C.

The correct answer to this question is D: "If a conflict occurs between the AP placement for voice design and for context-aware location design, then the voice design should take precedence, to protect against delays and dropping of sensitive voice traffic."

When designing a WLAN network to support both voice and context-aware services, several design principles should be followed:

  1. Prioritize Voice Design: Voice traffic is very sensitive to delays and jitter, so it is important to prioritize voice design when there is a conflict between voice and location design.

  2. Use a Balanced Approach: While voice design is critical, it is also important to consider the needs of context-aware services, such as location-based tracking or presence detection.

  3. Optimize for Coverage: In order to support both voice and context-aware services, it is important to ensure adequate wireless coverage with proper cell overlap and channel separation.

  4. Capacity Planning: It is also important to ensure adequate capacity planning to support the number of devices and applications on the network.

Option A is incorrect because it suggests deploying APs in specific locations without considering the needs of both voice and location services.

Option B is incorrect because disabling APs can cause coverage gaps and affect the performance of both voice and location services.

Option C is incorrect because deploying some APs in monitor mode can affect coverage and capacity planning.

Option E is incorrect because deploying more APs does not necessarily mean better coverage or capacity, and it does not consider the needs of location services.

Option F is incorrect because it suggests prioritizing voice design without considering the needs of location services.
