It is true that a 802.11 based 3.650 product is not going to be any better than 2.4. A wimax based 3.650 product is going to gve field performance much like 2.4. A diversity based 3.650 system is going to provide coverage much like, and oftentimes exceeding that of 900Mhz. These observations

I don't think I'd go that far. In many areas 2.4 is useless, so by that very token, 3.650 would be a world of better because it's virgin territory. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -- From: Mike Cowan

The cards are more expensive to manufacture, due to lower volumes but also the higher power they need to pump out (we add an external heat sink because they get too hot for our comfort), and the exotic filtering necessary to get them to work correctly on the very noisy 900Mhz band. The SR9 and

I'd offer technical reason not to buy 900 system based primarily on price. The build-your-own gear using XR9 or SR9 type cards or wifi systems converted to do 900 are inferior to popular proprietary 900 systems in many cases where interference exists. I have used Alvarion BA-II 900, Trango
