The frequency of the radio wave is one of the most important factors that determines the antenna performance and compatibility. The antenna must be designed to operate at the same frequency band as the radio, otherwise the impedance mismatch will cause signal loss and reflection. The frequency also affects the size, shape, and radiation pattern of the antenna. For example, a lower frequency requires a larger antenna to achievethe same gain and directivity as a higher frequency antenna. The frequency also determines the available bandwidth and channel spacing for the wireless communication12. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that the antenna is designed for the frequency used by the radio. References:

An active site survey is a method of measuring and validating the wireless coverage, capacity, and performance of a network in a specific environment. It involves deploying temporary APs in the proposed locations, collecting data using a survey tool, and analyzing the results to optimize the network design. A heat map is a graphical representation of the wireless signal strength, interference, noise, or other metrics in different areas of the site. A heat map with proposed AP locations and actual tested coverage is a deliverable that shows the customer the expected performance of the new 802.11ac-based solution, and allows the architect to fine-tune the AP placement, channel selection, transmit power, and antenna orientation. This deliverable also helps the customer to verify that the network meets their requirements for coverage, capacity, and quality of service. References:

The customer wants to use certificates to authenticate user devices, which means that they need a strong and secure method of verifying the identity of the devices that connect to the employee WLAN. The best option for this is to use EAP-TLS instead of PEAP-MSCHAPv2. EAP-TLS stands for Extensible Authentication Protocol-Transport Layer Security, and it is a protocol that uses certificates on both the client and the server side to establish a mutual authentication and a secure channel for data exchange. EAP-TLS is considered the most secure EAP method, as it prevents common attacks such as dictionary attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks, and replay attacks.

The other options are not suitable for the customer requirements:

• Option B is incorrect because TKIP encryption is weaker than AES encryption. TKIP stands for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, and it is an older encryption method that was designed to replace WEP, which had serious security flaws. However, TKIP also has some vulnerabilities, and it is not recommended for modern WLANs. AES stands for Advanced Encryption Standard, and it is a newer and stronger encryption method that provides better security and performance for WLANs.
• Option C is incorrect because WPA2-PSK is less secure than WPA2-Enterprise. WPA2-PSK stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2-Pre-Shared Key, and it is a security mode that uses a common passphrase or key to authenticate all devices that connect to the WLAN. However, this passphrase or key can be easily compromised or shared, and it does not provide individual authentication or encryption for each device. WPA2-Enterprise stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2-Enterprise, and it is a security mode that uses a RADIUS server to authenticate each device individually and dynamically generate encryption keys for each session. WPA2-Enterprise provides better security and scalability for WLANs.
• Option D is incorrect because TTLS does not use certificates to authenticate user devices. TTLS stands for Tunneled Transport Layer Security, and it is a protocol that uses certificates only on the server side to establish a secure tunnel for data exchange. The client side can use different methods to authenticate, such as passwords, tokens, or certificates. However, TTLS does not require certificates on the client side, and it is less secure than EAP-TLS.
