Site Survey Theory .... All Comments, Thoughts, and Theories are welcome

Hello All,
I am seeking opinions about a survey methodology that was told to me today.  I have my own thoughts about it but I just want to make sure I'm not off base so any help is greatly appreciated.  The requirements for the wireless network are as follows:
- Data and Voice
- Clients will utilize all bands but newer devices will be pushed to 5GHz 
- Clients are laptops and iPads right now but the future goal is to implement BYOD
So, here is the methodology that was told to me ... "We survey only in the 5GHz spectrum because if you have coverage in that spectrum (5GHz) the coverage in the 2.4GHz will be the fine or even better than that.  Therefore, we feel comfortable not capturing the data in the 2.4GHz spectrum." 
Thoughts about the above statement are welcome!!!
Thanks,
Malwan

The essential question for a high-density design is how many channels for each band will be needed to match the client base? This can be a tricky question since even dual band capable clients do not always select the faster 5 GHz band. Since bandwidth in 2.4 GHz is going to be limited, 5 GHz must be relied on to reach the goal.
Dual band adapters have been shipping with most laptops for some time. This does not mean that every laptop is a dual band client, but many are. Simply having a dual band client does not guarantee that it will choose 5 GHz over 2.4 GHz. The Microsoft Windows operating system defaults to a Wi-Fi channel search that starts with the 5 GHz channel 36 and continues searching through all of the 5 GHz channels that the client is capable of. If no 5 GHz AP is found then it will continue the search in 2.4 GHz starting at channel 1. Unless the Windows default is changed or the user has chosen a third party Wi-Fi utility to set spectrum preference to 2.4 GHz, the client radio will first try to associate to a 5 GHz AP. Apple Computer's latest release for Atheros and Broadcom chipsets also searches 5 GHz first.
The Cisco BandSelect feature enables the infrastructure to optimize these types of client connection choices. Where possible, it helps make sure that devices are attaching to the 5 GHz spectrum channels where interference sources tend to be significantly lighter. A much greater channel selection leads to the alleviation of bandwidth challenges.
Tablet computers and smartphones have begun entering the market at a staggering rate. The vast majority of smartphones shipping today operate in 2.4 GHz only. While many of them are 802.11n clients, of these most have implemented a single input single output (SISO) rather than Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO). A SISO device is only capable of supporting MCS7 data rates, or 54 Mbps.

    Kevin is suggesting that you store the projects you create while working through his book in a folder called RoboHelpProjects. It is not where you have to store every project you ever create.That is for the purposes of his book.
    RoboHelp initially defaults to My RoboHelp Projects but it's up to you whether you do. Generally on the forums we advise against that as  it is part of your profile and can result in excessively long path names in a few cases. Generally where authors create file names that are so long they almost serve as the content.
    Projects always have a root folder, call them Project 1 and Project 2 for this purpose. You can have those folders directly off your C drive (or other local partition) or within in a parent folder as above.
    Now to what you can and cannot do. You can delete a whole project by selecting Project 1 or Project 2 in Windows Explorer. Obviously if you delete the parent folder you will delete all your projects within.
    What you must not do is delete individual files within a project using Windows Explorer, for that you use RoboHelp's Project Manager. The exception is if you go to Tools > Reports there is a report Unused Files. Files listed there will have to be deleted using Windows Explorer for the very good reason they do not appear in Project Manager and, therefore, cannot be deleted that way.
    If you think about it, it is similar to Word. There is no option to delete a document there other than using File > Open and right clicking. Not very intuitive.

  • Discard all comments, forms and multimedia with scripting

    Hi,
    In the PDF Optimiser under "Discard User Data" there is an option to "Discard all comments, forms and multimedia".
    This will remove multimedia from a pdf file.
    Can any one please advise if this can be done using javascript?
    I have looked in the javascript reference but cannot find anything in relation to this.
    Any assistance will be most appreciated, thank you.

    Thank you very much George.
    I have found where to remove multimedia in preflight under the "Select Single Fix Ups" then "Interactive Elements and Properties" then "Remove 3D annotations"
    I was unable to find this in the "select profiles" section of preflight.
    Placed "Remove 3D Annotations" as the preflight name but the script is not working.
    Can you please advise how I can get the script to work?
    var oProfile = Preflight.getProfileByName("Remove 3D Annotations")
    if( oProfile != undefined )
    var oThermometer = app.thermometer;
    var myPreflightResult = this.preflight( oProfile, false, oThermometer);
    if( myPreflightResult.numErrors > 0 ) {
    console.println( "Preflight found " + myPreflightResult.numErrors + " Errors.");
    } else {
    console.println( "Preflight found no Errors.");

  • I have spent probably a few hundred dollars on movies, music and apps on itunes. I have only ever downloaded this on my iPhone. I plugged my iphone into a laptop and now all my music and videos are not showing up on available downloads. WHAT DO I DO?!

