Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for optimizing the placement of RF components within an environment. The system operates by defining a spatial model associated with the environment, determining a first placement location of the RF device within the spatial model, determining a coverage area associated with the RF device, identifying a set of gaps associated with the coverage area, calculating a coverage metric based on the set of gaps, determining a second placement location of the RF device within the spatial model based on the coverage metric, and placing the AP in the second placement location within the environment if the coverage metric is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold.
