To help users quickly understand the typical values of the per-STA bandwidth and concurrency rate and select appropriate AP models, empirical data is summarized and recommended AP models are provided for common scenarios based on previous experience. We take 3 Scenarios for example:
Enterprise Office Scenarios
The enterprise office scenario refers to the office area of an enterprise, including the centralized office area, conference room, and manager office. It is one of the most important application scenarios of the enterprise WLAN. The user density in the enterprise office scenario is high. Therefore, this scenario has a high requirement for network capacity and is sensitive to network quality.
With the rapid increase in the number of user terminals and the popularity of Wi-Fi terminal access, the enterprise office scenario poses a high requirement for concurrent access to the Wi-Fi network, especially in large conference rooms and densely populated office areas. Traditional solutions cannot meet this requirement.

Story height Scenarios
Mobile healthcare is becoming a hot spot in hospital informatization construction. It enables hospitals to break away from the traditional wired application mode and enter the new wireless and mobile application mode.WiFi networks are usually the necessary basis for carrying mobile healthcare services.
Medical IoT greatly improves medical efficiency with its applications in asset management,infant anti-theft, mobile clinical, transfusion monitoring, and personnel positioning. The combination of IoT and Wi-Fi network construction has become the mainstream trend of hospital informatization construction.
