Why is 802.11a connectivity reduced in an X-ray room?

  • A. X-rays create significant non-Wi-Fi interference on the 802.11a band.
  • B. X-rays impact the 802.11a UNII-2 channels that cause access points to dynamically change channels.
  • C. X-rays within these rooms cause multipath issues.
  • D. X-ray rooms exhibit increased signal attenuation.

D its correct. According the book (...) d X-ray areas, where the walls might be lead-lined and completely stop RF signals.(...) Its not A because says:(...) These devices may also use the same spectrum as Wi-Fi but with other protocols and, therefore, become sources of interference for your system(...) It does not mention non-Wifi interference, it says the same Wifi spectrum.

D is Correct. X-ray does not interfere with 5 GHz. The wall of the X-ray does.

It's because inside those rooms you're standing basically in a microwave own, which again has the potential to cause cancer, so the room must contain radio waves which means attenuation. Just picture putting your level 1 scanner inside a microwave own and consider what signal you get in there. Hopefully none if its not defect otherwise one should replace it.

X-Ray operates in the range of 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz (30×1015 Hz to 30×1018 Hz) and does not interfere with 5.0 GHz

It is the shielding used in those rooms to stop X-rays that also blocks the RF signal

D - Why is 802.11a connectivity "reduced" in an X-ray room? -- I'm going with "reduced" == "attenuation".

A From the Book - portable X-ray machines, sending high-resolution images, sometimes in real time, echography machines, and electrocardiography [ECG] machines). These devices may also use the same spectrum as Wi-Fi but with other protocols and, therefore, become sources of interference for your system.

I have read this as well, but answer A states: " X-rays create significant non-Wi-Fi interference on the 802.11a band." The X-Rays it selves are not in the 5 GHz spectrum.

22 years in IT in a hospital here, portable x-ray machines aren't used in 'x-ray rooms'. They're taken to the patient because for one reason or another, the patient can't come to the lead lined room mentioned in the question. So portable X-ray machines is a moot point. The answer is D, and it's why we have wifi points inside our x-ray rooms.
