Suppose someone is building a new office building or factory, and suppose that there is a requirement to tie in all the computers in the building or factory through either a wired or wireless networking system. Under what circumstances would wireless be the most cost effective way to go? Remember, this is for a NEW structure, where no wires or conduits are already in place.

I don't think HDR was intended to serve an entire office building although it could be done. I seem to recall Irwin Jacobs mentioning that once the bandwidth demands became this large, HDR or CDMA2000 would not be the best solution. I think copper or fiber optic from the street is the way to go in order to reduce expenses in the long run (and perhaps the initial investment might be less also).
