Is 900 MHz unlicensed?
The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has three primary frequency bands designated for unlicensed operation. Unlicensed means the operator of the radios does not need to file directly with the FCC to use the radio. The three frequency bands used for this in the U.S. are the 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz.
What frequencies does the FCC regulate?
The FCC regulates radio frequency (RF) devices contained in electronic-electrical products that are capable of emitting radio frequency energy by radiation, conduction, or other means. These products have the potential to cause interference to radio services operating in the radio frequency range of 9 kHz to 3000 GHz.
What frequency is allocated by the FCC commercial AM transmission?
Currently only frequency bands between 9 kHz and 275 GHz have been allocated (i.e., designated for use by one or more terrestrial or space radiocommunication services or the radio astronomy service under specified conditions).
Which is better 900 MHz or 2.4 Ghz?
Higher frequencies can use less power, but will reflect off of dense surfaces. The 900MHz radio system is at a lower frequency and will penetrate surfaces more easily. Tempest 2.4GHz systems are more reflective and tend to be affected more by bodies, foliage, or moisture that can attenuate the signal.
Is 2.4GHz licensed?
24Ghz. An FCC Licensed Radio will allow you to use frequencies usually cordoned off by the US Government. Manufacturers for the 24GHz frequency include; Ubiquiti Networks airFiber products.
Who owns 900MHz?
Anterix
Anterix says it owns approximately 60% of all the licensed spectrum in the 900 MHz band, and has nationwide coverage throughout the contiguous United States, Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico.
What does FCC mean on electronics?
FCC certification is a type of product certification for electronic and electrical goods that are manufactured or sold in the United States. It certifies that the radio frequency emitted from a product is within limits approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
