Outline
 Electromagnetic spectrum and ISM bands
 IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi)
 Bluetooth
 IEEE 802.15.4

Electromagnetic Spectrum
RF range

 Government regulations make specific ranges


of the electromagnetic spectrum available for
communication
 A license is required to operate transmission
equipment in some parts of the spectrum
 Some parts are unlicensed

3
ISM Bands
 Industrial, Scientific, and Medical frequency
bands
 Can operate without FCC licenses
 Tx output power  1 watt
 Eliminate cost and time consuming for licenses

wireless equipment formed the Wi-Fi
Alliance
 A non-profit organization that tests and
certifies wireless equipment using the
802.11 standards
