Designing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks (ENWLSD) — Question 188

An engineer is designing a wireless network for a manufacturing facility that has high steel shelves. Which antenna type must be used?

Answer options

• A. outdoor omnidirectional
• B. patch
• C. indoor omnidirectional
• D. dipole

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as patch antennas are ideal for environments with obstacles like steel shelves, providing directional coverage with minimal interference. Options A and C are not suitable due to their omnidirectional nature, which can lead to signal loss in such settings, and option D, while useful in some situations, does not provide the focused coverage needed here.
