A multi-story public-safety training academy with dorm-style rooms shows strong inter-floor co-channel interference. What design focus best controls multi-floor bleed?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Floors are not Faraday cages—signals punch through slabs like neighbors arguing through thin apartments. Stagger channels vertically, mind power and antenna aiming, and respect how much the floor really attenuates. Same channel stacked floor-on-floor is a CCI sandwich.
Full Explanation
Multi-floor designs must treat vertical reuse as a first-class RF constraint. Channel assignment, transmit power, antenna pattern/orientation, and measured floor attenuation should minimize harmful bleed while preserving coverage. Identical stacked channels and maximum power amplify CCI. Falling back to 2.4 GHz worsens reuse scarcity and does not solve disciplined vertical planning.
