A city is migrating recreation-center WLAN to Wi-Fi 6E. Existing mounts and cable plants vary by age. What upgrade-design decision must the specifications address?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
6E is not a sticker on an old AP. Some mounts and cables can stay; some cannot feed power or multi-gig. Spec the reuse-versus-replace calls before procurement.
Full Explanation
WLAN upgrade designs must decide reuse versus rip-and-replace based on PoE budget, multi-gig uplinks, mounting suitability, and RF requirements for Wi-Fi 6E—including 6 GHz operation. Blanket reuse risks underpowered or under-fed APs; unnecessary full rip-and-replace wastes budget. Specifications should document those constraints explicitly.
