After designing a WLAN infrastructure using predictive design software, what is the best way to validate the predictive design in the physical space before deployment, assuming time and budget allow for it?
A.
Deploy all of the APs as they're shown in the predictive design and perform an active site survey
B.
Deploy all of the APs as they're shown in the predictive design and perform a passive site survey
C.
Use a client device positioned where the APs will be installed and measure the signal from the client device
D.
Perform an AP-on-a-Stick survey using AP locations based upon the predictive design to confirm each AP's placement
An AP-on-a-Stick (APoS) survey is a method used to validate predictive WLAN designs by temporarily placing an access point at the planned installation location and measuring its performance in the actual environment. This approach helps in confirming the accuracy of the predictive model and ensures that the AP placement will meet the desired coverage and performance requirements.
