Re: Radio Inteference.
Like the 900 MHz band, the 2.4 GHz band is an unlicensed ISM band because it is prone to interference from common electronic equipment. While 900 MHz may seem rather crowded, the 2.4 GHz band may be even worse. 802.11 wireless networks, cordless phones, microwave ovens, Bluetooth devices, and wireless video transmitters all operate in the 2.4 GHz range. It is very likely - especially in a populated area - that the interference experienced in the 2.4 GHz band would be far worse than that found in the 900 MHz range.
