A wireless engineer is deploying wireless network devices and client devices that support both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz transmitters. Which concern should the wireless engineer consider in the deployment of this technology?
- The 5 GHz band will suffer from a greater free space path loss than the 2.4 GHz band.
- The 2.4 GHz band will require additional EIRP to match the range of the 5 GHz band.
- The 2.4 GHz band will suffer from a greater free space path loss than the 5 GHz band.
- The 5 GHz band will suffer from free space path loss only while transmitting a signal roughly 3 meters or further from an antenna.
Explanation: Free space path loss can be measured even at 1 meter away from an antenna and is greater in the 5 GHz band than in the 2.4 GHz band.
