Has been a while since this topic was discussed... We are seeing a growing number of research initiatives in various wireless-oriented niches. Wireless sensors, new protocols, new hardware- is a lot being worked on and it often directly impacts (or is impacted by) the production campus WLAN. At the same time, we have building renovations/space reallocations and even new buildings going up that may present an opportunity to come up with some shielded areas to separate testing versus production WLAN use (often right next door to each other). Has anyone actually worked with space owners or Design/Construction folks to carve out multi-room RF-shielded areas? Any cost estimates on either true Faraday cage or RF-painted/mesh-protected rooms? For those who haven't seen this sort of stuff, here are a few interesting links: http://www.lessemf.com/paint.html http://www.emsectechnologies.com/press_releases/press1.php http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&; articleId=9002661 Lee H.
