Welcome to this Thought Leadership Discussion about managing the unlicensed RF spectrum in wireless LANs (WLANs).

Wi-Fi networks operate in unlicensed wireless frequencies in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. Because these bands are unlicensed, everyone has equal rights to use them. As more Wi-Fi networks get deployed, the more crowded these "free" frequencies get. So it's important to protect communications growing increasingly prone to interference that can cause connectivity and performance problems.

This discussion addresses approaches to successfully managing spectrum and discovering and acting on sources of interference so that businesses can optimize performance and lower the risk of their Wi-Fi connections. Please feel free to participate by posting your own questions and comments, which our participating thought leaders will answer in a timely fashion.
