RE: [BAWUG] Atheros announcement

[Sheung Li]

We've been finding the noise floor around -98 dBm these days, even in 
the vicinity of the 2.4GHz death ray that we got the experimental 
license for :)

This noise floor is only a limiting factor if you use a transmission 
method with no coding gain (certainly not the case with these 802.11 
systems).  GPS is a prime example of a system that must operate below 
the nominal noise floor.

Note also that unlicensed is very different from unregulated.   One can 
only the unlicensed bands with Part 15 certified equipment unless the 
products fall under the 15.23 home-built devices exclusion.  Any 
prototype devices require experimental licenses.

Too bad the noise floor in most parts the bay area is at around -95 ->
-85 these days...
