fully compatible with FCC Rules.

Using frequency planning

Networks will benefit from the use of fixed channel allocations if (a) the network consists
of multiple PTP links, and (b) RF interference predominantly arises from equipment in the
same network.
Frequency planning is the exercise of assigning operating channels to PTP units so as to
minimize RF interference between links. Frequency planning must consider interference
from any PTP unit to any other PTP unit in the network. Low levels of interference
normally allow for stable operation and high link capacity.
The frequency planning task is made more straightforward by use of the following
techniques:
•
Using several different channels
•
Separating units located on the same mast
•
Using high performance (directional) external antennas
