Before running a predictive design for a city services building, which inputs should the designer insist on gathering?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Predictive design without real floor plans and PoE budgets is doodling on a napkin. Get scaled drawings and switch power headroom first so AP counts aren’t fiction. Splash-page slogans don’t place access points.
Full Explanation
Accurate CAD/floor plans and known switch PoE capacity are essential DSM/design inputs. Missing scale or power budget produces invalid AP counts and stranded APs after install. Cosmetic SSID preferences do not replace infrastructure discovery.
