E2C04
Which of the following frequencies can be used for amateur radio mesh networks?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: B. Frequencies shared with various unlicensed wireless data services
Amateur mesh networks use frequencies in the 2.4, 3.4 and 5.8 GHz ranges that amateurs share with unlicensed Wi-Fi type services. That lets hams use modified off-the-shelf Wi-Fi gear.
Tip: Mesh networks live where Wi-Fi lives.
