When I moved into my house 4 years ago I thought about pulling fiber to each room… instead did CAT6.
If the WiGiG AP’s have SFP ports on them, I might change my tune considering how inexpensive media converters or switches are becoming. Biggest expense would be that 24 port SFP switch. UBNT I’d love one of those :-D Daniel White (303) 746-3590 From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Ken Hohhof Sent: Friday, June 5, 2015 9:19 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Power beamed to camera via ambient wi-fi signals -BBC News WiFi interference is getting so bad in some areas (like multitenant buildings and dense subdivisions) that I predict a revolutionary new technology will become popular: wires. At one time, it was a mark of a high end custom home that it was wired for data. Now people view wired data as kind of a Steampunk technology, for the same people who play vinyl records. But maybe we will see a resurgence. I’m thinking the home with a Tesla in the garage should have fiber in the walls and WiGig APs in every room, with fiber ports at the home office, entertainment center and server/media closet for the serious electronics. That WiFi stuff was great until the rabble got it. Similar to the Arab oil embargo in the 70’s which caused a shortage of plastic, I remember the company I worked for at the time was looking at a new miracle material to replace woodgrain plastic cabinets: actual wood. Like a Spruce Goose for your living room.

The rules allow for anything within the Grand Canyon scale broadness of the technical rules. Even with the billions of dollars invested, deployed and dependent on Wi-Fi, it remains just as much an opportunistic resident on ISM (and to some extent UNII) as anything else. In other words, one person's noise is another person's symphony.
