One of the ways to minimise interference is through advertising your SSID so that other users of the band can take steps to avoid interference and conflicts.
For this purpose Air-Stream advertise the SSID on all their AP’s including backhaul links between sites. This not only makes it easier for users to connect, but also provides other wireless users with all the information needed to minimise interference.
This information can be acquired easily via any wireless device when completing a site survey providing information about the user, channels used, general location and the direction in which antennas maybe pointed.
For example an Air-Stream AP will use the SSID: Air-Stream-Location Name and a Back Haul link may have an SSID: Air-Stream-LoacationFrom-LocationTo
