This work studied the effects of physical environ ment (trees and buildings) obstructions on the Lionet in Nsukka campus of the Un iversity of Nigeria. The effects of these obstructions were measured by the variation in path loss and received signal strength as functions of distance using computer simu lation and field measurement. The simulat ion results were co mpared with the field measurement results, conducted under free space condition and where the Lionet signal was obstructed by trees and buildings. The results show that trees and buildings have significant effects on the path loss and the received signal strength of the Lionet. The study therefore reco mmends that the power level of the Lionet should be imp roved for efficient performance, mo re access points should be deployed at locations where obstructions are prevalent, and Lionet should possibly migrate fro m wireless to fibre optic network.
