A parks-department predictive heatmap is fully green at −67 dBm, yet a capacity test with hundreds of clients fails SLAs. What lesson should guide validation?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Green paint on the map means you can hear the AP—not that a stadium of clients will fit. Run real multi-client load tests; coverage is not capacity.
Full Explanation
Signal-coverage heatmaps verify RF reachability against an RSSI/SNR design threshold. Capacity depends on client density, channel reuse, airtime, and application mix. Expert validation includes multi-client load tests and airtime analysis; green maps alone, or unrelated DFS conclusions, misstate readiness.
