An engineer must perform a predictive design for a wireless network for location readiness and to mitigate interference. Which power level does the engineer use?
The correct answer is:
A. 10 mW
For location readiness and interference mitigation, the recommended power level is typically 10 mW because:
It provides a more consistent and accurate representation of client device power levels, which are usually lower than AP maximum output.
Using 10 mW reduces the risk of excessive cell overlap and co-channel interference, leading to better location accuracy.
It ensures a balanced coverage area, essential for accurate location tracking and minimal interference.
When you check the signal coverage, verify that the AP radio transmit power does not use a transmit power greater than what the client devices can support.
For example, by default, the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G uses the highest available transmit power by default (17 dBm / 50 mW for 2.4 GHz and 16 dBm / 40 mW for 5 GHz).

As you perform a survey, try to keep the AP power reduced to half that of the maximum transmit power you expect to find in any client. This will provide a margin or buffer that you can leverage if you need to adjust any AP transmit power levels, while staying within the capabilities of most client devices.
the recommendation is to keep the AP power reduced to half of the maximum transmit power expected for client devices. This approach helps in providing flexibility for power adjustments and avoids interference, while ensuring compatibility with most client devices.
Assuming typical client device transmit powers (such as 20–30 mW), a power level around 10 mW (option A) would be appropriate, as it represents half of a typical client’s maximum transmit power and provides a suitable margin to manage interference and maintain location accuracy.
Correct answer: A. 10 mW
