<DIV dir=ltr>I saw this blurb online.</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>I haven't read the details yet.</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Think this will affect the frequencies we can get from MikroTik routers in the future?</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> I'd hate to have future routers "Locked" so we can't get our current frequencies.</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Possibly higher noise floor down the road too.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr> Quote from Wireless Week:</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>The FCC today moved to make 100 MHz of 5 GHz spectrum more accessible for unlicensed Wi-Fi use.<BR>The new <A href="http://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-increases-5ghz-spectrum-wi-fi-other-unlicensed-uses" target=_blank>report and order</A> focused on <U><STRONG>relaxing the rules governing the operation of Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) in the 5 GHz band, specifically removing current restriction on indoor-only use and increasing the permissible power in the 5.150-5.250 GHz band.<BR></STRONG></U>According to the FCC, the new rules will allow U-NII devices to “better integrate with other unlicensed portions of the 5 GHz band to offer faster speeds and reduce congestion at crowded Wi-Fi hot spots.”<BR>In addition, the Commission <U><STRONG>reworked rules for all unlicensed Wi-Fi operations in the 5 GHz Band and updated certain technical rules, requiring manufacturers to secure their devices against illegal modification in order to avoid interference with on-going operations in 5 GHz.<BR></STRONG></U></DIV></DIV> </div></body>
