Do you mean something like this:

reusable
hardware and software modules already on the market, shared-spectrum
wireless microphones may eventually be less expensive than the
proprietary
solutions of today.

Hey all,

Sorry to bumble in cluelessly, but what are you talking about? This
sounds incredible. Is there a site or some information about someone
doing this? Why is it something that could never be duplicated by a
small tier manufacturer? What is the Ricsonix stuff all about? I
couldn't get to NAB.

There is a partial miracle in terms of much lower cost of the
replacement.
Bluetooth radio, wth hundreds of millions of units in the field,
represents
an engineering effort that could never be duplicated by a small tier
manufacturer, yet is available for damn close to zero. The equivalent
of
the
Zaxcom radio section, implemented in Bluetooth, costs about a buck.
In
terms of a Bluetooth dongle, is is necessary only to strip out the USB
interface, replace it with a packetizing processor, and an A/D. The
receiving end is a strictly software proposition, as any laptop with a
Bluetooth dongle can link to multiple Bluetooth mikes.

This is why wireless microphones are unlikely to receive special
consideration for spectrum.
