Sam, all, I believe the interference they are referring to is when using the same integrated antenna in a laptop and also when operating RF chipsets in close proximity within the laptop. Interference would need to be blocked at the chipset by shielding with any common antenna introducing an entirely different problem. Not sure how Intel would handle that but this wouldn't be a problem for your project, as I understand it. Intel is simply trying to keep costs and space down on their chips.
When using separate radios, this problem is not an issue but you still need to use some kind of shielding and separate antennas to mitigate the problem that might occur if all encased in one box.

(2) Strip out their radios. (3) Install a mini ITX board with Open Wrt for PTP access on one NS2. (4) Plug in the WiMAX usb and plug into the backhaul NS2. (5) The whole thing runs outdoors on 12 watts and needs no DSL. (6) Mount it behind acrylic (changeable) picture frame for aesthetics and revenue. Is that doable? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ The Personal Telco Project - http://www.personaltelco.net/ Donate to PTP: http://www.personaltelco.net/donate Archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.wireless.portland.general/ Etiquette: http://www.personaltelco.net/index.cgi/MailingListEtiquette List information: http://lists.personaltelco.net To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
