skills of a professional Wi-Fi architect.

Regards,
Darrel.
