There's another factor beyond what Andrew stated, and it seems as though you are thinking this way in general. The entire convention hall was blasted with so many more 2.4ghz transmissions than you'd ever find in a typical working environment. The frequency hopping can only do so much if there arent any open frequencies. Sure that's where a system like this might have some difficulties, and lower band systems might not. But hey, I saw some camera guys with old VHF wireless because they knew that in this environment, they would be rock solid. It isn't going to sound so great though, and it's not going to give you the kind of functionality that the Connect will. If we are just talking about a Teradek on a camera, and maybe a handheld controller for some LED panels, those aren't going to eat up even close to the amount of available frequencies that the Connect will be using. And in this day and age, the prevalence of G Wifi is getting rarer and rarer. Even if all three of those were operating in your vicinity, its still not going to be a problem for a device which can actively search the whole band for open frequencies. Again, the range issues at NAB were because there was just so much in the airwaves. There were people who couldn't even get their 2.4ghz tech to pair in the convention hall. There's no tool thats going to cover every single job. For example, UHF wireless could have their front ends overloaded when near a tv station. Its all a matter of circumstances. I mean, no question, there are definitely some concerns about using 2.4ghz tech for talent wireless. It inherently has problems transmitting through barriers and won't travel long distances as easily as UHF will. But the way in which the Connect hops across the frequency range is pretty much the best way to tackle the issue, plus there are no end to the powerful third party 2.4ghz antennas on the market which would help improve the performance even more (since Deity is legally limited by the FCC in what they can stock with the device). Besides, 2.4ghz is necessary to achieve the constant two way communication between the transmitters and the receiver. So basically, my tests have shown it to be a ridiculously able kit. And I say that in general, without even referencing the crazily low price that they are going to be charging for it. Seriously, they should charge more.
