Abstract

A method for optimizing the area coverage of a wireless network may include a lamp to perform this method. The lamp may have an input for connecting a network, a power supply unit for supplying all components of the lamp with an electric power taken from the input, a control unit for controlling the components of the lamp, at least one light source from the power supply unit and controlled by the control unit, and a network access point for providing at least one wireless network. The lamp may include at least one antenna associated with the network access point. The light source and antenna may be arranged and designed such that the radiation characteristics of the light are congruent with the radiation characteristics of the antenna of the wireless network.
