Designing for Coverage vs. Throughput in High-Density Testing Environments

In high-density testing environments like cafeterias or gyms, it's crucial to consider the trade-off between designing for coverage or throughput when setting up wireless access points. While designing for coverage ensures signal reach, planning for throughput means having an access point for every 30 to 50 clients to manage the traffic efficiently. Consider factors like client density, device usage, and budget constraints to make an informed decision on access point deployment.
