[ale] OT: 2.4 ghz phones and WiFi lans

[Kilroy, Chris]

I just asked a friend of mine who works with wireless internet devices, and he says there should be no problem with the phones.

That "band" is crowded with lots of different things, including microwave ovens :p, but he said if the phone is "using spread spectrum you shouldn't notice the interference."

->I have a 900 mhz phone that has terrible range, an I'm considering
->upgrading to a 2.4 ghz.  However, I'd also like to upgrade my 
->home lan to
->wireless at some point and have read that, because 802.11 and 2.4 ghz
->phones operate in the same frequencies they can cause serious issues.

->Does anyone out there use 2.4 ghz phones around their

->What 's your experience been?  Looking for caveats.

->Thanks!
