A public works van provides crew tablets through a phone's mobile hotspot. How should an OSWP-minded assessor classify that hotspot's role?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
That hotspot is still the little café Wi-Fi box — clients join it, it plays AP. Form factor doesn't change the infrastructure BSS idea: one device is the access point others associate to.
Full Explanation
Consumer mobile hotspots typically operate as access points that create an infrastructure BSS for associated stations. Clients authenticate/associate to that AP role rather than forming a pure IBSS of peers. For assessment framing, treat the hotspot as providing AP service on the air even when upstream connectivity is cellular.
