Outward Interference

Outward interference occurs when a wireless network's signal disrupts other systems, such as adjacent wireless LANs and navigation equipment on aircraft. This disruption results in the loss of some or all of the system's functionality. Interference is uncommon with wireless LAN products operating in the public spread spectrum bands because they operate on such little power (less than 1 watt). The transmitting components must be very close and operating in the same band for either one to experience inward or outward interference.
