We’ve been getting some similar requests for things like thermostats and the like. I’m thinking that the opportunity exists for conversations that go beyond just frequency band usage and interference avoidance and talking about what possibilities exist to move these devices to the 802.11 network itself. Obviously that’s not going to work for every situation but I think we at least need to try to get ahead of this so that we can be involved in purchasing decisions/discussions. -- Julian Y.
