Why this subject?Why this subject?
Wireless technologies are more and more Wireless technologies are more and more used nowadays. The 802.11j standard is used nowadays. The 802.11j standard is relative to the technology of wireless local relative to the technology of wireless local area networksarea networks. That’s why we were That’s why we were interested on it.interested on it.

The most important The most important specificationsspecifications
In 1999 two extensions to 802.11 were In 1999 two extensions to 802.11 were approved:approved: 802.11a (5 GHz, 54 Mbps) 802.11a (5 GHz, 54 Mbps) 802.11b (2.4 GHz, 11 Mbps)802.11b (2.4 GHz, 11 Mbps)
In 2003:In 2003: 802.11g (2.4 GHz, 54 Mbps)802.11g (2.4 GHz, 54 Mbps)

ConclusionConclusion
The complexity of access to the licenses on the 5 GHz The complexity of access to the licenses on the 5 GHz band in Japan did not make 802.11a standard popular band in Japan did not make 802.11a standard popular as much as expected as much as expected
So, a new specification 802.11j appeared, with a So, a new specification 802.11j appeared, with a limitation at 4.9 GHzlimitation at 4.9 GHz
Finally if the access to the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz on the Finally if the access to the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz on the same peripheral requires a technological adaptation, same peripheral requires a technological adaptation, the operation is simplified between the 4.9 GHz and 5 the operation is simplified between the 4.9 GHz and 5 GHz, which makes it possible to develop peripherals GHz, which makes it possible to develop peripherals which will accept the two frequencies without rupturewhich will accept the two frequencies without rupture
