Wireless access point heat maps visually represent the strength and coverage of Wi-Fi signals within a specific area by displaying color-coded data on signal quality and intensity. These maps help network administrators identify areas with strong connectivity, as well as dead zones or areas suffering from interference or weak signals. By analyzing heat maps, organizations can optimize the placement of access points, enhance network performance, and ensure a more reliable wireless experience for users. Heat maps are essential tools in both the planning and troubleshooting stages of wireless network management.
