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 policy but we made an exception and installed an AP that they could unplug. That AP's uptime (101d) matches the controllers uptime. So either they have not run any test since then or they discovered no interference from wi-fi. My guess is no interference.
