Re: Why Not Use ISM band?
I have a feeling we might see 2.4GHz radios in the new control system. For MIT's 2.007 competition, we switched over to ZigBee serial bridges this year. They're cheap, easy to use, have good range, and worked very well overall. But no radio can be entirely free of glitches: we found a slight increase in dropped packets in the presence of 802.11g wireless networks. The current 900Mhz radios probably don't have this problem.
