CWS CWS Organizational WLAN Goals 5 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A financial institution requires that all wireless communications be encrypted. Which WLAN goal category does this fall under?
- Performance optimization
- Regulatory and security compliance (Correct answer)
- Cost minimization
- Coverage maximization
Correct answer: Regulatory and security compliance
Mandatory encryption of wireless communications is a security and compliance requirement driven by financial industry regulations.
Question 2: Which of the following is an example of a QUANTIFIABLE organizational WLAN goal?
- The network should be fast
- Users should be able to connect easily
- Minimum data rate of 25 Mbps per client in all coverage areas (Correct answer)
- Security should be good
Correct answer: Minimum data rate of 25 Mbps per client in all coverage areas
A quantifiable goal specifies measurable criteria, such as a minimum data rate, that can be validated during testing.
Question 3: An organization plans to deploy Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) as part of its WLAN upgrade. Which goal MOST likely drives this decision?
- Supporting higher client density with improved efficiency (Correct answer)
- Reducing the number of SSIDs in use
- Removing legacy device support
- Lowering antenna gain
Correct answer: Supporting higher client density with improved efficiency
Wi-Fi 6 introduces OFDMA and BSS Coloring to handle dense client environments more efficiently, directly supporting high-density goals.
Question 4: Which factor should be gathered from stakeholders FIRST when defining organizational WLAN goals?
- Preferred equipment vendor
- Types of applications and devices that will use the WLAN (Correct answer)
- Number of antennas per access point
- Channel width preferences
Correct answer: Types of applications and devices that will use the WLAN
Understanding the applications and devices used determines capacity, coverage, security, and performance requirements for the WLAN.
Question 5: A manufacturing plant needs its WLAN to support automated guided vehicles (AGVs). Which WLAN goal is MOST critical for this use case?
- Predictable, low-latency connectivity with no coverage gaps (Correct answer)
- Maximum downlink throughput only
- Open authentication for easy onboarding
- Minimizing the number of access points
Correct answer: Predictable, low-latency connectivity with no coverage gaps
AGVs require consistent, low-latency connections without roaming disruptions to navigate safely and reliably.
Question 6: When an organization defines a WLAN goal of 'supporting BYOD (Bring Your Own Device),' which design consideration becomes most important?
- Onboarding, authentication, and device policy enforcement (Correct answer)
- Using only proprietary client hardware
- Disabling DHCP for all users
- Reducing SSID broadcast intervals
Correct answer: Onboarding, authentication, and device policy enforcement
BYOD goals require robust onboarding processes, identity-based authentication, and policies to manage diverse personal devices securely.
Question 7: Which of the following WLAN goals would MOST influence the decision to deploy a distributed antenna system (DAS) instead of traditional APs?
- Covering a large stadium or arena with thousands of simultaneous users (Correct answer)
- Supporting a single-floor office with 50 employees
- Providing Wi-Fi for a small retail kiosk
- Deploying Wi-Fi in a residential home
Correct answer: Covering a large stadium or arena with thousands of simultaneous users
Large venues like stadiums require DAS to distribute RF signals evenly across a massive space with extreme user density.
