WiFi companies and military agree on noise-limits

The military and a consortium of WiFi vendors have agreed on interference thresholds for 802.11 devices that will allow them to peacefully (heh) co-exist with military radar.

"We feel comfortable that the new limits will protect military radar," said Badri Younes, a director of spectrum management at the Department of Defense...
"No one is entirely happy, and that's the essence of compromise," said Intel spokesman Peter Pitsch.
