• X-ray rooms in hospitals protected by lead walls and computer rooms in banking buildings
protected against unwanted interference do not allow radio signals to enter.
• Exhibition halls or production halls may give reflections due to huge metal structures. This causes
interference which reduces the capacity and coverage range per base station.
3.4 Departmental differences
• At sales, purchase, technical support departments, canteens etc., more traffic is generated usually
than, for instance, at finance & administration, or research & development. Consequentially, a
higher traffic capacity is needed in these areas requiring additional base stations to be installed.

3.5 Architecture
• Central areas giving access to stairs and elevators may require extra base stations due to heavier
constructions.
• Coverage in elevators may require base stations closer to or in the elevator shaft.
• Corners and irregularities in the construction (partial renovation, extensions of older buildings
etc.) have influence.
• Concentration of air-conditioning ducts, etc may influence the coverage.
