The performance of wireless communications within buildings is limited by highly complex interactions between several factors, some of which are only poorly understood. As the use of wireless systems increases these issues will become more and more important. The Wireless Friendly Building Forum is an interdisciplinary team that has come together to answer some fundamental questions.
