1. When there are geographical barriers to be encountered e.g. mountains, rivers, and
oceans. Geographical barriers hinder cable installation but they do not affect wireless
communication. Hence wireless communication is suitable for sites where such barriers
are to be found.
2.Area of coverage is large e.g. global coverage. Wireless communication would
be suitable because there are no cabling costs involved as compared to the high cabling
costs that would be incurred with the guided communication.
3. When the sender and receiver are mobile e.g. in mobile telephony. Wireless
communication would be suitable because it can accommodate the movements of sender
and receiver since there is no guided link to tie down the sender and receiver to a specific
location.
4. When the risk of sabotage must be reduced. Wireless communication is less susceptible
to sabotage because of the absence of a cable link between two communicating nodes.
5. Broadcast communication e.g. Television broadcasts. Using wireless
communicationwould reduce cabling costs.
6. Fast deployment is required e.g. news reporting, seminars etc. In such an
instanceinstalling a wireless communication network would be faster than installing a
guided communication network.
7. Where cabling may not be run e.g. listed buildings
