Impact of wired speakers and wired video cameras on wifi

Muhammed Adnan

Dear Experts 

I have a large wifi network in a mall where in the mount locations for wireless access points is kept near to wired speakers and cameras. Per my understanding this should nit cause any concern for radio waves.

However wanted to have inputs from anyone who if in case ran into any issues for similar sort of deployment.

Electronic equipment might emits EM radiation and is EM radiation is bad for radio signals?

Best regards

Adnan

I think it should be ok.

The only thing raising a though in my mind is the speakers.  Speakers have magnets.  Magnets can affect RF.

Are these great big speakers with great big magnets, or something a bit smaller?

Actually these are real gaint speakers from Bose. I am having a distance of over 0.180 meters for wifi from these speakers. 

Wondering if these would still have some impact.

Wow, tough call.  Never had that situation myself.

I'm going to guess you will be 90% ok.  Personally I think I would be happier if I could get 1m of separation from the big speakers.

I think you are going to have to just try it.
