A wireless engineer is getting ready to perform a predictive site survey. The new network needs to support data and voice over wireless. Which two Cisco recommendations should be considered for the design? (Choose two.)
A.
Set -19 dBm of separation between APs on the same channel.
B.
Use the 5 GHz radio band due to 40 MHz bandwidth capability.
C.
Use the 5 GHz radio band due to the 24 non-overlapping channels.
I think C & D is correct, 15 % is for High density deployment. Chapter 5 "Applying Wireless Design Requirements" page 355 in CCNP Enterprise Wireless Design ENWLSD 300-425 and Implementation ENWLSI 300-430 Official Cert Guide 2nd Edition
D & E is correct.
A is incorrect coz this is not in best practice and the same channel is not recommended.
B is incorrect coz using 40 MHz will limit the # of channels available.
C is also incorrect since 24 non-overlapping channels on 5 GHz will require using UNII-2 and UNII-2e channels w/c require absence of radar.
(see pp 3-6)
https://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Mobility/emob30dg/Voice.pdf
Best practice for voice is -67 dBm cell edge, 25 dB SNR, 15-20% overlap, etc.

the available 24 channels make this answer invalid, because of the DFS requirements
While 15% of overlap is a recommendation from Cisco
No reommendation for 40 MHz
Correct answer D + E
Chapter 5 "Applying Wireless Design Requirements"
Designing a Wireless Network for Voice and Video
"As you plan the band and channel assignment for each AP, try to leverage the 5GHz band
as much as possible. There are more non-overlapping channels there and much less chance
of interference from non-Wi-Fi devices than in 2.4GHz. A common practice is to use the
U-NII-1 and U-NII-3 channels, while avoiding U-NII-2 and U-NII-2 Extended channels
because of DFS requirements."
Is is D and E
40Mhz is useless for voice and it is limiting the number of channels available.
There is 25 channels available in 5Ghz but UNII-2 is under DFS regulation so unusable for voice deployment.
To reduce channel utilization in the 2.4 GHz band, Cisco recommends moving clients to 5 GHz.

-67 dBm cell boundary is a requirement for Voice.
Channel-bonding is a site-dependent capability and should at least be considered.
-------
- 19 dBm is incorrect. dBm is a compared value. As it is the separation between 2 AP's, it should have been stated as 19 dBm. And in most deployments this is not achievable.
The number of non-overlapping channels is regulatory domain dependent.
The cell overlap should be 20% instead of 15%
Cisco will not provide answers that involve regulatory domain, so it is not option C.
B is not an option because using 20MHz is enough for any voice deployment.
Option D and E are correct because both are specified in the Cisco PDF here:
https://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Mobility/emob30dg/Voice.pdf
I think B&D should be correct
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/8-5/Enterprise-Mobility-8-5-Design-Guide/Enterprise_Mobility_8-5_Deployment_Guide/Chapter-9.html#36873
"It is not likely that this 19 dBm of separation can be achieved in most deployments. The most important RF design criteria are the -67 dBm cell radius and the 20 percent recommended overlap between cells. Designing to these constraints optimizes channel separation."
"The data rate is 150 Mbps for an 802.11n client on the 5 GHz band with a 40 MHz wide channel and with a one spatial stream client. A laptop running a softphone application such as Jabber can support three spatial streams and have a date rate to 450 Mbps on a 5 GHz, 40 MHz wide channel. Both an 802.11ac client and an 802.11n client that is only 20 MHz wide and supporting one spatial stream can share Wi-Fi channel access on a 40 MHz wide channel with an 802.11ac three spatial stream client on a 80 MHz wide channel."
