An engineer is planning for a 24 Mbps data rate for a new installation. What is the coverage area from the AP if the environment and other factors are not taken into consideration?

The correct answer is A. 225 feet. Coverage (Cell Size) Lower data rates can be demodulated across greater distances than higher data rates. This is because of the lower complexity encoding schemes -- the signal can be understood at a lower SNR. Enable lower data rates in order to increase the effective range of…

Explanation

Coverage (Cell Size) Lower data rates can be demodulated across greater distances than higher data rates. This is because of the lower complexity encoding schemes -- the signal can be understood at a lower SNR. Enable lower data rates in order to increase the effective range of the AP; disable the lower data rates in order to decrease the effective range of the AP.
