Why each option
To provide comprehensive wireless coverage throughout a square office using a single, centrally located Access Point (AP), an omnidirectional antenna is the most effective choice.
A directional antenna focuses its signal in a specific narrow beam, which would only cover a limited portion of the square office and leave other areas without adequate wireless connectivity.
Polarized refers to the orientation of the electromagnetic waves, not the overall radiation pattern, and is not a type of antenna chosen for general room coverage.
A Yagi antenna is a highly directional antenna type used for long-distance point-to-point connections or specific area coverage, making it unsuitable for broad 360-degree office coverage from a central point.
An omnidirectional antenna radiates radio signals equally in all horizontal directions (360 degrees), making it perfectly suited for covering a broad, open area like an office from a central deployment point, ensuring uniform signal distribution.
