RE: 2.4 GHz will be a mess in 2-3 yrs anywayHi Mardy
1) Yes at Cebit the entire conference centre was to be set
up as a bluetooth net. It was not a failure due to inteference
but due to a bunch of manufactuer's trying to get devices
that have not passed interoperability tests to talk to
eachother all at once. Once full qualification and inter-op
tests are ironed out (and they will over the next few years)
then less of these messes will occur.
2) The FCC has been lobbied by the bluetooth SIG for the
last 2 years. This change was to accomoda the this SIG which
is backed by the big players. It's not viewed as rope to hang
one self, however I would take it as a "clear the deck"
and move on to 5.8 GHz ASAP to technology that gets
clobberd by FH
I would suggest that the battelground to fight and secure
with the FCC IS the 5.8 GHZ bandwidth (before the SIG
starts eyballing this for Btooth 2)
