Licensed Narrowband RF Licensed within specific geographic areas to
avoid potential interference In the U.S.
Licensing controlled by FCC Each geographic area has a radius of 28 km and can
contain five licenses Motorola holds 600 licenses in 18-GHz range
Covers all metropolitan areas Can assure that independent LANs in nearby
locations do not interfere Encrypted transmissions prevent eavesdropping
