A vendor demo at a county IT summit claims 'spectrum AI auto-fixes everything,' so predictive and measured surveys are unnecessary before a courthouse WLAN refresh. What should the CWNE-level recommendation be?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Cool AI dashboards are helpers, not a hall pass to skip walking the courthouse with real spectrum and survey data. Expert practice still gathers evidence before and after changes. Ping-from-the-NOC isn't an RF acceptance test.
Full Explanation
Marketing automation claims do not remove the need for spectrum characterization, predictive or measured surveys, and post-deploy validation in complex municipal environments. Expert RF design still depends on site-specific evidence for coverage, capacity, and interference. Canceling surveys, swapping to unplanned consumer mesh, or validating only with remote ICMP checks leaves critical RF risks unmeasured.
