Which of the following is the BEST way to proceed?

As part of a new wireless implementation, the Chief Information Officer’s (CIO’s) main objective is to immediately deploy a system that supports the 802.11r standard, which will help wireless VoIP devices in moving vehicles. However, the 802.11r standard was not ratified by the IETF. The wireless vendor’s products do support the pre-ratification version of 802.11r. The security and network administrators have tested the product and do not see any security or compatibility issues; however, they are concerned that the standard is not yet final.

Which of the following is the BEST way to proceed?
A . Purchase the equipment now, but do not use 802.11r until the standard is ratified.
B . Do not purchase the equipment now as the client devices do not yet support 802.11r.
C . Purchase the equipment now, as long as it will be firmware upgradeable to the final 802.11r standard.
D . Do not purchase the equipment now; delay the implementation until the IETF has ratified the final 802.11r standard.
