A city stadium Wi-Fi design needs continuous RF security monitoring with dedicated sensors that are not busy serving fans. Which wireless monitoring approach should the architect select?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Serving APs are busy pouring Wi-Fi to the crowd; overlay sensors are the dedicated security cameras watching the RF. Stadium-grade monitoring that cannot miss off-channel threats picks overlay WIPS. Uptime SNMP and tweet sentiment are not rogue detection.
Full Explanation
Overlay WIPS deployments use dedicated sensors (or dedicated radio resources) focused on wireless threat detection rather than depending solely on dual-duty serving APs. High-density venues often require that separation for consistent off-channel visibility and security monitoring. Availability monitoring via SNMP does not replace WIPS rogue and attack detection. Selecting overlay WIPS matches dedicated RF security-monitoring requirements.
