Quinta – Trouble Shooting 7.1 20 Simultaneous Operation of the Quinta Conference System and other 2.4 GHz Devices (e.g. WLAN, Bluetooth) 7.1.1 Physical Laws Due to many physical laws it is not possible to guarantee a simultaneous interference-free operation of different devices using the same frequency band. Radio devices operating in the same frequency band will always disturb each other (the function can be disturbed as well).
Quinta – Trouble Shooting 21 You can easily recognise that the individual WLAN channels overlap considerably due to their bandwidth. All neighbouring channels (e.g. channel 1 & 2 or channel 7 & 8) cannot be used simultaneously, because they would disturb each other. Furthermore, channel 12 and 13 are not approved for the use in the USA. In general, these channels are not used either. Within the remaining frequency bands only the WLAN channels 1, 6 and 11 can be used simultaneously.
