Air is so noisy in the Microwaves range these days (cellular, Wi-Fi, you name it...), I would think that people that use spectrometers that are sensitive to Microwaves have to worry about a lot more things than just University based Wi-Fi.
Why not isolate the spectrometer instead of the Wi-Fi? How do they plan to deal with rogue Wi-Fi from the guy next door that wanted Wi-Fi but couldn't get it because of the Spectrometer ;-) Philippe Univ. of TN On Feb 22, 2011, at 12:35 PM, Chanowski, John wrote: > Because APs are a heat source, we have been prohibited from installing them > in some rooms that are temperature sensitive and also in some rooms that are > vibration sensitive.
