[WISPA] mismarked phones

2007-07-18 Thread Mike Ireton

Hi All,

	I have numerous examples of cordless phones that all claim to be 
'2.4ghz' or '5.8' ghz, but in fact are 900mhz models. This is maddening 
and frusterating for subs on 900mhz systems such as trango and canopy as 
these interfere pretty bad with their service. This misleading labeling 
has also led to situations where subs have gone to get new phones, 
different manufacturer and models, and they also turn out to be 900, 
increasing customer frusteration and giving us a black eye. The fcc 
numbers on the phones give us the right information - it's the product 
packaging and product parkings on the phone and base station that are 
wrong. Isn't there something wrong with this? Aren't manufacturers of 
this stuff required to say '900mhz' if it's 900mhz and not misrepresent 
it as 5.8ghz when it's not?

I recall on the moto list, maybe it was chuck, determined that 2.4 and 5 
gig phones also use 900 to either send or recieve.


That would be why they are alll 900MHz as well.
