list of devices using 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands

[Hannah Sassaman, Prometheus Radio Project]

hey, i'm interested in compiling a list of devices that use the 2.4 GHz
and 5 GHz bands, respectively. i know microwave ovens and cordless
phones tend to use 2.4, for example. this is reasearch that may exist
out there already, but i work at a media advocacy group called
prometheus radio project that's trying to compile as much as we can on
wireless broadcasting and community wireless networks. drop me a line
here, or at hannahjs (at) prometheusradio.org with your thoughts.

Hmmmm... Well, maybe go to the FCC ID web pile at:
https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm
and search for devices that have receive approval for Part 15
intentional and unintentional radiators. There should be several
thousand devices listed. Is that what you want? What's a "device"?

Well, if you want classes of devices and technology that use
2.4/5.7GHz as intentional radiators, we have (off the top of my
rapidly deplititating head).

1. 802.11b/g wireless devices.
2. 2.4GHz cordless phones (various modulation types).
3. High speed point to point links that use proprietary protocols.
4. Microwave ovens.
5. RF excited sulfur lamps by Fusion Lighting (defunct).

6. Wireless video extensions for security cameras and X10 systems.
7. Wireless mouse and keyboard (mostly using Wireless USB from
Cypress semiconductor).

8. Bluetooth
9. Zigbee
10. Microwave fruit dryers, plastics preheaters, and moisture
removers.
11. ISM (Industrial, scientific, manufacturing) devices used in
research.
12. Low speed 2.4GHz data links. For example:
| http://www.freewave.com/fgr24series.html
13. WiMax on 2.4 and 5.6GHz. (Clearwire, NextNet)
14. Karlnet based WISP (wireless internet service provider).

I probably forgot a bunch, but is this what you want?
Why are you making this list (I'm curious)?

I think they already have a list.They seem to be fairly well acquainted
with the FCC.

JUst trying to help. The site appears to be 99% about Low Power FM
broadcasting. Reading the last link (above), they seem to consider
2.4GHz as an alternative to LPFM as a means of providing "community
media". I read all 9 pages twice and still can't figure out exactly
what they're trying to accomplish.

I just re-read it and I know what you mean.
