[IRCA] Re: wireless MW interference?

["Tim Kridel" <tkridel@xxxxxxxxx>]

They're probably using 802.11b, which runs at 2.4 GHz, so it shouldn't
interfere with the BCB. Same with 802.11, which runs at 5.8 GHz, but public
hot spots tend to use the more common 802.11b.

Subject: [IRCA] wireless MW interference?


an article in the NY Times today begins as below.  Are there any MW
interference issues with these initiatives, or do they tend to be clean? 

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 11 - If Mayor John F. Street has his way, by next year
this 135-square-mile metropolis will become one gigantic wireless hot spot,
offering every neighborhood high-speed access to the Web at below-market
prices in what would be the largest experiment in municipal Internet service
in the country. 

City officials envision a seamless mesh of broadband signals that will
enable the police to download mug shots as they race to crime scenes in
their patrol cars, allow truck drivers to maintain Internet access to
inventories as they roam the city, and perhaps most important, let students
and low-income residents get on the net. 

Experts say the Philadelphia model, if successful, could provide the tipping
point for a nationwide movement to make broadband affordable and accessible
in every municipality. From tiny St. Francis, Kan., to tech-savvy San
Francisco, more than 50 local governments have already installed or are on
the verge of creating municipal broadband systems for the public.
