Summary

The access points must be placed in strategic locations, allowing the network signal to reach only the authorized facilities.

Description

When access points are properly placed help to minimize signal leakage beyond the intended coverage area. This reduces the risk of unauthorized users attempting to connect to the network from outside the properly designated facilities, enhancing overall network security.
