Select 2As part of a wireless site survey in a hospital, an engineer needs to identify potential Layer 1 interferers. In which two areas is the engineer most likely to find sources of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz RF noise? (Choose two.)
Show answer
Answer: BE
Explanation
This answer is right, even though I wasn't sure at first. MRI scans emit at a frequency of 1MHz-300MHz, which is below the frequency of Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz). Gamma rays (Exahertz) and X-rays (Petahertz) are happening at frequencies much higher than RF as well. Kitchens can be source of 2.4GHz interference with microwave ovens. I have no clue what can cause RF noise in patient rooms, but by elimination, it works.
