Abstract
Wireless LANs most commonly use the Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) frequency band, of 2.45 GHz. Although there have been a variety of proprietary solutions, the IEEE approved a standard, 802.11, that organizes this technology. Planning the network, which fulfills the requirements of the user in such systems, is a major issue. In this chapter we will discuss some critical issues faced during wireless LAN deployments from a practical point of view.
