5 GHz tends to be highly directional. I doubt interference will increase. Besides, interference with what? Fixed satellite operators are the only people on that band, I think.

But I do know my microwave stuff. Over 25 years as a design engineer, dealing with frequencies as high as 160 GHz.

"frequencies as high as 160 GHz"

Do those go well down the pipes?

5 GHz tends to be highly directional.

I understand and am not all that worried about the transmission frequency (the intentional radiator). I am just concerned with more and different cheap crap coming in that is poorly engineered (unintentional radiators).

I have seen too many examples of poorly shielded consumer equipment (the type that is sold for a song on ebay) that splatters everyplace...

And I can see a new band opening up where people will just have to get the latest capability...and on the cheap.
