Likely to be an influence on signals, and may even lose the signal. 
It 
really depends on the exact location.  Suck it and see!

With the right antenna?  11Mbps is well within spec and the legal
limit at 
that distance.  Of course, you may get 0Mbps if lorries block the
signal!  
Bear in mind that 11Mbps really becomes about 5.5Mbps when you're
done.  
Have you considered RONJA
