Interference and Metro-Scale Wi-Fi Mesh Networks

With metro-scale Wi-Fi poised to become common and even ubiquitous, two key questions arise with respect to radio interference. First, will residential and enterprise Wi-Fi systems potentially degrade metro-scale Wi-Fi network performance? Second, and far more interesting, will metro-scale Wi-Fi networks cause interference to other unrelated Wi-Fi systems located nearby? In fact, it is likely that both forms of interference will occur, says Farpoint Group, and enterprise Wi-Fi networks will need to respond to the challenge.
