Reveal answer details
Close answer details
Correct answerD
ExplanationLegacy devices may support only an older wireless technology, creating a compatibility requirement that the network must continue to satisfy. Retaining that technology allows those devices to remain connected until they can be replaced. Faster communication is generally a reason to adopt newer technology, while antenna type does not establish a legacy protocol requirement.

ExplanationSafety and building codes establish installation practices that protect the life and health of installers while work is being performed and protect end users after deployment. Following them addresses hazards associated with mounting, power, placement, and the completed installation. Preventing equipment damage can be a benefit, but human safety is the broader and decisive purpose.
What statement best describes the difference between authentication and authorization?
-
A
Authentication ensures privacy and authorization ensures availability
-
B
Authentication is not used in wireless solutions and authorization is used in wireless solutions
-
C
Authentication proves identity and authorization determines access to specific resources
-
D
Authentication is used in wireless solutions and authorization is not
Reveal answer details
Close answer details
Correct answerC
ExplanationAuthentication establishes who a user or device is by proving identity. Authorization occurs after that identity is known and determines which specific resources or capabilities it may access. The two controls therefore answer different questions: identity verification comes first, while permission decisions govern what the authenticated identity may do.
How is ASK modulation different from FSK modulation?
-
A
ASK varies the amplitude of the signal while FSK shifts its frequency
-
B
FSK is more sensitive to noise than ASK
-
C
ASK does not work at high frequencies
-
D
ASK can carry more data than FSK
Reveal answer details
Close answer details
Correct answerA
ExplanationASK carries information by varying the carrier's amplitude between defined states. FSK instead carries information by shifting the carrier among defined frequencies. The decisive distinction is therefore which signal property changes during modulation: amplitude for ASK versus frequency for FSK, not an absolute rule about data capacity or usable carrier frequency.
Packet loss appears only while a nearby machine is active. RSSI remains strong, and spectrum observations show added energy near the operating channel. What is the best next controlled test?
-
A
Replace the endpoint antenna to correct low signal strength.
-
B
Reset security settings on every endpoint and repeat onboarding.
-
C
Remove the suspected interferer and repeat the same traffic test.
-
D
Update all device firmware before collecting any additional measurements.
Reveal answer details
Close answer details
Correct answerC
ExplanationThe failure is correlated with the nearby machine, while strong RSSI makes low desired-signal strength a poor fit for the symptoms. Added energy near the operating channel also points to interference. Removing the suspected interferer and repeating the same traffic test changes one relevant condition while holding the workload constant, allowing the team to test whether that machine causes the packet loss.
A system assigns different subsets of orthogonal time-frequency resources to multiple users. Which term describes this multiuser allocation?
-
A
-
B
-
C
-
D
Reveal answer details
Close answer details
Correct answerA
ExplanationOFDMA extends orthogonal frequency-division operation to multiple users by allocating different subsets of time-frequency resources to them. This permits users to be served through distinct orthogonal resource assignments within the system. OFDM describes the multicarrier waveform without, by itself, naming this multiuser allocation, while QAM and PSK describe modulation methods.
You are performing an implementation for a cloud-based wireless solution. How is connectivity to the cloud established? (Choose the single best answer.)
-
A
Through BLE Layer 2 connections that do not use IP
-
B
Through any Layer 3 network connected to the Internet
-
C
Through the use of IPX/SPX routers
-
D
Through cellular Internet connections only
Reveal answer details
Close answer details
Correct answerB
ExplanationCloud connectivity depends on routable IP communication, not on a particular access medium. Any Layer 3 network that provides an Internet path can carry traffic between the wireless solution and its cloud services. BLE-only Layer 2 links, obsolete IPX/SPX routing, and cellular-only access impose restrictions that cloud connectivity does not require.
Before field installation, device settings can be verified in the lab. Support staff will also need records of the exact installed state. Which sequence best meets both needs?
-
A
Install devices, retain the design records, and stage a sample afterward.
-
B
Stage devices, install them, and retain only the original design records.
-
C
Install devices, configure them remotely, and document the factory defaults.
-
D
Stage and verify devices, install them, and update the as-built records.
Reveal answer details
Close answer details
Correct answerD
ExplanationStaging allows each device's settings and operation to be verified under controlled conditions before field installation. After installation, the actual configuration can differ from the design because of implementation decisions or site changes. Updating the as-built records captures that exact installed state, giving support staff reliable information for later operation and troubleshooting.
One candidate solution meets throughput and latency goals, but its mandatory cloud processing violates an organizational policy requiring raw data to remain onsite. How should the policy be treated?
-
A
As a service dependency that can be validated after deployment
-
B
As a non-negotiable constraint that can disqualify the candidate
-
C
As a capacity requirement that can be solved with more channels
-
D
As an optional preference because the design is technically feasible
Reveal answer details
Close answer details
Correct answerB
ExplanationThe onsite raw-data policy establishes a mandatory boundary for the design. Because the candidate requires cloud processing of that raw data, its operating model conflicts with the policy even though its throughput and latency are adequate. A mandatory organizational rule is a non-negotiable constraint, so failure to meet it can disqualify the candidate rather than being deferred or offset by added radio capacity.

