DFS and False Radar

Detection

Nextiva wireless devices operating in the European Union must adhere to the Dynamic 
Frequency Selection (DFS) standard; this standard forces any RF transmitter to change 
frequency channels if radar activity is detected on the current operating channel. If two 
colocated wireless cells are communicating on adjacent channels, it is possible that the 
interference between the two systems causes false radar detections. This side-effect is a 
well-known industry-wide problem. New features in the wireless devices help minimize the 
occurrence of false detection events.
