Defense Dept., firms reach Wi-Fi pact By Richard Shim Staff Writer, CNET News.com January 31, 2003, 1:37 PM PT Tech companies and the Department of Defense have reached a compromise on the future of wireless networking, addressing military concerns about radar interference. The two sides said Friday that they had reached a resolution that establishes a new radio frequency threshold for products using unlicensed radio spectrum--primarily Wi-Fi products. Wi-Fi is a technology that lets devices located within a 300-foot radius communicate with one another wirelessly. The Department of Defense was worried that the cumulative effect of Wi-Fi products could interfere with the military's use of radar because the regions of the spectrum in which Wi-Fi and radar operate overlap somewhat. "We feel comfortable that the new limits will protect military radar," said Badri Younes, a director of spectrum management at the Department of Defense. The two sides had been working on creating limits that allowed devices to continue to use Wi-Fi technology, domestically and internationally, while not interfering with radar. "No one is entirely happy, and that's the essence of compromise," said Intel spokesman Peter Pitsch.

<I thought we were talking about executive comp., not your average engineer.> Uh yea we are. Let's see the work/educational background on these top guys: Grove: Engineering Barrett: Engineering Baker: Engineering Bubb: Engineering Busch: Engineering and it goes on and on. Only one or two guys high up, by their nature, only have finance background... all else fit my definition. Just because they rise thru the ranks does not unstripe them. So I stand by my comments. intel.com RO
