True, and it's even worse for the 5.6 GHz stuff that most of DECT is using 
these days!  The marketing departments have everyone convinced that bigger 
frequency numbers are better.  For most real-world environments the exact 
opposite is true.  The only advantage I know of for higher frequency is more 
available bandwidth and less congestion.

>You may be better off with something that uses lower frequencies 

True.  I have an Engenius high power 900 MHz unit that covered the property 
fairly well and about half of the road, and that with the base station in the 
walk out basement at about the lowest point on the property.  Unfortunately it 
went up in smoke one day.  Also in a POTS environment it could only work with 
one line.

We'll see what this setup does with appropriate location of the base.
