In a warehouse, location accuracy degrades near metal shelving. Which RF phenomenon is most likely causing this degradation?

Signal refraction through metal

Signal diffraction around metal edges

Signal reflection off metal surfaces

A location report shows a distance error of 15 meters for a client. What does this metric indicate?

The client's signal strength is 15 dBm below the reference value

The location engine took 15 seconds to compute the estimate

The client is 15 meters away from the nearest access point

The estimated location is 15 meters away from the client's actual position

A retail store's location heatmap shows a consistent offset of about 5 meters to the east in one zone. The APs are mounted on the ceiling with omni-directional antennas. A site survey confirmed that the RF environment is clean. What is the most likely cause of the offset?

The client tag is transmitting at a higher data rate than the APs can receive, causing packet loss.

The location engine is averaging too few samples, causing random jitter rather than a fixed offset.

The calibration data for that zone is outdated or was collected with a different AP configuration.

The APs in that zone are using too low a transmit power, causing the location engine to rely on distant APs.

An engineer notices that location accuracy is poor in one area. The APs are mounted on the ceiling, but their antennas are oriented vertically. What should the engineer check first regarding antenna orientation?

Whether the antenna is connected to the correct radio port

Whether the antenna is rated for outdoor use

Whether the antenna is using the latest firmware

Whether the antenna radiation pattern matches the intended coverage area
