As stated in Table 3, the U-NII 2 and U-NII2 extended sub-bands are also used by several radar systems and can only be used by Wi-Fi access points using the Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) and Transmit Power Control (TPC) algorithms. These 2 algorithms have been defined by the IEEE802.11h standard and specify a set of procedures to detect and avoid interference with radar systems operating in the U-NII 2 and U-NII 2 extended sub-bands.

When no site survey is made, the following rules of thumb should allow for a successful configuration: • The HuddleShare access point in a meeting room should not re-use a WiFi Channel that overlaps with one of the channels used in the corporate WLAN infrastructure. Ideally, at least two channels in the corporate WLAN should be reserved for the HuddleShare.
