A network of electronic devices such as computers (50) and/or calculators
(36, 38) uses low power communication to transmit wireless signals through
a distributed antenna system (40). The distributed antenna system may be
formed in conjunction with ceiling or floor tiles 62 or modular office components
(44 and 46) or student desks. The distributed antenna system 40
reduces the effective distance between a transmitting and receiving device
to a nominal distance.
