You've just completed a survey of the wireless signals traversing the airspace in your employer's vicinity, and you've found an unauthorized AP with a very strong signal near the middle of the 100-acre campus. What kind of threat do you need to report to your boss?

Rogue AP

Signals traveling through areas in which many wireless communications systems are in use will exhibit a lower _______________ due to the higher proportion of noise.

Signal-to-noise ratio

Diffraction has what affect on a wireless signal's propagation?

The signal is split into secondary waves that continue in the direction in which they split.
