Abstract
Wireless communication systems are crucial for variety of applications, necessitating continuous operation and high availability. Dead zones, interferences, and bad overlapping all result into discontinuous communication and this numerous dis-advantages led to the prompting of this study. Thegoal of this study is to establish a robust wireless network architecture that guarantees constant connectivity. This was made possible through the use of various software’s such as; Tamosoft, Ruckus ZoneFlex T300, Ekehau Heatmap, and Riverbed. Ekehau Heatmap was employed to analyze the existing network system for continuous communication, Tamosoft was employed to perform out a throughput test to determine the distance area while Riverbed was used to design a network system using dual access points (APs) with micro controller and one service set identifier (SSID) that was embedded in the Ruckus ZoneFlex T300. At the end of the research, a vast area was covered by three APs and one SSID. An extended range of network coverage can be achieved with numerous APs and one SSID, based on the data that was recoded. Based on the analysis, a 15000 x 15000 kilometer for continuous communication was designed
