The session focused on the concept of cell overlap in Wi-Fi network design, specifically addressing the fallacy of quantifying cell overlap as a percentage. Ferney explained that the idea of requiring a certain percentage of cell overlap, such as 30%, is not measurable or practical due to the irregular shapes of real-world Wi-Fi coverage areas. He demonstrated using design tools like Ekahau and Hamina to show how secondary coverage, which provides multiple signals for redundancy and roaming, is achieved by adding more access points rather than targeting a specific overlap percentage. The discussion highlighted the need to educate customers and peers to remove such unverifiable requirements from RFPs and contracts. The session also briefly touched on the life cycle of a project, which was postponed for a future discussion.
