DFS Management. Each device implements a proprietary distributed chan-
nel switching algorithm which is used when a radar is detected to com-
ply with the Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) international regulations.
Upon radar detection, two communicating Fluidmesh units agree to switch
to the next radar-free channel so that they can continue to communicate on
that channel. The DFS is automatically enabled in the following frequency
ranges: 5.250 GHz – 5.350 GHz and 5.470 GHz – 5.725 GHz. The DFS
management can be manually disabled. The number of detected radars is
reported as well. Outside these mandatory frequency bands, the DFS is
not required and it is disabled by default. Please note the DFS is required
by law in many countries and by disabling it you might incur fines and crim-
inal charges by the local telecommunication authorities.
