I work as a design engineer in the electrical department of an architectural firm devoted to serving the college and university market. Recently, we received a Request for Proposal for the renovation of a classroom building originally built in 1870 that the university wants to convert to a graduate student housing facility, while retaining some of the historical features of the building. One of my colleagues working on the computer infrastructure for this facility has just chosen to use a wireless networking scheme to avoid some of the difficulty we expect to have in running wiring throughout the facility. Another colleague has suggested that we consider using a low-power wireless fire alarm system to avoid having to install fire alarm wiring in this difficult renovation project. Can we do this and still meet the requirements of the various codes and standards?
