WiFi Channels | WiFi Frequency Bands List - Wi-Fi / WLAN / 802.11 channels, their channel frequencies and bandwidth allocations around the globe, spectral mask and summary of which channels can be used together for WLAN solutions. The IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi / WLAN standards set the attributes for the different channels that may be used. These attributes enable different Wi-Fi modules to talk to each other and effectively set up a WLAN. To ensure that WLAN solutions operate satisfactorily, parameters such as the RF signal centre frequencies, channel numbers and the bandwidths must all be set.. ISM bands Wi-Fi is aimed at use within unlicensed spectrum. There are a number of unlicensed spectrum bands in a variety of areas of the radio spectrum. The main bands used for carrying Wi-Fi are those in the table below: 802.11 systems and bands There are several different 802.11 variants in use. 2.4 GHz 802.11 channels There is a total of fourteen channels defined for use by Wi-Fi 802.11 for the 2.4 GHz ISM band. 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi channel frequencies

Preventing Radio-Frequency Interference - Wireless Bandwidth Spectrum After an eternity of chatter and commercials, the radio DJ is about to play the song you've been waiting for. Then, after a moment of pregnant silence, you hear it. No, not your favorite tune, but your least favorite sound: a bzzt-baba-bzzt-baba-bzzzzzzzt that pierces through your car-stereo speakers. Within moments a cellphone will ring, either in the radio studio dozens of miles away, or inside your own vehicle. RFI takes many forms, and they're all ugly: A humming microwave chokes a Wi-Fi connection; a baby monitor brims with noise; an audio recording made with a laptop fizzles and pops. Radio Overactive Electromagnetic radiation lies behind everything from gamma rays to visible light to your kid's walkie-talkie. "Consumer electronic devices are designed to be used in a certain environment and interact with electromagnetic fields," says Carnegie Mellon electrical and computer engineering professor James Hoburg. For decades, the FCC has tried to prevent this. Unintended Receiver

Antoni Muntadas and Marshall Reese | REDCAT With each presidential election since 1984, Antoni Muntadas and Marshall Reese have compiled a new edition of Political Advertisement, a historical survey of television campaign spots from 1952 to the present. This compelling anthology, updated to include advertisements from this year’s presidential campaign, charts the selling of the American presidency in the media age. Muntadas and Reese weave a revelatory social and media history that shows the ways in which campaign advertising has become political strategy and manipulative marketing technique. Muntadas’s works, extending from video to publishing to multimedia installations, have been internationally recognized for their biting examinations of the media as an instrument of socialization and normalization. Reese is a video artist and poet who, in addition to his collaborations with Muntadas, teams up with artist Nora Ligorano as the duo Ligorano/Reese.

Streaming tv service ivi ruled a threat to the industry; appeals court unanimously upholds injunction Streaming television service ivi suffered another setback this week when a federal appeals court has upheld a lower court’s temporary injunction against the controversial company. In its ruling, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit said that allowing ivi to resume service could “threaten to destabilize the entire industry.” (Read the ruling, below.) ABC, NBCUniversal, Univision, Fox Television, CBS and several other broadcasters and networks sued ivi in 2010, asserting that the startup was infringing their copyrights by live-streaming their programming without permission. In February 2011, the U.S. “The absence of a preliminary injunction would encourage current and prospective retransmission rights holders, as well as other Internet services, to follow ivi’s lead in retransmitting plaintiffs’ copyrighted programming without their consent,” Judge Denny Chin wrote in a unanimous decision with Judges Ralph Winter and Christopher Droney on WPIX v. ivi, 11-788-cv.
