The wireless carrier tweaks its new Wi-Fi networks in Starbucks to avoid interfering with other wireless networks that are already operating in the same area. Just before T-Mobile announced the nationwide implementation with Starbucks on Wednesday, the carrier was tipped off by a Portland, Ore., network operator that the signals from the new T-Mobile service were interfering with his Wi-Fi network. Realizing the same interference issues potentially existed at all the Starbucks locations--already popular places to install the wireless networks--T-Mobile engineers were forced on the eve of the announcement to quickly add Cisco software to all the Wi-Fi access points so they would search for clear patches of airspace and not interfere with other networks.
