The specifications for the AP models are in the format of Tx:Rx:SU-MIMO:MU-MIMO:MU-MIMO clients, where Tx is the number of transmit antennas, Rx is the number of receive antennas, SU-MIMO is the number of spatial streams supported in single-user MIMO mode, MU-MIMO is the number of spatial streams supported in multi-user MIMO mode, and MU-MIMO clients is the number of MU-MIMO clients that can be served simultaneously.

The customer requirements are:

• Support for MU-MIMO: This means the AP must have a MU-MIMO value greater than 1, as MU-MIMO is a technique that allows multiple spatial streams to be transmitted to different clients at the same time.
• Support for up to four spatial streams, both when MU-MIMO is used and when it is not used: This means the AP must have a SU-MIMO value and a MU-MIMO value of 4, as spatial streams are independent data streams that can be transmitted or received by an antenna.
• Support for transmissions to up to three MU-MIMO clients at the same time: This means the AP must have a MU-MIMO clients value of 3, as this indicates the maximum number of clients that can receive MU-MIMO transmissions from the AP at the same time.

Based on these criteria, only the AP 335 meets the customer requirements, as it has a specification of 4x4:4:4:4:3, which means it has 4 transmit and receive antennas, 4 spatial streams in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO modes, and can serve 3 MU-MIMO clients simultaneously. The AP 325 does not meet the customer requirements, as it has a specification of 4x4:4:4:3:3, which means it has only 3 spatial streams in MU-MIMO mode, and can only serve 2 MU-MIMO clients simultaneously.

 A metal firewall is a significant RF obstacle that can be difficult to see visually and might require access to blueprints. A metal firewall is a type of fire-resistant barrier that is made of metal or metal-clad materials and is used to separate different sections of a building or a network. A metal firewall can block or attenuate RF signals that pass through it, causing coverage gaps, signal degradation, or interference in the wireless deployment. A metal firewall can also reflect RF signals, creating multipath fading or distortion in the wireless environment. Therefore, an architect needs to identify the location and thickness of any metal firewalls in the building and account for their impact on the RF design. A metal firewall may require additional access points, antennas, or cabling to provide adequate coverage and performance across the wireless deployment. A metal firewall may also affect the channel planning, transmit power settings, and antenna orientation of the access points and radios. A metal firewall can be difficult to see visually, as it may be hidden behind walls, ceilings, or floors, or blended with other materials.Therefore, an architect might need access to blueprints or other sources of information to locate and measure any metal firewalls in the building. References:

the new 802.11ac deployment should have a capacity-based design for the best performance, but the existing deployment sounds like a coverage-based design. This is because a capacity-based design takes into account the number and type of clients, the applications they use, and the bandwidth they require. A coverage-based design only considers the signal strength and the absence of coverage holes. A site survey is desirable to determine the optimal locations for the new APs because it can help the architect to assess the current and future capacity needs, identify the sources of interference and noise, and optimize the channel and power settings for the new APs.

Option A is incorrect because an 802.11ac deployment does not necessarily work better with side-mounted APs. The mounting location of the APs depends on the antenna type, the ceiling height, and the RF environment.

Option C is incorrect because 802.11ac AP radios are not more sensitive to 2.4 GHz interference than 802.11n APs. In fact, 802.11ac APs operate in the 5 GHz band, which is less crowded and prone to interference than the 2.4 GHz band.

Option D is incorrect because 802.11ac APs cannot support a higher density of clients by being deployed farther apart. On the contrary, 802.11ac APs need to be deployed closer together to provide the higher data rates and throughput that 802.11ac clients expect.
