Planners estimate WLAN capacity for a busy municipal courtroom using expected client counts, application duty cycles, and assumed MCS values. What is the sound use of that model?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Courtroom Wi-Fi math is seats × how chatty the apps are × how fast each talker can speak on RF. That clients × duty cycle × MCS style model tells you if one AP in the doorway is a fantasy. Capacity planning beats hope.
Full Explanation
Capacity estimation multiplies concurrent clients by application airtime demand (duty cycle, frame sizes, bidirectional needs) under realistic MCS/SNR assumptions. The result shows whether planned cells can carry the offered courtroom load before go-live. Client count alone, ignoring propagation and MCS, or using only marketing PHY peaks produces unsafe designs for a dense chamber. Document the assumptions so later validation can compare measured retries and airtime against the model.
