A municipal public-safety outdoor WLAN with sparse AP spacing is choking when patrol bodycams stream uplink video during an incident. Coverage heatmaps still look acceptable. What design change best addresses the uplink-heavy load?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Sparse coverage is like one toll booth on a parade route—cars fit on the map, but uplink video jams the booth. Public-safety bodycams need extra APs and capacity planning where the streams pile up, not just prettier green heatmaps.
Full Explanation
Uplink-heavy applications such as body-worn video consume significant airtime and backhaul that coverage-centric outdoor plans often under-provision. When heatmaps show signal strength but performance collapses under concurrent streams, the remediation is denser, capacity-oriented AP placement and RF planning that explicitly budgets for uplink video. Power cuts or band forcing without capacity redesign do not solve the airtime and association density problem.
