How the System Works 5.1.1 Frequency Cattron Patriot equipment operates in the 902 to 928 Megahertz (MHz) frequency band. A wavelength at our frequency is 12.9 inches. Like light, 900 MHz radio signals pass through glass and plastics, and will reflect off of walls, buildings, and metal structures.
(described in the next section). 5.1.5 Safety Safety and preventing loss of control are very important issues at Cattron. We use a unique identification (ID) code for each user. There are provisions in the system for 65,535 individual codes. Each transmission includes a CRC check sum, which is a polynomial created by factoring all of the previous bits transmitted.
