Heat Maps

Heat maps are graphical representations of wireless signal strength across a specific area, typically generated using specialized software or tools.

1. Visualizing Signal Coverage: Heat maps provide a visual representation of the signal coverage of a wireless network in a specific area.
2. Identifying Signal Strength Variations: Heat maps help identify signal strength variations within the coverage area.
3. Optimal Access Point Placement: By overlaying the heat map with the physical layout of the area, network administrators can identify the most appropriate locations for access point placement.
4. Channel and Frequency Planning: Heat maps assist in channel and frequency planning, helping administrators choose the least congested and interference-free channels for access points.
5. Network Optimization: Heat maps aid in the optimization of the wireless network, ensuring efficient configuration and reliable coverage.
