Summary: In This Episode<br> The first episode for 2016 is going to be about Wi-Fi predictive modeling – how I plan my wireless networks.<br> But before we get into the meat of the episode, I’d like to share my new year resolutions:<br> <br> * CWAP<br> * CWDP<br> * More learning<br> * More podcasts!<br> <br> Man, I have a lot to work on. What are your resolutions?<br> My 2016 predications:<br> <br> * LTE over Wi-Fi*I meant to say LTE-U and LAA* to gain traction<br> * We’ll be working with more poor Wi-Fi<br> * Someone will be fined over blocking Wi-Fi<br> * Wi-Fi calling will take off<br> <br> Predictive Modeling<br> Predictive modeling is a method in which a software application is used to predict the number of access points required on a floor plan based on user inputted capacity and coverage requirements.<br> As the phrase says, it is a PREDICTIVE model. A wireless installation should be verified to end user requirements.<br> My application of choice is <a href="http://www.ekahau.com/wifidesign/ekahau-site-survey">Ekahau Site Survey</a>.<br> Some things to consider in your predictive model using Ekahau:<br> <br> * Setting Capacity and Performance requirements<br> * Setting Coverage requirements<br> * Importing a floor plan<br> * Setting scale and alignment points<br> * Adding a coverage area<br> * Adding access points<br> * Optimize placement<br> <br> <br> Thanks For Listening<br> Welcome to a new year of Clear To Send podcast!
