We operate an ISP in South Texas and use several frequencies in the unlicensed spectrum. Works great for us and any other company that does Wi-Fi. We do not use the frequencies of any of this medical equipment.

However, it is very surprising to me that equipment as important as this is being utilized in the unlicensed spectrum, which gives it about as much security and connection persistence as a cordless telephone. I would think that medical equipment should utilize dedicated licensed frequencies to handle critical monitoring applications.

Come on Doctors, quit barking up the wrong tree and start calling your equipment vendors and telling them you want equipment that is on a dedicated, licensed frequency, that does not have to be susceptible to outside interference from other unlicensed sources and you will be ahead of the game.

We had a similar problem with our wireless phone, you just pressed a button and the problem was solved.

I bet a lot of them just need a copy of the user manual. ;) :|
