BICSI 008-2018 Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) Systems Design and Implementation Best Practices

standard by BICSI, A Telecommunications Association, 01/01/2018

Full Description

Growth in the WLAN market continues unabated as it continues to enable new digital and business strategies and outcomes. With the development of the 802.11ax protocol, WLAN systems are poised to deliver similar networking speeds commonly available through wired cabling. And as wireless technology has also become an enabler for the rapid growth of the number of IoT and building intelligence devices, designing an effective ICT cabling infrastructure for today and tomorrow's WLAN systems is no longer as simple as proving a cable to a single access point.

ANSI/BICSI 008 provides the requirements and recommendation for design and implementation of the structured cabling system supporting a WLAN. IN addition, information is provided to assist the ICT designer understand concepts within wireless transmission for developing WLAN deployments. The information within BICSI 008 will also be of use to dedicated WLAN designers when planning locations for access points and how placement can be supported by the cabling infrastructure. Additionally, BICSI 008 was designed to work with other BICSI standards, such as BICSI 005 for ESS systems and BICSI 007 for intelligent building systems, enabling ICT cabling infrastructure solutions that are efficient and effective.
