When designing a WLAN for VoIP, what percentage of airtime utilization and RSSI threshold should be maintained?
For Voice-over-Wi-Fi (VoWiFi) deployments, RUCKUS recommends maintaining airtime utilization under 50% and ensuring a minimum RSSI of --65 dBm at the edge of coverage areas to guarantee clear call quality and low latency.
According to RUCKUS One Online Help -- WLAN Design for Real-Time Applications and RUCKUS AI Documentation -- VoIP Quality Optimization, these thresholds ensure a Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) above 25 dB, keeping jitter under 30 ms and packet loss below 1%.
RUCKUS SmartCast QoS automatically prioritizes voice packets (802.11e WMM Voice AC) to further protect call performance, but maintaining low channel congestion remains critical.
RUCKUS Analytics 3.5 User Guide -- Airtime and Voice Traffic Metrics emphasizes monitoring airtime utilization through dashboards to verify compliance with design thresholds.
