Hello:
Our University is installing wireless hubs in our buildings (2.8 and 5.6 GHz).
I would like to know whether people found interference with their equipment from
the radio signal.  We have an LSM410 (upgraded by LSM Tech) with a FLIM system
(Becker and Hickl SPC-830 with MCP-PMT and PMT).  My greatest concern is the
FLIM (we also have TCSPC in the same room) because of the warnings about radio
noise pick up.  I thought that I read somewhere that radio waves are not good
for MCP-PMT coatings but I cannot find this comment again.
If anyone has a good test to ensure reliability of experiments and longevity of
equipment, I would be grateful.
Thank you,
Sophie
