HPE Aruba Certified Campus Access Professional (ACAP) — Question 13

An indoor sports stadium has 5,000 seats in two rings:
✑ The stadium has a ceiling height of 72 feet (22 m).
✑ There is a catwalk around the perimeter of the stadium that is 54 feet (13 m) from the floor.
✑ There are two scoreboards at either and of the stadium.
✑ The construction of the stadium is concrete and steel.
The customer has indicated a preference for overhead coverage, and the wireless network should support 3500 concurrent clients. The architect plans to install the APs on the catwalk to service sections of the floor below.
Which type of antennas are recommended for the APs that provide the overhead coverage?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

High gain directional antennas are designed to focus the signal in a specific direction, making them ideal for providing overhead coverage in a large space like a stadium. Other options, such as high gain omnidirectional antennas, would not provide the same level of targeted coverage needed for the specified area. Downtilt antennas are used for adjusting the angle of coverage but do not specifically address the need for overhead coverage, while Yagi antennas are highly directional and not suitable for a broad coverage area required in this scenario.
