I know your telephony is slightly different (T1 vs E1, T3 vs E3, etc.), but IEEE standards...well, they're international... Anyway...I don't see how wi-fi signaling can damage a backbone. Geeks discuss...So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Geeks discuss... 802.11 is an IEEE standard that is the protocol. In the US your regulations are FCC Part 15, in Europe our equivalent is EN300-440, I don't know about Israel. FCC regulations are far more lax than European requirements. I wouldn't be surprised if the iPad doesn't meet European EMC or Radio regulations and that could be the basis. I can't be bothered to refer to FCC Part 15 and EN300-440 to confirm but it is quite likely that you are allowed 2 or 3 times more power than that allowed in Europe (i.e 2 or 3 watts versus 1watt).Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.

huge 0 #3 April 17, 2010 Yeah, it's different. There are two extra channels (12 and 13) allowed in most of the Europe that aren't allowed in US. There are also differences on max allowed transmit power. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
