A city drone team's ground station uses a directional antenna for a control Wi-Fi link. What still holds true about 802.11 fundamentals?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A spotlight doesn't invent a new language — it just lights a narrower patch of the stage. Directional antennas steer energy and range, but you're still speaking 802.11 with the same SSID/BSSID and security-model vocabulary.
Full Explanation
Antenna choice affects radiation pattern, gain, and practical range, which matters for RF planning and assessment geometry. It does not redefine core 802.11 identifiers such as SSID/BSSID or replace standard security models with a different protocol class. Assessors should still reason about association, encryption posture, and framing the same way, while accounting for a tighter or longer RF footprint.
