A municipal operations center needs overnight monitoring of a council chamber for intermittent RF events. When should AP- or sensor-based spectrum be preferred over a handheld analyzer walk-around?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Overnight ghosts in the council chamber need a night watchman, not a thirty-second flashlight peek. AP- or sensor-based spectrum sits there for hours and catches what a walk-around misses. Handhelds are great for hunting once you know when and where to look.
Full Explanation
Infrastructure spectrum (AP-based or dedicated sensors) provides continuous monitoring suitable for intermittent overnight events that a brief handheld snapshot will miss. Handheld analyzers remain valuable for directed hunting and validation, but they require an operator present. Continuous sensor data covers multi-hour windows and correlates events after hours without staffing a walk-around.
