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.
