Custom Frequencies
- Using professional grade commercial hardware or modified consumer grade hardware it is possible to operate 802.11 on channels that are outside of the normal FCC allocated frequencies for unlicensed users but still inside an amateur radio band. Some of these frequencies are inside the 2.4 GHz (13 cm), 3.4 GHz (9 cm) and the 5.8 GHz (5 cm) amateur radio bands, thereby providing better security and interference characteristics to amateur radio operators. While using amateur-only frequencies all but alleviates the security concerns of using 802.11, the relative high cost of such devices is a large deterrent to their widespread deployment.

Famous quotes containing the word custom:
“There is immunity in reading, immunity in formal society, in office routine, in the company of old friends and in the giving of officious help to strangers, but there is no sanctuary in one bed from the memory of another. The past with its anguish will break through every defence-line of custom and habit; we must sleep and therefore we must dream.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
