Question

In a civic auditorium, upper-balcony seats see strong CCI from floor APs aimed too high. What physical remediation best reduces that interference while preserving floor coverage?

Accepted Answer

Apply antenna downtilt (or choose patterns) so energy focuses on the floor and less spills into the upper balcony — If floor APs are spotlighting the balcony, tip the cans down. Downtilt keeps energy on the seats you care about and stops painting co-channel noise upstairs.

Answer

Raise every AP to maximum EIRP so the floor signal dominates the balcony

Answer

Disable 5 GHz on floor APs so balcony clients only hear 2.4 GHz

Answer

Remove all balconies from the predictive model so CCI is ignored
