Propagation Characteristics
Line-of-sight with some diffraction around obstacles. Building penetration decreases at higher UHF. Multipath fading is significant in urban environments.
Regulatory Notes
Heavily licensed spectrum. ISM bands at 433 MHz (EU), 915 MHz (US), 2.4 GHz (global). GPS L1 at 1575.42 MHz.
