As per the thread,
Is is possible to successfully operate a signal box from EE and the sure signal from Vodafone in the same room in the house.
I realise they will send/receive signal on a similar frequency but not the exact same.
Will there be interference?
Lucan???

Absolutely fine. As you say they will be operating on a different frequency within each network's own spectrum which has to be carefully controlled. They stop working for a bit if they can't ensure frequency accuracy.
I could be wrong but I think the signal boxes connect back to their specific service providers via a VPN that is created so you may have conflicting port issues if using both at the same time.
In the same room - fine. On top of each other - probably less fine and might degrade performance a bit.
All radio hardware "leaks" small amounts of interference well outside it's designated frequency range. It's kept to a minimum, but is impossible to be gotten rid of completely. Consumer-grade hardware tends to be worse. Due to the inverse square law, this only really becomes a problem at distances on the order of a few feet or less.
