Comment: added regulatory stuff for U-NII band and channel 165 for 802.11a - cp
Deletions are marked like this. Additions are marked like this.
Line 22: Line 22:
For 802.11a, there are 12 non-interfering channels. These are numbered in 5 MHz intervals, so the channel numbers hop by 4s.

||Channel||Frequency||
||36||5.180||
||40||5.200||
||44||5.220||
||48||5.240||
||52||5.260||
||56||5.280||
||60||5.300||
||64||5.320||
||149||5.745||
||153||5.765||
||157||5.785||
||161||5.805||
||165||5.825||

These channels are within the "U-NII Band" and are further seperated into three classes:

||Frequency Range||Description||
||5.15 - 5.25||"Low", max power 50mW, in-building use only, antenna must be integrated||
||5.25 - 5.35||"Middle", max power 250mW||
||5.725 - 5.825||"High", max power 1W, for point-to-point outdoor connections||

1,6,11 are the optimal non-overlapping channels. Any channels seperated by at least 5 don't overlap, so if someone is using 3 in a given area, 8 would be the next available non-interfering channel.

For 802.11a, there are 12 non-interfering channels. These are numbered in 5 MHz intervals, so the channel numbers hop by 4s.
