900 MHz Wireless Access Points

At yesterday's Wildpackets seminar, Joe Bardwell mentioned techniques to lessen the chances of finding rouge wireless networks. He said someone wanting to hide a rogue wireless network should use a frequency not currently popular. Given most people run 802.11b at 2.4 GHz or 802.11a at 5 GHz, that leaves something operating at 900 MHz. Thanks to Cisco documentation, I found products by Aironet, which Cisco bought, that run at 900 MHz. They include:

• Aironet 1200: 900 MHz Wireless LAN Adapter; Standard type II PC Card


• Aironet AP 1200-E: 900 MHz Wireless Access Point
