Hi to everyone, I am just new here.

This is the first time that we are designing a WLAN for the whole campus building just using 1 antenna and 1 WAP. We have a 61cm (in length) dipole antenna that has a 6/8dBm gain, 30/20degrees beamwidth, and operating at 2.4/5GHz. The antenna will be connect to a 8760 3COM WAP. The WAP (without the antenna) can radiate up to 100meters or 470meters without obstruction.

The antenna and the WAP will be fit on the top of the building which has a height of 55meters. Will the signal can be propagated below the building, with or without the 6/8dBm antenna? Is it possible? I doubted.

We also need to know on how far the signal can reach and the elevation of the signal coming out from a WAP with the 6/8dBm antenna, in meters or in foot. Please let us know if there is an equation to solve this. Thanks

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
