Planning 

Designing a wireless LAN that effectively supports business-critical data, voice, and video services is simplified 

with the Cisco Prime NCS suite of built-in planning and design tools (Figure 3). 

Figure 3.    Simplified Wireless LAN Planning and Design 

 

The planning and design tools in Cisco Prime NCS simplify the process of defining access point placement and 

determining access point coverage areas for standard and irregularly shaped buildings. These tools give IT 

administrators clear visibility into the RF environment to anticipate future coverage needs, assess wireless LAN 

events, and mitigate or eliminate improper RF designs and coverage problems. 

Specialized Cisco Prime NCS planning tools facilita

te immediate assessment of the WLAN’s readiness to provide 

voice-over-WLAN services supporting single and dual-mode Wi-Fi-enabled phones, and context-aware (location) 
services that use Cisco’s patent-pending “RF fingerprinting” technology to locate, track, and manage Wi-Fi-enabled 

devices and their contextual information in conjunction with Cisco MSE.
