Techniques for Reducing Interference
When dealing with interference, you should coordinate the operation of radio-based wireless network products with your company's frequency management organization, if one exists. Government organizations and most hospitals generally have people who manage the use of transmitting devices. This coordination will avoid potential interference problems.
In fact, coordination with frequency management officials is a mandatory requirement before operating radio-based wireless devices of any kind on a U.S. military base. The military does not follow the same frequency allocations issued by the FCC. The FCC deals with commercial sectors of the U.S., and the military has its own frequency management process. You must obtain special approval from the government to operate wireless LAN products on military bases and some government locations because they may interfere with some of the military's systems. The approval process can take several months to complete.
