A company plans to extend its Wi-Fi coverage to ensure seamless connectivity across its large, multi-floor office building without installing additional cabling. They are considering using a mesh network. Which of the following benefits is a primary reason for choosing a mesh network in this scenario?
It allows extensive coverage with minimal physical infrastructure.
It ensures fiber optic or ethernet cabling is redundant and fail-safe.
It significantly increases the amount of broadcast traffic.
It inherently provides better bandwidth utilization.
A mesh network efficiently extends Wi-Fi coverage across multiple areas without needing physical cables connecting each access point. This benefit is crucial in environments like large office buildings where cabling can be intrusive, expensive, or physically impractical to install in certain areas. Better bandwidth utilization and increased broadcast traffic are not inherent benefits of mesh networks; in fact, mesh networks can introduce challenges in these areas unless carefully managed.
