Actually, no. 802.11a is inherently better for this sort of
environment than 802.11b or 802.11g. Instead of having 3
non-overlapping channels, it has 8. Also, being at 5G it doesn't
propagate as far as the 2.4G, which for us would be a real win since it
would reduce interference even further. Oh, and you get 54M to share
rather than 11M to boot :-)
I strongly encourage people to consider bringing 802.11a cards to
future meetings! (Note: Of course, now that I've said that, the future
hosts will decide against deploying it)
5ghz unii allocations differ by country as well. in the US we have
5.15-5.35 for indoor/outdoor and 5.725-5.825 for outdoor. japan has
5.15-5.25 and europe has 5.15-5.35 and 5.47-5.725. I'm not sure what the
allocation is in korea but it may well be different than that supported by
regulatory domain A US card was built for.
I would note that the a hopeful sign is that samung is a vendor of 802.11a
equipment.
