An engineer is deploying an outdoor Mesh network. Which four major factors should be considered? (Choose four.)
The correct answer is A. power E. line of sight F. network connectivity H. mounting. Outdoor mesh deployments require careful planning around four major factors. Power (A): outdoor nodes need either PoE runs, solar, or other power sources - availability is often the biggest constraint.

Explanation
Outdoor mesh deployments require careful planning around four major factors. Power (A): outdoor nodes need either PoE runs, solar, or other power sources - availability is often the biggest constraint. Line of sight (E): mesh backhaul links (especially on 5 GHz) depend heavily on clear or near-clear line of sight between nodes; obstructions drastically degrade throughput. Network connectivity (F): at least one mesh node must connect to the wired network as a root AP/MAP; determining where that wired uplink exists is critical to the design. Mounting (H): outdoor APs require weather-rated mounting structures (poles, walls, brackets) that must be planned and sometimes permitted. Traffic lights, satellite dishes, and power lines are environmental obstacles to note but are not considered 'major factors' in the standard outdoor mesh design framework.
