Actually I think the DECT phones work best because that is actually dedicated spectrum for them. If the WISP industry were to also get dedicated unlicensed spectrum that only outdoor WISPs could use and not contend with all other unlicensed users in the band then things would be a lot better for them as well. I believe the reason the DECT phones were given that spectrum is because it’s actually a guard band for the cellular/PCS licenses between transmit and receive channel plans.

So the FCC is giving us a new Wi-Fi lane That was the logic behind portable phones going from 0.9 GHz to 2.4 GHz to 5.8GHz, then finally DECT 6. 0.9 GHz probably would have been the best option because it had the most range, but got trashed with baby monitors, wireless weather stations and smart meters. DECT 6 actually work pretty well, but not because it's one more than 5, but because it occupied the sweet spot between 0.9GHz and 2.4GHz. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 4/23/2020 10:22 AM, Cameron Crum wrote: Don't you love it when non-technical people write articles? "It spans the 6GHz frequency range, which means it’s much faster than both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi". Wow I didn't know radio waves got faster with higher frequency. Now, I can see how more bandwidth would allow more throughput, but faster because it's in 6GHz just doesn't cut the mustard. And we wonder why so many people believe 5G is killing us...
