I don't fully understand how devices on this band can co-exist on the same channel. I know that cell phones use code devision multiplexing (CDMA). Your cell phone is on the same channel as several others, and they work just fine. So it is being done, I just don't know how its being done on 2.4.

I think this thread lacks a solid technical explanation of that. E.g. does a wifi access point on the same 'channel' as a 2.4 system actually cause a conflict if the two are some sane distance apart. I mean, in the real world, I don't fly standing on top of a wifi base station. Most of those are inside anyway. Its hard as it is to get reception in the next room. 2.4 Signals don't pass through anything substantial. If the two are say 1/4 mile apart will you have an issue? If the Rx is between you and the AP? If the AP is between you and the Rx?
