Designing Wi-Fi forLarge Public Venues (LPV)such as stadiums, arenas, or convention centers requires a highly strategic RF approach to handleextreme client densityanddynamic environmental factors.

According toRUCKUS One Online Help – High-Density Design Best PracticesandRUCKUS AI Documentation – LPV Deployment Planning, three critical considerations are:

Expected number of devices (B):Determines AP count, bandwidth capacity, and airtime utilization. LPV environments often exceed one device per seat, requiring precise capacity planning.

Effect of human bodies on RF propagation (D):Human absorption of 2.4 GHz and partial reflection of 5 GHz signals dramatically affects coverage. RUCKUS recommends directional antennas and elevated AP placement to overcome this.

Versions of iOS and Android (F):Client device capability (e.g., Wi-Fi 5/6 support, roaming features) influences channel width, band steering, and roaming design.

Other factors like WAN speed and charging stations are operational but not primary design variables in LPV RF engineering.
