Rick:   Is this on all channels?  Perhaps you can move to another channel on these noisier areas?   Frank From: Rick Brown [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2006 12:34 PM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Questions about wireless design in hospital environments Hello everyone! I'm in the process of designing wireless coverage for our College of Veterinary Medicine.  We're designing for VoWLAN using Cisco's recommendation of -67dbm cells(-77 with a 10db buffer) with a 25dbm SNR or better.  However I've noticed that certain areas of the hospital generate a tremendous amount of noise.  I've seen the noise level peak at -72dbm.  Eliminating 2.4GHz phones is not a problem.  However, eliminating medical equipment generating noise isn't an option. I was hoping that someone on this listserv may have experience in a hospital environment and could offer some tips on how they handled problem areas. Thanks to everyone in advance!
