As there is more 2.4 GHz ISM equipment installed, especially in urban areas, how do we combat the threat of interference?
A. All ISM band communications are time based that is the transmitters are only on the air for the time required for the data frame to be transmitted, then they turn off, and the unit goes into receive mode, and when any data system is idle, all the units involved normally are in receive mode, listening for a transmitter to send data. In the USA and Canada, synchronization of any kind is not allowed, so data always is transmitted quite randomly. The FCC and Industry Canada both state in the articles that govern all the ISM bands that all equipment must not cause interference to other communications equipment, and the same equipment must accept any interference from any other ISM systems. To make sure you are using this shared frequency band most efficiently, check the following: Be sure that your collision-avoidance mechanism is working properly. In both BreezeNET and BreezeACCESS, this means that RTS is enabled, and the carrier sense level is properly set (too low will cause noise to
