We begin the WAN discussion with a review of wireless RF signals and the contributing factors that impact signal quality, limitations, interference, models, bandwidth, and range. There are many WAN communication protocols to choose from in different bands, and the architect must understand the pros and cons of choosing one radio spectrum over the other.
