ISM
The ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) bands are open frequency bands, varying by region, that allow for operation without a license. These are also know as the unlicensed bands. In North America, these bands are the 260 ~ 470MHz, 902 ~ 928MHz, and 2.4GHz, among others. The 2.4GHz band is also utilized for worldwide operation. As a basis for unlicensed operation, these bands are often hosts for standardized and proprietary protocols such as WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, Z-Wave, etc.

Texas Instruments CC1101 TransceiverCC1101 sub-1GHz Transceiver
The CC1101 is a low-cost sub-1GHz transceiver designed for very low-power wireless applications. The circuit is mainly intended for the ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) and SRD (Short Range Device) frequency bands at 315, 433, 868, and 915MHz, but can easily be programmed for operation at other frequencies in the 300-348MHz, 387-464MHz and 779-928MHz bands.

260 ~ 470 MHz

260 ~ 470MHz for ISM260~470MHz for ISM:
The 260~470 MHz band is an unlicensed band in the US, and specific frequencies are available for use in different countries. Check local regulations for which frequencies are unlicensed for use in your area. In the US this band is controlled by the operation limits specified in CFR Title 47 part 15.231.

860 ~ 960MHz

860 ~ 960MHz for ISM860~960MHz for ISM:
The 860~960MHz band is popular in many countries due to the fact you can send almost any analog or data signal. More specifically, the 902~928MHz band in the US and the 868MHz band in the EU. The 902~928MHz band is an ISM band in the US, but check local regulations to see which frequencies are unlicensed to use in your area.
In the US, this frequency band is regulated by CFR Title 47 Part 15.247.
