Radio "Channels"

[Andrew Frazer]

Hi, If i am running 2Mb radio channels, how many can i have operating in the 2.4Ghz space concurrently?

ALso, what mechanisms can be employed to detect and move frequency if there is interference on your channel in an automatic kind of way

Hi Andrew,

2Mbit/s gives a channel width of 2MHz, meaning you will have 40 non-overlapping channels in the 2.4GHz band. But since time separation and distance are parameters that you must take into account when discussing co-existence, the number of concurrent operating devices is higher than 40. How high depends on your set up.

Our Gazell protocol (available in our SDK) has a mechanism to detect and avoid collisions with other 2.4GHz systems.
