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 occupants were from two different colleges, so we told them they needed to come up with a formal agreement on where they wanted wireless. They never did, and I think we ended up putting wireless in the office spaces eventually. I feel your pain. -Neil -- Neil Johnson Network Engineer The University of Iowa Phone: 319 384-0938 Fax: 319 335-2951 Mobile: 319 540-2081 E-Mail: neil-john...@uiowa.edu On 6/4/13 4:22 PM, "Julian Y Koh" <kohs...@northwestern.edu> wrote: >Has anyone had to deal with researchers claiming that 802.11 RF causes >interference with their laboratory experiments and apparatus?
