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.
