Evaluación el estado actual de la red inalámbrica WLAN del campus Virgen del Rosario de la Universidad de Pamplona.

Abstract

In the present project, a wireless WLAN coverage study was carried out at the Virgen del Rosario headquarters and the Veterinary Clinic of the University of Pamplona, reflecting the current state of the network and areas with low or no coverage. The determination of the zones of low intensity of wireless signal, is obtained by means of the collection of information of the current configurations and the information of the data sheet of the points of access (AP) as well as that of receivers of wireless signal, of which portable computers and mobile telephones were chosen; emphasizing parameters like gain, sensitivity and power of transmission. Once this information is available, we proceed to use the Wireless InSite software in its demo version, which is used in the simulation of the current coverage of the wireless network; generating a coverage intensity map in all access points currently installed in the Virgen del Rosario headquarters and the inSIDDer software in its free version for collecting the strength level of the signal received (RSSI) in the low coverage areas of the headquarters. Taking into account the current state of the wireless network, information is collected by means of the controller (WLC) through the visualization of the users that connect to the network in real time and two network designs are made, in which the installation of new access points (AP) is proposed; configurations of bandwidth, power and channels. The design number 1 is chosen as the most suitable for implementation, because it takes into account parameters such as (Coverage, Capacity and Quality), thus allowing to have a robust wireless WLAN throughout the headquarters and Veterinary Clinic, improving the current WIFI service and benefiting the entire university community
