Will 5.8 GHz cordless phone interfere with Wirless-N?

[wmarson]

Hi. Knowing that the Wireless-N is transmitted on the 5 GHz frequency, might there be any interference with my cordless phone that is operating on the 5.8 GHz freq?

It can using the higher channels, but those channels also output more signal strength. Get an DECT 6.0(1.9GHz) phone.

yes, DECT 6 has it's own private band.

Most US approved wireless routers use the 8 channels between 5.180 - 5.320. This means they don't touch the freely available channels in 5.8Ghz.

If you want to play it safe then get a DECT 1.9Ghz phone.

Few Questions:

What specs does a cordless phone need to have to be Wireless BGN friendly?

Does this DECT thing have to be part of it?

If so, please point me to the best/ economical DECT compliant phones available in the USA, UK, Germany, Hongkong/ Singapore.

(I am currently in India so I'll have to source from one of the above locations)

BONUS: If it can pair with a Bluetooth headset for calls.
