Don't know what his system will be like, but the system I have as absolutely no wiring between any of the components.  Everything is wireless.  Experience of two of us has been no problems while running high power levels using good equipment into well designed antennas.

These data points only involve one brand of security system however.

The coupling mechanisms are primarily poorly filtered signal wiring, Pin One Problems, poor circuit layout, and poor shielding.  To the extent that it has less external wiring, a wireless system MIGHT be less problematic, but those other mechanisms are still there.
