  • Page 18 NoWire Model 2100 Installation and Operation Manual frequencies that are used for RF transmission are regulated by the government. In the United States, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) decides who is able to use which frequencies and for which purposes, and it issues licenses for specific frequencies for specific functions (like radio stations, TV stations, cell phones, etc.) In the U.S., there are a few frequencies called the unlicensed spectrum which anyone is allowed to use within certain limits.
  • Page 19 NoWire Model 2100 Installation and Operation Manual 8.2.3.4 Frequency Hopping The wireless system has been designed to effectively deal with RF blocking. Since the transmitters are mandated to be low powered, the transmission environment constantly changes, and barriers come and go, not all of the transmissions from the transmitters may be received at the NoWire receiver.
