   A city deploys IoT-enabled streetlights that use a mesh network. During deployment, the team finds that some lights at the edge of the network cannot connect to the gateway. They need to extend coverage without adding more gateways. What should they do?

   • AMove the gateway to a higher location to improve line-of-sight.
   • BIncrease the transmit power of the edge lights to reach the gateway directly.
   • CAdd additional mesh nodes between the edge lights and the gateway to relay data.
   • DReplace the mesh network with a cellular network for all lights.

   A city deploys 500 smart parking sensors across multiple districts. Each sensor must be associated with the correct parking spot location before it can report data. The deployment team needs to automate this association to avoid manual errors. Which provisioning approach should they use?

   • APre-provision each sensor with a static IP address and register it in the central database during manufacturing.
   • BManually configure each sensor on-site using a laptop and a USB cable, then record the spot ID in a spreadsheet.
   • CUse a zero-touch provisioning service that authenticates the device and applies a configuration profile based on its serial number or certificate.
   • DAssign each sensor a random device ID and let the backend infer its location from GPS data after installation.

   A manufacturing plant has IoT sensors that monitor machine vibration. The sensors generate alerts when vibration exceeds a threshold. The maintenance team is receiving too many false alarms, causing alert fatigue. They need to reduce false positives without missing real failures. What should they do?

   • AReduce the data collection frequency to minimize the number of alerts.
   • BSend alerts to a different team to distribute the workload.
   • CDisable alerts for all sensors and rely on periodic manual inspections.
   • DAdjust the alert threshold to a higher value and implement a confirmation window that requires multiple consecutive readings above the threshold.

   A logistics company is deploying 1,000 GPS trackers on delivery vehicles. The trackers must be registered in the fleet management system with the correct vehicle ID before they can transmit location data. The deployment team wants to minimize on-site configuration time. Which approach best meets this requirement?

   • AUse a bulk provisioning tool that reads each tracker's serial number and maps it to a vehicle ID in the backend system.
   • BConfigure all trackers with the same device ID and rely on the backend to differentiate them by IP address.
   • CHave each driver manually enter the tracker ID into the fleet system using a mobile app.
   • DDeploy the trackers first and then use GPS location to guess which vehicle they belong to.

   A warehouse deploys IoT sensors to track inventory levels on shelves. The sensors use Wi-Fi to connect to the existing network. The IT team needs to ensure that the sensors can only communicate with the inventory management server. What should they configure?

   • APlace the sensors on the guest Wi-Fi network to isolate them.
   • BAssign the sensors static IP addresses and document them in a spreadsheet.
   • CDisable the firewall on the inventory server to allow all connections.
   • DConfigure network access control (NAC) to restrict the sensors to communicate only with the inventory server.
