Channel Overlaps

Channel overlaps are an important consideration in wireless security installation.

  1. Frequency Spectrum Division: Wireless networks use the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, each divided into multiple channels.
  2. Overlapping Channels: Some channels in the 2.4 GHz band overlap with one another, leading to interference.
  3. Interference and Performance Impact: Overlapping channels can cause signal degradation and reduced data throughput.
  4. Channel Planning: Careful planning of channel allocation can minimize overlaps and improve network performance and security.
  5. 5 GHz Band Advantages: The 5 GHz band offers more channels and less interference compared to the 2.4 GHz band.
