Adding APs along the perimeter of the coverage area ensures that clients near the edges are heard by multiple APs at varying angles and distances, which is essential for accurate RF-based triangulation used by the Cisco Mobility Services Engine.

A 40-foot inter-AP distance targets high-density data throughput coverage, not the specific multilateration geometry required for location accuracy, which depends more on perimeter and monitor-mode AP placement.

Directional antennas reduce cell overlap and narrow the RF pattern, which degrades location accuracy because the MSE requires overlapping RSSI readings from multiple APs to calculate a position.

Installing additional APs in monitor mode allows them to passively listen on all channels simultaneously and report client RSSI data to the MSE without associating clients or contributing co-channel interference, directly improving location calculation accuracy.

Increasing AP transmission power actually reduces location accuracy by causing fewer APs to report meaningfully differentiated RSSI values for a given client, flattening the signal gradient used for triangulation.
