9.4 Operating Frequencies

The KW-14T and KW-14R employ the DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection)
technology which actively monitors the RF spectrum to select the most appropriate
operating frequencies. The table below lists the operating frequencies and their
range, (DFS or non-DFS).

Notes:

 Up to four transmitters can operate in the same room or environment. Each

transmitter occupies one of the frequencies listed in the above table

 Some Wi-Fi routers and access points also use the 5GHz frequency band.
