When planning the network for the stadium stand area, which of the following scenarios is suitable for deploying APs using a combination of edge and ceiling coverage?

Question

Options

• AThe maximum number of seats in a single-tier stand is no more than 20 rows
• BThe maximum number of seats in a single-tier stand is no more than 30 rows
• CScenario with more than 30 rows of seats in a single-tier stand
• DThe maximum number of seats in a single-tier stand is no more than 25 rows

• A
  17% (6)
• B
  72% (26)
• C
  8% (3)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option B is correct because wireless network planning guidelines for stadium stands specify that a combined edge-and-ceiling AP deployment strategy is appropriate when a single-tier stand contains no more than 30 rows. This threshold balances signal coverage and capacity: edge APs handle the lower rows while ceiling APs cover upper rows, and 30 rows is the practical limit where this hybrid approach remains effective without over-engineering.

Option A (≤20 rows) is too conservative - a stand that small typically doesn't require the added complexity of combining both deployment types; edge coverage alone may suffice. Option D (≤25 rows) is also incorrect because it sets an unnecessarily low cutoff that doesn't match the standard planning threshold. Option C (more than 30 rows) is wrong because exceeding 30 rows actually moves beyond the suitable range for this combination strategy - larger, deeper stands require a different planning approach (e.g., more distributed or directional APs).

Memory tip: Think "30 rows = go combo." The number 30 is your ceiling (pun intended) for when the edge + ceiling hybrid works. Anything over 30 rows and you've outgrown the strategy; anything under 30 but the question picks the maximum allowed boundary, which is exactly 30 - not 20, not 25.
