Expanding Wireless Services: Enhancing Location Tracking for Voice Over Wireless

Site Survey Engineer's Recommendations

Question

You want to expand the services of your wireless network and add location tracking on top of voice over wireless.

Although the existing wireless network offers excellent voice over wireless services, tracking accuracy is not working well enough.

You decide to contract a site survey engineer.

If you want to expand the services of your wireless network and add location tracking on top of voice over wireless, but your current wireless network is not providing accurate tracking, you should hire a site survey engineer to identify the cause of the issue and provide recommendations for improvement.

Out of the given options, the engineer is most likely to recommend adding more access points (APs) to improve the location tracking accuracy. This is because adding more APs can provide better coverage and triangulation, allowing the location tracking system to more accurately determine the location of a wireless device.

Option A, disabling 2.4 GHz and higher data rates, is not a recommended solution for improving location tracking accuracy. While it is true that 2.4 GHz can interfere with location tracking, disabling it would not necessarily improve accuracy.

Option B, adding wireless APs that are not from Cisco, is also not recommended. While other vendors may offer APs with different features and capabilities, it is generally best to stick with a single vendor for all APs to ensure interoperability and ease of management.

Option D, choosing between voice over wireless and location tracking, is not a realistic or necessary choice. It is possible to use both services simultaneously and with good performance if the wireless network is designed and implemented correctly.

Option E, installing chokepoints, can also help improve location accuracy. Chokepoints are access points with a directional antenna that are placed in strategic locations to create a barrier or choke point for wireless devices. By forcing devices to connect to the nearest chokepoint, the location tracking system can more accurately determine the device's location. However, this solution may be more costly and complex than simply adding more APs.

Overall, the most likely recommendation from a site survey engineer to improve location tracking accuracy would be to add more access points to the network. This would provide better coverage and triangulation, allowing the location tracking system to more accurately determine the location of wireless devices.
