A city parks crew needs Wi-Fi in one remote equipment shed with no campus controller licenses and no cloud tenancy budgeted. Which AP architecture should the technician select for that single site?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
One lonely shed does not need a whole orchestra conductor. An autonomous AP is the solo act—set it up on site and it plays without a controller license or cloud seat. Match the architecture to the scale you actually have.
Full Explanation
Technician-level AP selection matches management architecture to operational reality. A single remote shed without controller licenses or cloud budget fits an autonomous AP that is configured locally. Controller-based APs depend on controller reachability and licensing, and cloud APs still need the cloud management service the city did not fund.
