Option A, Saw this asked similarly on a practice test-the micro cells help manage high densities and roaming. Nice straightforward question.
D , honestly Cisco's recommendations get confusing sometimes with all the cell sizing. I figured macro cells at max power would give broader coverage and help with roaming since fewer APs to switch between, and you'd still get data over wireless. Maybe I'm missing something about client density though 🤷🏻♂️
A , micro cells at lower power let you handle a ton of clients in a small area and make roaming smoother since devices have more APs to associate with as they move. Big macro cells would get overloaded and cause interference, especially for multimedia apps. Pretty sure that's the standard approach for dense environments like campuses or stadiums. Disagree?
Probably A. Micro cells with reduced power help manage lots of clients and minimize co-channel interference, which is key for supporting roaming and multimedia apps in dense environments. Macro cells risk overloading APs and create dead spots for high density. I think some might pick D due to coverage, but in practice, that's not ideal for client-heavy WiFi. Thoughts?
B , I'd check the official Cert Guide and practice exam for this. Macro cells with reduced power seem like they'd handle overlapping coverage and roaming pretty well in dense environments.
A tbh, micro cells handle more clients and roaming in dense areas way better.
