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

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.

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.
