8 Example Deployments
In this section we address a few example deployments and take you through the necessary steps
required to deploy a network. It can be used as a reference for creating your own Deployment Plan
and the installation after that.
8.1 Example: Office Building
As indicated in the previous sections, we start with an empty map (see Illustration 32). We visually
inspected the site and found plenty of locations for mounting the MRs. Additionally, we checked for
AC power outlets and marked all the outlets on the map (see Illustration 33).
Next, we identified all the locations where we want to place our SPs. For this example we use SP3000
and they need to be placed in every room in order to monitor the different room temperatures. A PC
is connected to the Ethernet and placed centrally in the building and used for connecting to the GW
(see Illustration 34).
Following that, a few locations for placing the MRs are selected, making sure that every SmartPoint
was covered and that most MRs were in range of at least one other MR (see Illustration 35), depicted
with the circles. In this example the range of the MicroRouter-MicroRouter is not depicted.
8.2 Example: Warehouse
The approach for a large warehouse is more or less the same. Please see Illustration 36. In the
warehouse environment there is not always the opportunity to place the gateway in the center of the
building, therefore it will be placed in one of the offices on the right bottom side of the illustration.
On all 'regular' and 'loading' doors SmartPoints will be placed as well as a relative large number of
SmartPoints in the center of the building. Routers will be placed on sites were AC outlets were
available. In the corners of the building and on 3 places in the centre.
