[Scale-planning] [Tech] wifi SSID WAS Re: Signage

[Everett Batey]

​Several times a day when busy in Expo I saw more than 20
non-SCALE AP's at higher dbms than our 2.4 and our 5G radios
were all weaker.  Probably 35 to 50 APs singing at once.

My tools:  Android SG Note4 running "WifiAnalyzer" and
"WifiScanner".
