The statement contains several inaccuracies. Fat APs (Autonomous Access Points) are standalone devices that do not require a Wireless Access Controller (AC) to function. They are fully capable of managing their own configurations and operations independently.In contrast,Fit APs(Lightweight Access Points) rely on a centralized AC for management and configuration. While Fit APs offer centralized control and scalability, they require the deployment of an AC, which can increase costs. Fat APs are simpler to deploy in small-scale networks but may lack the advanced features and scalability of Fit APs.
The claim that Fat APs "need to work with an AC" is incorrect, making the entire statement false.
