How does this sort of tech handle large scale use? Living in an apartment where all but one corner is in range of 60+ traditional access points has been a huge pain for my connectivity. I can only imagine it would be worse when you're

Db would be 01. Dbb would be 00. (or 11 and 10 for the octave) The point ajuc is making is that the flat-sharp accidentals aren't used or needed at all if you just assign numbers to each tone. There's no concept of flat or sharp,
