Network Requirements (Wi-Fi)

While using Wi-Fi is not mandatory in of itself, many modern devices can only connect to the Veloce POS system trough Wi-Fi. Those include Android or Apple tablets, as well as some payment terminals.

To ensure stability and security with the Veloce POS system, certain requirements must be met when using Wi-Fi.

General Wi-Fi requirements

Requirements
Notes

SSID

Unique SSID for the POS system

The POS system needs to have its own SSID, which needs to be segregated from other services such as guest Wi-Fi access.

Encryption

WPA2 or better

Always use the latest and most secure encryption standard available, along with a strong passphrase.

Protocol

Wi-Fi 5 (802.11 ac) or better

Use recent access point hardware which supports the latest protocols. These devices are typically backwards-compatible with older clients (tablets phones, laptops, etc.)

Speed

100 Mbits/s or better

Wi-Fi 5 supports up to 6933 Mbits/s. Avoid using client devices which support less than 100 Mbits/s Wi-Fi speed.

Minimum signal strength

55 to 60 dBm

Use signal measuring devices to make sure the signal is strong enough to cover the area where Wi-Fi devices will be is use.

Wi-Fi Access Point Coverage

Despite the claims of various manufacturers, an average Wi-Fi access point will efficiently cover approximately 2000 square feet, which corresponds to a floor measuring 40' x 50'. Many factors can affect coverage of access points, such as the thickness of walls, various obstacles like support columns, the presence of electrical equipment and wiring, as well as other communication devices which can create interference.

To estimate your needs in terms of Wireless Access Points, use the following rules:

  • Minimum one access point per floor.

  • Minimum one access point per outside space.

  • One access point per 2000 sq. ft. of floor space.

For example, if a restaurant has two floors and an outside patio, we already know that at least 3 access points will be required. (1 AP per floor and 1 AP per outside space)

Next, we need to account for the square footage:

  • 3000 sq. ft. on the ground floor.

  • 1000 sq. ft. on the second floor.

  • 500 sq.ft. on an outside patio.

This means this restaurant would need a minimum of 4 access points:

  • 2 access points to cover the ground floor, since that floor exceeds 2000 sq. ft.

  • 1 access point to cover the second floor. (You need at least one access point per floor)

  • 1 access point to cover the patio. (You need at least one access point per outside space)
