The most used indoor bands will likely be the two lower bands
(5.150-5.250 and 5.250-5.350 which have power in the 40mW and 200mW
levels respectively), the two upper bands will likely be used more
frequently outdoors (due to their higher upper power level limits of
1000mW and 800mW).

There are other factors such as station supplicant/radio support for the
added bands (newer devices should support all of them - but they're new
so you should double check).

Still, some of the upper bands might be used indoors in higher capacity
applications.  And who doesn't want more capacity?

Likewise, does anyone have a feel for which bands within
5GHz will be commonly used indoors?
