Budget caps how many weatherproof outdoor enclosures a county fairgrounds WLAN can buy. How should the designer balance AP density versus antennas?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Money limits how many outdoor boxes you can hang, so you trade density for smarter antenna patterns—like covering a fairground with a few well-aimed floodlights instead of a hundred night-lights. One max-power omni in the middle is the classic interference generator. Budget is a design input, not a reason to gut security or abandon RF planning.
Full Explanation
Budget constraints on outdoor APs/enclosures force explicit trade-offs between AP count and antenna directivity/gain while still meeting coverage and capacity. A single high-power omni often creates CCI and dead zones. Removing security or abandoning outdoor WLAN design is not a professional RF trade-off.
