But as with any radio or mobile phone coverage network various factors can affect signal quality and availability including:
- Mobility - being stationary is usually better than being in transit.
- Base station 'confusion'. For best performance, one base station should be dominant. In some tall buildings, the service can be degraded because too many base stations are available, even though the received signal strength is good.
- Distance from the serving base station. At the edges of Wireless Broadband coverage, data rates less than 256Kbps may be possible.
- Different applications and operating systems.
- The number of users sharing a base station.
