Engineers will perform AP-on-a-stick measured design in an unfinished municipal annex. What gear approach supports proper methodology?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
AP-on-a-stick isn’t a circus act—it’s a dress rehearsal at the real height with real power. Tripods and portable PoE keep the radio where the finished mount will be so your survey isn’t a floor-level fairy tale. Hands and cardboard boxes measure a different building.
Full Explanation
Measured AP-on-a-stick surveys require temporary APs positioned at intended mounting height and orientation with stable portable power/PoE. That geometry makes path loss and coverage predictive of the install. Hand-held or floor-level placements and non-representative power methods skew RSSI and invalidate design decisions.
