... 39 C H A P T E R 4 Strategic planning as it relates to technology as a whole, and in this case specifically WiFi, requires a few key components to effectively phase and ultimately execute. Proper technology planning can help organizations visualize some of the roadblocks they may encounter, and ultimately better serve their customers.

... 40 A Guidebook for Mitigating Disruptive WiFi Interference at Airports organizations realize the many different operational functions at their airport, and specifically how they affect their WiFi, both now and into the future. As an example, rather than the airfield operations department developing WiFi to support their inspection of vehicles, while the airport's security department installs a wireless perimeter intrusion detection system, the organization can create a common plan that ensures coexistence, or even potentially shares a common WiFi system that everyone can utilize.
From page 41...
... Strategic Planning for Wireless Networks 41 Generally the strategic plan divides into planning for the public network, stakeholders, and the airport's own operational uses for the WiFi network. The level of service desired can be very different between the three and may impact overall network design.

... 42 A Guidebook for Mitigating Disruptive WiFi Interference at Airports From analyzing the airport traffic, the next step is to estimate the number of associated devices and the number of active devices expected to be used. A rule of thumb used to be that 25% of travelers have a device that can connect to the network.
From page 43...
... Strategic Planning for Wireless Networks 43 is defined by the user, the identified metrics, as well as the equipment capabilities. It can be defined as the individual link data throughput, the aggregate throughput on a link under load, or the average or peak load on a network.
