300-360 · Question #239
A wireless consultant is deploying an outdoor mesh network. Which two factors must be considered? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is C. network connectivity D. mounting. Outdoor mesh deployments must prioritize where wired network connectivity exists for the Root Access Point and how each node will be physically mounted to ensure proper RF coverage and backhaul line-of-sight.

Why each option
Outdoor mesh deployments must prioritize where wired network connectivity exists for the Root Access Point and how each node will be physically mounted to ensure proper RF coverage and backhaul line-of-sight.
Buildings are an environmental RF obstacle addressed during standard site survey and path-loss calculations, not a distinct deployment factor unique to outdoor mesh design methodology.
Traffic lights operate on municipal electrical and control systems and do not constitute a recognized RF or topological factor in wireless mesh network design.
Network connectivity is a primary design factor because at least one mesh node - the Root Access Point (RAP) - requires a wired Ethernet connection to the distribution network to serve as the gateway for all mesh backhaul traffic; identifying available wired drops drives the entire topology.
Mounting considerations determine the physical height, orientation, and structural attachment of outdoor APs, which directly control RF coverage radius, line-of-sight quality for the wireless backhaul links between mesh nodes, and compliance with local installation regulations.
Satellite dishes operate in frequency bands well above Wi-Fi and are not a standard consideration in outdoor Wi-Fi mesh deployments; they do not meaningfully affect 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz mesh backhaul links.
