Wi-Fi Signal penetration

For the usual location, which location will give more challenge to Wi-Fi penetration? School? Office with full furnish? Factory with a lot of machinery? Warehouse with ton of item? Even library full of book???

The usual toughest location for Wi-Fi penetration is hotel environment. The usual location here means place that normally need Wi-Fi services but not unique location like Pentagon, White House or in Malaysia Prime Minister's Office (just a few random example only). The mentioned location will give challenge to Wi-Fi signal caused by unique building structure itself.

If you are professional Wi-Fi vendor in Malaysia, definitely you will face signal penetration issue with most of your hotel project. You will have issue like weak signal strength in certain room after deployment if the access point not placing in every single room. Hotel with 20 rooms you still afford to put 20 access point. But how about a hotel with 200 or 2000 rooms? Are you going to request your customer to buy 200 or 2000 units? If you doing so, for sure the quote will make your customer heart attack. But if you didn't, guest room signal penetration is weak (even death spot). Hotel normally is build with very good sound and fire proof system. This is definitely good for hotel guest but is totally not for Wi-Fi radio frequency. Wi-Fi signal is one type of RF, if you block the sound from penetration means you will block the Wi-Fi signal as well. As a result, access point located along the corridor not able to send the signal to the guest inside the hotel room.
