Electromagnetic Spectrum
As shown in the illustration above, the frequencies within the RF spectrum are
divided into smaller portions called bands. A band is a range of frequencies that is
broad enough to allow for one or more communication paths without affecting
adjacent bands. Only particular transmission bands are permitted without a special
license from the FCC.
Three bands are used by Crestron wireless products:
• 418-433 MHz
• 2.4 GHz
• 5.8 GHz
Crestron wireless products do not use the 900 MHz band.
Crestron wireless network types, associated bands, and related information are listed
in the following table.
