PRISM1BRDA
IEEE 802.11 International Agreement and
Frequency Assignments
The IEEE802 LAN committee has forged an international
agreement providing for wireless data communication
standards for the frequency range of 2.4GHz to 2.4853GHz,
as allocated by the FCC in the USA, and in the 2.471GHz to
2.497GHz frequency range, as specified by the regulatory
authority in Japan. These standards are designed to focus
the industry to develop highly integrated, low cost,
interoperable WLAN equipment, of which PRISM1BRDA is a
prime example.
There are 11 channels specified by the FCC in the 2.4GHz
to 2.4853GHz range, and one channel in the 2.471GHz to
2.497GHz range, for operation in Japan. The ETSl
(European) regulatory body conforms to the USA (FCC)
channel assignments with the exceptions of channels 1 and
2 as shown in Table 3.
The available channels of operation in the 2.4GHz to
2.4853GHz and 2.471GHz to 2.497GHz ranges are as follows:
