Coverage
The number of Access Points in a set area determines the network 
coverage for that area. A large number of Access Points covering a small 
area is a high-density cell. A few Access Points, or even a single unit, 
covering the same small area would result in a low-density cell, even 
though in both cases the actual area did not change — only the number of 
Access Points covering the area changed. 
In a typical office, a high density area consists of a number of 
Access Points installed every 20 feet and each Access Point generates a 
small radio cell with a diameter of about 10 feet. In contrast, a typical 
warehouse might have a low density area consisting of large cells (with a 
diameter of about 90 feet) and Access Points installed every 200 feet.
