A multi-site city WLAN is built around a controller that manages the access points. Which AP type does that describe?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Controller-based APs are the workers that take orders from a central boss—the WLAN controller. Multi-site city gear often looks like that. Name the architecture; do not confuse it with a lonely closet AP that runs itself.
Full Explanation
Controller-based APs are selected when the WLAN architecture uses a controller (or equivalent centralized control plane) to manage APs across sites. That is distinct from fully autonomous APs and from unrelated personal hotspot devices. CWTS technicians identify AP type from how the system is managed.
