MR and Cisco AP signals

Did any one install Meraki and cisco access points in the same building? I need to install both in the same building but each one belong to a different network and different SSID, I am wondering if the wifi signal will get effect. Can you please help me with this.

what if manually change the channels for Meraki to use different channels that in cisco? is that will help?

no reason why both platforms couldn't be tweaked to avoid channel overlaps.

I'm not an employee of Cisco/Meraki. My posts are based on Meraki best practice and what has worked for me in the field.
