Question

The IT department of a medium-sized company is preparing to implement a new wireless network to enhance mobility and productivity within the workplace.

The IT team has conducted an in-depth analysis of the office layout and user requirements and now faces the task of strategically positioning the wireless access points (WAPs) throughout the office. The team understands the potential risks and challenges involved in wireless deployments.

Which considerations should the IT team take into account when strategically positioning the wireless access points (WAPs) in the company's new wireless network? (Select two.)

answer

Minimizing interference from nearby electronic devices to enhance network performance.


Ensuring the WAPs are accessible only to employees with specific job roles and responsibilities.


Positioning WAPs based on the design preferences of the company's management.


Optimal coverage of the office area to ensure reliable connectivity for all users.


Making sure the service set identifier (SSID) that associates a name with a wireless network is disabled.

Answer 1

- Minimizing interference from nearby electronic devices to enhance network performance.
- Optimal coverage of the office area to ensure reliable connectivity for all users.

Rationale: WAP placement should avoid sources of RF interference (microwaves, cordless phones, large metal objects) and be planned to provide sufficient signal strength and overlap for seamless connectivity and capacity.
