Why each option
When choosing between a wired Ethernet uplink and a wireless 5GHz point-to-point link for a WAP, site survey results provide crucial environmental data like signal strength, interference, and coverage that directly impact the feasibility and performance of a wireless connection.
Site survey results provide critical information on existing RF environments, potential interference, line-of-sight issues, and signal propagation, which are essential for determining the viability and expected performance of a 5GHz point-to-point wireless link versus a wired Ethernet connection.
A physical diagram shows the physical layout of devices and cabling but does not contain information about wireless signal quality, interference, or the suitability of a wireless link.
A service-level agreement (SLA) defines performance metrics and availability requirements but does not provide the technical information needed to choose between specific connectivity methods.
A logical diagram illustrates network topology, IP addressing, and routing, which is irrelevant for assessing the physical layer characteristics of a wireless link.
