An engineer is preparing for an active site survey of a warehouse and is informed that they should not enter any areas that are blocked by supplies that are difficult to move. Which option describes…

Question

Options

• AUtilize a predictive tool to define coverage in off-limits areas.
• BEducate the customer about the importance of accurate and complete measurements
• CExtrapolate restricted access areas by drawing circles for AP coverage.
• DSurvey hallways, common areas, and storerooms.

• A
  80% (20)
• B
  4% (1)
• C
  8% (2)
• D
  8% (2)

Explanation

When physical access to areas is restricted during an active site survey, the engineer should use a predictive site survey tool (A) to model RF coverage in the inaccessible areas. Predictive tools use the building's floor plan and physical material properties (wall types, ceiling height) to simulate signal propagation without requiring physical presence. Educating the customer (B) does not solve the problem. Drawing circles for AP coverage (C) is an oversimplification that does not account for real-world RF behavior such as reflections and attenuation. Limiting the survey to hallways and storerooms (D) leaves significant coverage areas unmeasured and could result in a poorly designed deployment.
