Proposal

The proposal of this survey is to give improved/ better WIFI coverage to the festival down town music venue. The funding for the project has been given to us by the owner of the venue Mr Phillip Mc`crack.

The purpose of the WIFI project is to help enable the venue to self advertise through social media during and after events as most customers will upload photos and videos of where they are at the venue(s).

As the company we are resposible for instalation and testing of the venue in the surveyed areas allowing use of AP`s and not conflicting with other networks.

Criteria Surveyed

research

lCheck of walls

lCheck seating area

lCheacked VIP (enclosed) area

lLook at bar areas

Resources

lBuilding plans

l Images of previous venues

lVisual inspection of the site

lStick AP`s

lSpectrum analyser

lWifi analyser

Time for completion will require access to site for 5-10 days out of normal working hours unless days venue is closed.#

Survey will be conducted outside of operating hours 1200hrs-2130hrs primarily in the morning as to allow for testing and checks in the evening hours

-estimated time for engineer 40 hrs

Prerequisites:

Plans need approving by local authorites (Ofcom) before comencement of work

Full valuation of materials inside of venue

Instilation carried out by ____________________

With the 3 access points (AP) that will be installed it will provide capacity of up to 300-400 people effectively.

Each AP location and components and tools have been carefully considered. each AP will be POE (power over ethernet) which is wired into the power mains aleviating any need for MESH networks, how ever should this need arise another AP installation will need to be conducted as 3 AP`s are required for loop back contingency.

As there are only 3 AP`s there is no need to require more than 3 channels on 2.4ghz so operatin on channels 1,6,11 will be all that is required.

Floor Plan

AP ChannelsDue to only having 3 AP`s in the venue that are operating on the duel band so can operate on 2.4ghz and 5ghz we can use multiple channels without any frequency collision problems allowing users to use the WIFI without any major problems due to back off.

Not using the 2.4ghz is mor ebenificial due to the fact that the 2.4ghz only allows for three channel 1,6 and 11 meaning that channel crossover and interfearence form the surrounding areas could/will be a potential issue for the use of the network. Using the 5ghz will allows for more channels as there are 8 channels meaning less likley interfearence from othe networks.

Having the duel band AP`s installed will allow for expansion at the venue and little effort to the owner to do so, it will also increase the number of channels availble should the surrounding area become more populated with the same frequency channels and help to prevent interfearence from other AP networks.

The TCP will evenly distribute power to the AP`s in the venue allowing maximum signal for the designated areas EIRP.

2,4ghz +5ghz

AP Locations

AP 1- seating area Ap 2- VIP area

AP 3- bar area

Security

6

Using WPA2 this will allow sufficent security to the AP`s in the main part of the building making certain that no outside attempts of hacking the AP network will become succesfull.

The custimers of the venue will be using an open network requiring their devices to log in to the networks in order to gain access to the WiFi.

In addition to this the VIP`s sweet AP will be operating on WPA2 secured access requireing a password to acces the network to enable high profile customers additional security for their devicesand privacey.

All AP`s will be operating on differnt SSID`s, the down stairs will share the same SSID and the VIP room will have its own SSID using a higher power output than the two AP`s down stairs in order to facilitate the VIP`s experince.

The AP`s will be using

l PSK (pre shared key) authentication

l CCMP,TKIP encryption

l AES (RC4) algorythm

l 128 bit keysize

l 48 bit IV

BackhaulUsing the existing back haul from the street we will be able to install the WIFI AP`s effectively without having to implemant a backhaul into the premises, as

ConclusionAfter conducting a survey and starting a plan of the premises it is achievable to implemant the 3 new access points (AP`s) into the premises with very little or minimal disrutption to the work of both the premises staff and installation engineers.

Having this network installed will give excellent coverage to the customers of this music venue and help promote the venue better in accordance with the wishes of the owner.
