DoD and Wi-Fi Companies Reach Pact
Posted by Janak Parekh in "NEWS" @ 08:15 AM
I reported on the conflict between the Department of Defense and 5GHz Wi-Fi technologies about a month ago, and happily, it seems they've reached a pact.
"Tech companies and the Department of Defense have reached a compromise on the future of wireless networking, addressing military concerns about radar interference.
The two sides said Friday that they had reached a resolution that establishes a new radio frequency threshold for products using unlicensed radio spectrum--primarily Wi-Fi products. Wi-Fi is a technology that lets devices located within a 300-foot radius communicate with one another wirelessly."
