    WIRELESSFREQUENCYSPECTRUM

    Ideal for wireless Link or WISP Design


    Choosing the right type of wireless frequency spectrum is extremely important when designing your Wireless Links.
    Your choice of wireless frequency can alter the attributes and abilities of your network. Each spectrum has its
    advantages and disadvantages, by understanding these you can better determine where to deploy certain frequency
    equipment in your wireless solution.

    Licensed vs. Non-licensed


    The Indian Government, through the DOT (Department of telecommunication) has set rules and guidelines for the
    use of radio equipment to better control wireless frequency "traffic". The more wireless "traffic" the less effective
    wireless signal transmissions become. In order to avoid most radio interference, the DOT has allowed businesses to
    purchase allotments of frequency spectrum which they can broadcast on without any outside interference from others
    using the same frequency. This is the ideal situation for wireless networking; however, this frequency "real estate"
    does not come cheap. It is almost financially impossible for most individuals to license private frequency spectrum.
    This is why we steer the vast majority of WISP entrepreneurs or any individual away from licensed frequency bands.
    Non-licensed frequency is a vastly cheaper and quicker platform for building your wireless solution.
    Despite the heavy use of the license free spectrum, it is still an excellent platform for building cheap, fast and reliable
    wireless networks.

    License Free
    The DOT has provided several license-free bands for the wireless community to utilize (ISM & U-NII bands). They
    are:

    2.4 GHz: 2412-2462 MHz


    5 GHz:, 5825-5875 MHz

    Frequency Attributes

    Wireless signals have changing attributes as frequency, wavelength, amplitude and several other key features
    change.

    When Frequency Increases

    Becomes easier to attenuate (cant travel as easily through obstacles i.e. foliage, walls etc).
    Able to transmit more bandwidth.

    When Frequency Decreases:

    More effective when transmitting through obstacles-less attenuation (when compared to higher frequency
    signals).
    Cant transmit as much bandwidth as higher frequency signals.

    The lower frequency bands (i.e. 900 MHz, 2.4 MHz) are much more congested, with more wireless "traffic"
    than the higher frequency- 5 GHz bands.
