Leadership proposes one high-power AP to “cover” an entire municipal service lobby that fails capacity tests at lunch. What CWNE-aligned capacity response should replace that idea?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
One megaphone in a crowded lobby doesn’t create more conversation time—it just shouts farther. Capacity needs more small cells, not one louder AP. Turn the power down, add APs, and let lunch-hour clients share airtime across neighbors.
Full Explanation
Capacity is improved by reducing cell size (lower power, more APs, planned channels) so concurrent clients contend in smaller collision domains. Transmit power alone is not a capacity lever and often increases CCI/OBSS. Collapsing to a single loud AP or a large 2.4 GHz cell concentrates airtime demand and typically worsens lunch-hour performance.
