A university is implementing a new campus wireless network. A network administrator needs to configure the network to support a large number of devices and high-bandwidth demands from students.
Which of the following wireless technologies should the administrator consider for this scenario?
Correct Answer: B
Wi-Fi 6E is the best choice for high-density environments, such as a university campus. It:
Supports more devices with OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access) Uses the 6GHz band, reducing congestion Provides faster speeds and lower latency This makes Wi-Fi 6E ideal for large networks with high-bandwidth demands, like those in a university setting.
Breakdown of Options:
A). Bluetooth - Used for short-range, low-power connections, not large-scale wireless networks.
B). Wi-Fi 6E - # Correct answer. Designed for high-density environments, improving speed and efficiency.
C). 5G - Used for mobile networks, but not ideal for campus-wide local wireless infrastructure.
D). LTE - Used for cellular data, not for campus-wide Wi-Fi.
