Hi,

Im new and i probably wont post much so hello to all.

I have a wireless issue (802.11g 2.4ghz)

I run a hopsital wireless network. We have 802.11 2.4ghz access points. In 1 area of the hospital there is a system called aritech ats2003 ???

I use a tool called wi-spy and i get a ton of interference on ch 9 / 10 . A tall spike and probably the most distinct ive ever seen i.e very powerfull. this is destroying my wireless lan signal.

my question is, are these units channel selectable ?

the units are powered so why not run a hardwired cable instead ?

perhaps they have but have left the 2.4ghz signal on ?

anyone have experience of the ats2003 ?

no im afrid you cant move the wireless of the intruder alarm onto another 'band' and wifi (im assuming 'g' here) and security can cause issues. This should only happen when the 2 devices are in close proximity, ie AP and tx etc. draft n will help.

the only solution i can think of is to run 5ghz on 'g' to avoid this interference but this would isolate my IP phones that are fixed to g only hmm..

N draft is all well and good but you need gigabit POE switches (expensive if you have over 1000 10/100 3750`s with POE already) in fact the whole chain needs to be 1 gig including the controllers. also even though N loves multipath signals (where as b/g loves LOS and low rebound) a resurvey of some description would be needed moving from 2.4 to 5ghz with the extra channel.

so it would seem i need to run 5ghz in that area and enable clients who work there to auto a/b/g mode.

im not sure 5 gig will help as the sensors will be on 868MHz not 2.4GHz, but n will help as it will 'hop' around.

You can use n on megabit but you will be limited to that, and to be fair if you reliably achieve over 100 meg id be amazed even with n

well thats true but i have desk ip phones aswell i may reach the limit of the switches power seen as N AP`s are almost twice the power consumption !

oh right.

Injectors?

oh right.

nah, per port its cheaper to buy POE switches than a panel for injectors though.

A radio works fine on 5ghz and so does G. As part of the backwards compatibilty of 802.11 standard 5ghz will run erp-ofdm for g radio on 5ghz.

maybe i should stick around on this site, i can give qualified wireless help if needed ?
