Question

A municipal clinic will co-locate Wi-Fi, BLE patient tags, and Zigbee environmental sensors in the same 2.4 GHz band. What planning action best coordinates those systems?

Accepted Answer

Plan channel and airtime coexistence deliberately—prefer non-overlapping Wi-Fi channels where possible, constrain IoT duty cycles, and validate with spectrum or packet observation. — Same 2.4 GHz neighborhood means everyone shares the air, not just the logo on the box. Plan Wi-Fi channels, keep IoT chatty devices from hogging airtime, and verify with real spectrum or captures. Hoping brand names isolate radios is wishful thinking.

Answer

Run clinic Wi-Fi only on 2.4 GHz channel 6 at 40 MHz and ignore BLE/Zigbee energy.

Answer

Assume BLE and Zigbee never affect Wi-Fi because they use different brand names.

Answer

Disable all clinic Wi-Fi so only Zigbee remains, regardless of EHR workstation needs.
