Wireless Andrew II Technical Issues
Coverage oriented access point layout• Complete coverage with minimal overlap• Changing environment• Interference sources
Capacity oriented access point layout• Enough capacity for expected usage• Consideration of high- and low-density areas• Use of threshold setting and frequency reuse

Issues for research Likely, customers will need to use one or more wireless networks• Several now, more future• Shakeout unlikely• Inherent tradeoffs in speed, distance, and
coverage- Wireless LANs- CDPD- RAM and ARDIS- Analog Cellular- LEOS