    All of my music is gone. I have no idea how to get it back and Im worried because it isnt showing up on available downloads.

    Isn't iTunes 10.5 r 9 a beta release for developers?  If that's the case then isn't there a special web site for developers to discuss issues (and they are not supposed to discuss them on the public forum)?  If you're not a developer and have this through unofficial channels then I'm not sure you can expect full functionality.

  • My pc crashed and I lost all my pictures and music that was stored on the pc.  Now i have a new pc and when i connect to itunes using my password all my music and photos are not available.  they appear to be lost.

    my pc crashed and i lost all my pictures and music that was stored on the pc. now i have a new pc and when i log into itunes all my music and photos are not available.  I guess i dont understand the pupose of itunes and its worth.  I thought it backed up all my photos and music, but apparently not.  So what do I use so that when i lose data on  my pc i can retrieve it again at a later date or after a crash?/

    Your content will only be where you put it.  It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Device>Transfer purchases.
    You can import your pics taken with the iphone as you would with any digital camera.
    You can e-mail the other pics to yourself, they will never be of the original quality.
    You can out a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer.  You should get the option to merge the data when you sync.

  • I turned on my macbook pro and ALL my libraries and albums are gone from iPhoto, any ideas

    I turned on my macbook pro and ALL my libraries and albums are gone from iPhoto, any ideas
    I already tried the hold down option command key and rebuild, didn't work
    HELP PLEASE
    no I do not have a bckup

    What size if the Library as indicated in the Finder?  If it's large enough to be holding your photos then your photos are probably still in there but the library is damaged.  If the tags you used indicate iLife 11 then try the following:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button,                         
    navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option             
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
    If the above falils to recover your photos continue with this:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • Yup all my apps and music are gone now

    Well just like everyone else ios 5 jacked up my phone. I was going to look and check other peoples post so I didnt post the same issue someone else had but this site is running so slow! no doubt because so many people are having issues. I updated itunes first then i updated. However it couldnt back up my phone. But it said I could continue to update so I did. It updated me to 5 but it also returned my iphone 4 to factory settings Luckily I had backed up the night before so I tried to restore from back up. It took soooo long! and when my phone restarted and had me configure icloud settings. But when I looked through my stuff I had my contacts, e mail, pictures, and texts. But all my apps and music are missing! So I tried to restore again thinking ok I set up my icloud stuff so maybe now all my stuff will be back. And nope 30-40 mins later still the same!!!! *** I guess I can consider myself lucky since others dont even have their contacts. But man im ****** I had stuff to do today and instead I wasted my time with this update! And I still dont have my apps and music. How could apple have failed so bad?

    Yep, same here. Literally, this happens EVERYTIME I update my iphone. Thousands of songs and tons of apps - all gone. I believe I've tried everything to get it all back, but no success.
    Think it's time I chuck my iPhone out the window and boycott Apple.

  • HT204053 i used the same apple id for my iphone and my husbands now all our contacts and such are on both phones how do i fix this.  I dont need his contacts on my phone and the other way also.  Should i create a different icloud account for his phone?

    I used the same apple id for my iphone and my husbands now all our contacts and such are together.  How do I undo this?  Do i create him a different icloud account? 

    Yes, start with deleting your account on his device:
    (Settings > iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Your Account)
    In the next step, create a new account on his device:
    (Settings > iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Your Account)

  • How do I change the phone number attached to my Icloud? All the codes and stuff are being sent to my old number.

    How do I change the phone number attached to my Icloud? All the codes and stuff are being sent to my old number.

    Hello Babyygrl23,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like your iCloud Apple ID has a phone number associated with it that you would like to update. If this is the case, after signing in to the linked website below, you will see a section on the left side of the screen labeled Phone Numbers. You can edit the phone number associated with that account from there.

  • HT203175 I plugged my iPod into the computer and it says that my iPod is synced with another iTunes library, but it's not. So all my music and apps are gone. What can I do to remind the computer its the right iTunes library and get all my stuff back?

    Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one.  Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

  • My partner and I share the powerbook and I use my iPad, Though we each log in with separate accounts all my pics and music are in both libraries .   Can I isolate accounts from iCloud ?

    Not quite sure exactly what you want to do, but you cannot do it on a PowerBook. iCloud requires Lion and Lion requires an Intel MacBook or MacBook Pro.

    Try a hard reset:- hold the home button AND the power switch - ignore the red "Slide to power off" and wait ubntil the iPhone powers down, and then restarts - at the Apple logo, release all the buttons and see if your contacts reappear.
