    (ETSI Band C and FCC ISM band). This means that no license is required to operate the PTP 500 Series bridge. Why does the PTP 500 Series bridge operate in the 5 GHz band? The 5 GHz band offers the dual benefits of high data throughput and good radio propagation characteristics. The wide band of spectrum available is subdivided into several channels such that multiple systems can operate in the vicinity without causing interference to one another.
  • Page 279 17 FAQs Is the PTP 500 Series bridge an 802.11a device? No, although similar, the PTP 500 Series bridge uses different encoding and radio transmission systems from 802.11a. In areas where 802.11a systems are operating, the PTP 500 Series bridge will detect the 802.11a radio signals and choose a clear channel away from any interference.
