You are designing a wireless network for a small square office. The office can be covered wirelessly by using a couple access points, but the customer requests that the Wi-Fi network be…

Placing APs in the four corners of the office ensures that at least three APs can hear any given client device simultaneously at the signal strength required for location accuracy. Cisco Connected Mobile Experiences (CMX) and similar location engines depend on this multi-AP overlap to triangulate a client's position across the entire floor, and corner placement maximizes the geometric spread needed for that calculation.

Using only two far-end corners provides coverage from just two APs, which is insufficient for the three-AP triangulation required by location services.

A single center AP provides RF coverage but cannot support location services because position calculation requires multiple APs hearing the same client simultaneously.

Specifying a fixed distance of 80 feet between two APs ignores office geometry and does not guarantee the multi-AP overlap needed for location accuracy in all areas of the space.
