Given the range of 11a, it's possible interference issues will be minor.
Yes, I hope you're right. It's possible, given the nature of RF at that frequency that interference issues will be slight or at worst, easily mitigated. But at least it's not a train wreck like HF BPL.
Actually, unlike 11b, 11a is limited to indoor, short range operation. That's why you (usually) don't find antenna jacks on 11a gear.

Thanks for clearing that up. I was not aware of that fact. I stand corrected.

Other things use 5ghz like higher-range wireless links. (Point to multipoint systems like Motorola Canopy or Proxim Tsunami Multipoint).
It will certainly be a problem when a power company decides to offer BPL in an area where others are using the non-licensed bands.
I think non-licensed bands should be reserved for the smaller guys that cannot affor to pay tons for a licensed frequency. A power company can afford to license something else and use that eliminating all interference concerns. |
