RefertoRadiofrequencybarriersandRFinterferenceonpage16 fordetailedinformationaboutRFbarriersandinterference.
Toallowmultipleseparatewirelessnetworksinasharedandconfinedspace,theRFmediumisdividedintochannels.Fordevices
inthe5GHzrange(802.11a/n/ac),thismeansthepossibilityof
upto23discretechannels.
Fordevicesusingthe2.4GHzrange(802.11b/g/n),thewirelessspaceislimitedtoamaximumof14ov erlappingchannels.Asa
resultoftheseoverlappingchannels,2.4GHztechnologyprovidesonlyatotalofthreediscretechannels.
