Because paying for a consultant is a hell of a lot less expensive than wasting money on equipment for a poorly designed project.
Consider what I have posted many times in other forums, Quote:
From history, it is well known that a street level laptop or smartphone can use the AP up to 500 feet to 1,500 feet.
It will very likely work up to 500 feet.
It might work past 500 feet, or it might not.
It might work up to 1,500 feet, or it might not.
It will very unlikely work past 1,500 feet.
This is all assuming you have a clear line of sight (no trees or buildings in the way), and outdoors. If indoors, you will be very lucky to get 500 feet.
Example - Where customer is outside, like in a park, and you can see the AP with nothing in the way.
Less than 100 feet, you will have have good signal.
From 100 feet to 500 feet, you will very likely have good signal.
From 500 feet to 1,000 feet, you will likely have good signal.
From 1,000 feet to 1,500 feet, you might have good signal.
Over 1,500 feet and it will *likely not work*.
If there are trees in the way, you may get one half of the above distances.
If there is a building in the way, you may get one tenth of the above distances.
If you are inside, you may get one tenth of the above distances.
If you have a smartphone, you may get one half of the above distances.
