None that I'm aware of - the only one of particular concern (and only in
Europe), is the 5.470-5.725 band since it's required there to run .11h
to ensure no interference with their aircraft radar systems.

Frankly, the only place you'd see this is in an airport in Europe and
the only device that needs to worry about it are AP and Stations in use
at those locations.  We have yet to see a instance in Europe that has
had this issue.

As higher level standards in 802.11 call for more AP control, this will
become more valuable in ensuring less co-channel interference across
heterogeneous environments.  But, it will also mean less need for IT
intervention as the access device will make these complex decisions
themselves - thus removing needs for high level RF expertise. 

Regards,

Jon

Do any of the bands have lesser/no DFS requirements?  If so, those are
will
be more attractive.

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?
