Agreed. There is rarely a thing as a perfectly-directional antenna
(not without a lot of shielding, I would presume).

Since I would presume that all the radios are controlled by the same
host, perhaps it could coordinate the 802.11 DCF and sequence CTS
frames so that the various client and AP radios remain as spectrally
orthogonal as possible. There's not much you can do about the clients
transmitting RTSes, but it can be predicted to a certain extent.

Agreed. More, lower-power APs means better spectral efficiency and
overall resilience.
