RF interference from 802.11

2013-06-04 Thread Julian Y Koh
Has anyone had to deal with researchers claiming that 802.11 RF causes interference with their laboratory experiments and apparatus? We're getting rumblings out of our Physics department - they are trying to prevent APs from getting installed in their area because of what they say are highly se

When our new physics building was built, some of the professors specifically asked for no wireless in the basement lab area, and we complied. now, students are specifically asking for better wireless coverage as they get some leakage from the fist floor. to date, there have been no impact to r

The faculty in our Physics department had concerns as well as one researcher in Chemistry. Per agreement, we installed wireless in the same manner as anywhere else on campus but we turned the power down very low (Cisco 3502i lightweight access points with power level 5 in the 2.4 GHz range) near d

We faced the same situation in a building with multiple tenants. Researchers with labs didn't want wireless because they were concerned that it would interfere with their equipment (They didn't want to spend the money to shield the equipment) while people in the office spaces wanted it. The occupa

I'd ask for some proof (nicely). If needed, you can get some spectrum analysis software to see what's actually happening in the RF space in their labs. Ultimately I'd leave it up to the occupants of the building to decide whether they want WiFi or not (and get the decision in writing). Heath B

We had to deal with this also. The location in question was newly constructed with shielding to prevent interference from the outside world to their very sensitive equipment. The thing is, they requested an AP in that area that can be turned on/off at their discretion. This goes against our poli
