CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 309

A large metropolitan city is looking to standardize the ability for police department laptops to connect to the city government's VPN. The city would like a wireless solution that provides the largest coverage across the city with a minimal number of transmission towers. Latency and overall bandwidth needs are not high priorities. Which of the following would BEST meet the city's needs?

Answer options

• A. 5G
• B. LTE
• C. Wi-Fi 4
• D. Wi-Fi 5
• E. Wi-Fi 6

Correct answer: B

Explanation

LTE is well-suited for providing extensive coverage with fewer transmission towers, making it ideal for large metropolitan areas. While 5G offers higher speeds and lower latency, it requires a denser infrastructure, which contradicts the city's goal of minimizing transmission towers. Wi-Fi options like Wi-Fi 4, Wi-Fi 5, and Wi-Fi 6 are generally designed for smaller coverage areas and higher bandwidth needs, making them less suitable for this scenario.
