Wireless network design is the process of generating a pattern of centers and links within an environment to ensure network availability and desired flow capacity. The design of these networks is very different from a network design with cable connection, using some of the most advanced design kits and RF technologies processes in industry. Designs for wireless networks are based primarily on projected subscriber density, desired coverage area, and traffic demand. Wireless design is one of the most difficult areas of electrical engineering and the shortage of people who can address the issues that are expected to worsen in the next two decades.

Wireless communication networks are essential to provide communications for mobile users, and as communications radio are useful to provide good coverage over large areas, the data transfer rates attainable with it is limited compared with transfer rates achievable data with fixed networks. Wireless is inherently a shared medium, and the closure of the Ethernet connections between locations is particularly attractive due to savings costs. These networks can be used to connect adjacent buildings together or create a link between the towns of up to 10 miles away. Wireless LAN (WLAN), can also extend the reach of the cable network, providing connectivity previously unavailable to the network. WLAN environments are especially ideal for application in buildings offices, manufacturing plants, health centers or schools, and can be adapted to both indoor and outdoor. In cases where wiring is not an option, implementations WLAN may also be used in buildings such as historic structures, open space land, or buildings with sealed rooms.

Systems WLAN can usually be installed in one day, and will integrate seamlessly into existing networks. These networks can be virtual offices anywhere in the world and can also create remote classrooms, remote training services, and remote hospitals. This technology also allows developing countries to strengthen their communication networks quickly and cheaply, without going through the high cost and delays associated with building infrastructure cabling.

Designing a wireless communications system depends on the use of a complex set of engineering analysis requires expertise in radio frequency communications and networking, and a deep knowledge of application requirements. Designing a wireless network is important to ensure settings are configured correctly for wireless traffic efficiently through the wired network. The design and integration is very important for maintaining overall network reliability.

Traditional network design is based on the use of a single Home Location Register (HLR) for each wireless network, but the considerations are driving growth that consideration of multiple HLR topologies. A major challenge is the efficient mobility management, which can be addressed both globally and locally. The best way correctly apply design wi-fi to fully understand their balance, coverage and capacity. As time passes, the more and more wireless designs People are beginning to enter the market due to growing consumer demand for cable-free life.
