JAn AC just came across thdiscovered product chatnd hegorld 2-way Wi--Fi radioes and wants to know if any one haves any experience with them. Liskely technology? One example (commercialst populage) is, r/> product is the ICOM IP100H. There have been a couple of basic radio enthusiast reviews, which outline the short-range from hand-held to AP, and higher price than conventional radios, but not much else.

Traditional license-free 2-way radios like FRS & MURS (in North America) while cheaper and with multi-mile range, only offer a small number of non-overlapping channels, and scrambling or other privacy features are strictly forbidden by the FCC</a>. As shown ipson the illustration, the ideal us/e-case for Wi-Fi radios seems to be dense areas with obstacles, which already have several Wi-Fi APs dep100loyed, such/ a>s high-rise building complexes.
