BSE 111 - Capstone: Stand Up the Communications Architecture (Scored)

Capstone N1 – the council wants a purchase list on day one. What is the correct first deliverable?

The demand map under the declared scope, with the local-data-required entries assigned for assessment

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

The vendor’s recommended equipment package

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

A frequency list copied from the county

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

A resolution declaring readiness achieved

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Capstone N2 – the amateur club is strong; a member proposes ham-only. What do you select instead?

The single cheapest layer this fiscal year

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

The five-layer architecture across both tiers, with Layer 5 as every tier’s fallback

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Amateur radio only, given the club’s depth

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

The municipal cellular array only, since phones are universal

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Capstone N3 – what constitutes the tactical build-out?

High Frequency stations at every gate post

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Smartphones on the commercial network

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Pre-programmed FRS/GMRS quantities and a GMRS base per consolidation point on the four-channel plan, plus Citizens Band for frequency diversity, distributed before the event

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

One shared handheld per consolidation point

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Capstone N4 – what completes the strategic build-out?

One HF radio stored for deployment if needed

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

A county promise to relay regional traffic

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Skipping the repeater since HF reaches farther

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

The repeater, solar-powered High Frequency, the licensing pipeline sized to the demand map, ARES/RACES on a scheduled net, an inter-community net with two-plus neighbors, and tested military linkage

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Capstone N5 – how is the municipal cellular array correctly designed?

Hardened solar sites, satellite backhaul, pre-event eSIM enrollment so failover is a profile switch, degraded-mode priorities, and the radio layers kept as the universal floor

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Post-event enrollment instructions, announced when needed

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Retiring the radio layers the array replaces

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Assuming full population coverage at campaign launch

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Capstone N6 – what closes the public-reach gap for residents no electronic layer covers?

Waiting for the United States Postal Service to resume

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Reversion to a mail system: points at consolidation and Tier 2 anchors, courier routes on the convoy corridors, and a printed notice workflow with a published cadence

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Assuming radio reach grows to cover everyone

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

A single notice posted at city hall

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Capstone N7 – the spectrum filing, carrier agreement, satellite contract, and a pre-event mail exercise await. What precedes any signature, deployment, or exercise?

Running the mail exercise quietly and routing only what draws questions

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Approval by the radio club as technical authority

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Routing the entire stack to the entity’s own counsel and governing authority – operating authority, contract obligations, and the postal-law envelope are regulated questions, and the entity-side authorities vary by jurisdiction

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Signing today under an assumed emergency exemption

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Capstone N8 – what converts the built architecture into claimable capability?

The council’s announcement, since equipment is installed

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

A photograph of the equipment room

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Waiving the 48-hour exercise as disruptive

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Validation: scheduled nets, the band-shift drill, the 48-hour non-electronic exercise, and a PACE plan finalized from live results – with claims limited to what was proven

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

State the sequencing rule the capstone walk enforced.

Demand before hardware, architecture before build-out, enrollment and routing before activation, validation before representation – each step’s output is the next step’s input

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Hardware first, since lead times dominate everything

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Validation first, to know what to buy

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

All steps in parallel, to finish faster

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

State the design identity that governed every capstone decision.

An unregulated network exempt from routing because it is an emergency plan

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

A parallel architecture, not restored commercial telecom – layered for graceful degradation onto a non-electronic floor, owned by the community, and credited only as validated

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

A single best system, bought once and stored securely

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

A restoration contract with the commercial carriers

Correct Incorrect Correct answer
