Ethernet cabling should be of the shielded type and bonded at one end to earth. If they are putting up a 900 MHz access point, will it be sectorized? If yes, how many sectors (how many transmitters)? What frequencies and bandwidths on 900 (20 MHz) (10 MHz) (5 MHz) ? How is the input bandwidth being delivered? Fiber, DSL, wireless link on another band (2.4 GHz) (5.3 GHz) (5.8 GHz)? What kind of antenna system... 3 - 120 degree sectors, 1 - omni? What kind of equipment (Alveron) (Motorola) (home-made) (don't laugh, I build my own) Answering the above will give me an idea of what you can expect. Kevin Custer
