This recommendation allows 20 MHz of separation between one pair of channels and
22.5 MHz between the other pair. You can use the Spectrum Analysis feature in an SM
or BHS, or use a standalone spectrum analyzer, to evaluate the RF environment. Where
spectrum analysis identifies risk of interference for any of these channels, you can
compromise this recommendation as follows:
◦ Select 2.4375 GHz for the middle channel
◦ Select 2.455 GHz for the top channel
◦ Select 2.4175 GHz for the bottom channel
In any case, ensure that your plan allows at least 20 MHz of separation between
channels.
12.3.4 5.2-GHz Channels
Channel selections for the AP in the 5.2-GHz frequency band range depend on whether
the AP is deployed in cluster.
5.2-GHz BH and Single AP Available Channels
A BH or a single 5.2-GHz AP can operate in the following channels, which are separated
by 5-MHz increments.
(All Frequencies in GHz)
5.275 5.290 5.305 5.320
5.280 5.295 5.310 5.325
5.285 5.300 5.315
The channels of adjacent APs should be separated by at least 20 MHz. However,
25 MHz of separation is advised.
5.2-GHz AP Cluster Recommended Channels
Three non-overlapping channels are recommended for use in a 5.2-GHz AP cluster:
(All Frequencies in GHz)
5.275 5.300 5.325
12.3.5 5.4-GHz Channels
Channel selections for the AP in the 5.4-GHz frequency band range depend on whether
the AP is deployed in cluster.
5.4-GHz BH and Single AP Available
A BH or single 5.4-GHz AP can operate in the following channels, which are separated
by 5-MHz.
(All Frequencies in GHz)
5495 5515 5535 5555 5575 5595 5615 5635 5655 5675 5695
5500 5520 5540 5560 5580 5600 5620 5640 5660 5680 5700
5505 5525 5545 5565 5585 5605 5625 5645 5665 5685 5705
5510 5530 5550 5570 5590 5610 5630 5650 5670 5690
The channels of adjacent APs should be separated by at least 20 MHz.