Question 11
Single choice
A transmitter supplies 20 dBm to a feed line. Cable and connector loss total 3 dB, and antenna gain relative to an isotropic radiator is 6 dB. Ignoring other losses, what is the EIRP?
-
A
-
B
-
C
-
D
Reveal answer details
Close answer details
Correct answerA
ExplanationEIRP starts with the transmitter output, subtracts losses between the transmitter and antenna, and then adds antenna gain relative to an isotropic radiator. Therefore, the calculation is 20 dBm - 3 dB + 6 dBi = 23 dBm. The feed-line and connector losses reduce delivered power before the antenna gain raises the effective radiated level.
Question 12
Single choice
A product needs rapid deployment, established vendor support, and no specialized device behavior. Which sourcing choice is most consistent with those priorities?
-
A
Build custom hardware because custom devices are automatically more maintainable.
-
B
Build custom hardware because vendor support matters only for application software.
-
C
Delay the choice because lifecycle and time-to-deploy do not affect sourcing.
-
D
Favor an off-the-shelf device after confirming lifecycle fit.
Reveal answer details
Close answer details
Correct answerD
ExplanationAn off-the-shelf device aligns with rapid deployment because it avoids developing specialized hardware, and established vendor support matches the stated operational priority. Since no unique device behavior is required, custom development offers no stated necessity. Lifecycle fit must still be confirmed so the readily available product remains suitable for the expected period of deployment and support.
Question 13

You are planning to outsource the implementation of a new LoRaWAN. Which of the following should be required of the service provider performing the implementation in all cases?
-
A
-
B
-
C
-
D
Reveal answer details
Close answer details
Correct answerC
ExplanationEffective documentation should always be required when outsourcing a LoRaWAN implementation. Documentation provides the organization with accurate information about the deployed architecture, configurations, devices, network settings, security controls, and operational procedures. This supports future maintenance, troubleshooting, knowledge transfer, and changes without creating unnecessary dependence on the original service provider.
Question 14
Single choice
Among these choices, what is the most common reason administrators use scripting during the deployment of a wireless solution?
-
A
To provide time for playing solitaire
-
B
To reduce configuration errors
-
C
To increase the signal strength of the resulting wireless links
-
D
To enhance the capabilities of the resulting solution
Reveal answer details
Close answer details
Correct answerB
ExplanationDeployment scripts apply the same configuration logic repeatedly, reducing manual entry and variation between devices. Consistent automated steps make configuration errors less common, especially when many similar settings must be deployed. Scripting does not directly increase RF signal strength, and adding capabilities is a possible use rather than the most common deployment reason listed.
Question 15
Single choice
For 600 sensors sharing a wireless service, which data set is most useful for validating capacity before selecting a technology?
-
A
Coverage radius, mounting height, antenna type, and floor area
-
B
Maximum PHY rate, channel width, vendor rating, and device count
-
C
Device count, payload size and rate, concurrency, latency, and growth
-
D
Frequency band, enclosure material, battery size, and sensor accuracy
Reveal answer details
Close answer details
Correct answerC
ExplanationCapacity depends on the aggregate workload, not merely a technology's maximum PHY rate. Device count establishes scale; payload size and reporting rate determine offered data; concurrency identifies simultaneous demand; and latency sets the service deadline. Expected growth preserves capacity as the deployment expands. Together these values support a realistic load model for all 600 sensors.
