The Alcatel RF Plan Tool
RF Plan is a three-dimensional wireless deployment modeling tool that enables 
Network Administrators to design an efficient Wireless Local Area Network 
(Wireless LAN) for their corporate environment, optimizing coverage and 
performance, and eliminating complicated Wireless LAN network setup.
RF Plan provides the following critical functionality:
z
Defines Wireless LAN Coverage
z
Defines Wireless LAN environment security coverage
z
Assesses equipment requirements
z
Optimizes radio resources
z
Creates an exportable Wireless LAN profile that may be imported into an Alcatel 
switch and be used to configure and deploy the Wireless LAN.
RF Plan provides a view of each floor, allowing Network Administrators to specify 
how Wi-Fi coverage should be provided. RF Plan then provides coverage maps and 
AP/AM placement locations.
Unlike other static site survey tools that require administrators to have intricate 
knowledge of building materials and other potential Radio Frequency (RF) hazards, 
RF Plan calibrates coverage on the fly through a sophisticated RF calibration 
algorithm. This real-time calibration lets administrators characterize the indoor 
propagation of RF signals in order to determine the best channel and transmission 
power settings for each AP. Real-time calibration can be automatically programmed 
or manually undertaken at any time in order to quickly adapt to changes in the 
wireless environment.
