Point-to-Multi-Point

The HAMWan band plan allocates 3 non overlapping sector channels, These are used by end users to connect to the network

Channel Name Low Center High True Bearing
184 s1-10 5915 5920 5925 0
180 s2-10 5895 5900 5905 120
176 s3-10 5875 5880 5885 240
  • Channel numbers are generated to correspond with standard 802.11n channels but there is no guarantee that they are standards compliant channel numbers.

​Point-to-Point Frequencies

These represent notes about frequencies we have used or considered. Every location is unique and frequency coordination is a must

Unlicensed frequency use in the 5ghz band for Canada is governed by http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/eng/sf10971.html#s6

5GHz Amateur Spectrum In Canada

The 5ghz band is very popular among commercial service providers and home users. We are lucky enough to have access to a portion of this band that commercial ISPs and unlicensed users are not allowed to use.

Notes
C39A The band 5725–5825MHz is designated for use bylicence-exemptwireless local area networks and devices with established maximum power levels and based upon not interfering with, or claiming protection from, licensed services.
C39B The use of the bands 5150–5250MHz,5250–5350MHz, and 5470–5725MHz by the mobile service is in accordance with spectrum policy and technical and operational limits established for the implementation of wireless local area networks and devices.
5.446A (WRC-03) The use of the bands 5150–5350MHz and 5470-5725MHz by the stations in the mobile service shall be in accordance with Resolution229(WRC-03).
5.446B (WRC-03) In the band 5150–5250MHz, stations in the mobile service shall not claim protection from earth stations in thefixed-satelliteservice. Number5.43Adoes not apply to the mobile service with respect to FSS earth stations.
5.447F
(WRC-03)
In the band 5250–5350MHz, stations in the mobile service shall not claim protection from the radiolocation service, the Earthexploration-satelliteservice (active) and the space research service (active). These services shall not impose on the mobile service more stringent protection criteria, based on system characteristics and interference criteria, than those stated in Recommendations ITU-RM.1638and ITU-RSA.1632.
5.448A (WRC-03) The Earthexploration-satellite(active) and space research (active) services in the frequency band 5250–5350MHz shall not claim protection from the radiolocation service. Number5.43Adoes not apply.
5.448B (WRC-03) The Earthexploration-satelliteservice (active) operating in the band 5350–5570MHz and space research service (active) operating in the band 5460–5570MHz shall not cause harmful interference to the aeronautical radionavigation service in the band 5350–5460MHz, the radionavigation service in the band 5460–5470MHz and the maritime radionavigation service in the band 5470–5570MHz.
5.448C (WRC-03) The space research service (active) operating in the band 5350–5460MHz shall not cause harmful interference to nor claim protection from other services to which this band is allocated.
5.448D (WRC-03) In the frequency band 5350–5470MHz, stations in the radiolocation service shall not cause harmful interference to, nor claim protection from, radar systems in the aeronautical radionavigation service operating in accordance with No.5.449.
5.450A (WRC-03) In the band 5470–5725MHz, stations in the mobile service shall not claim protection from radiodetermination services. Radiodetermination services shall not impose on the mobile service more stringent protection criteria, based on system characteristics and interference criteria, than those stated in Recommendation ITU-RM.1638.
5.450B (WRC-03) In the frequency band 5470–5650MHz, stations in the radiolocation service, exceptground-basedradars used for meteorological purposes in the band 5600–5650MHz, shall not cause harmful interference to, nor claim protection from, radar systems in the maritime radionavigation service.
