Robust - Ensuring performance and scalability with spectrum monitoring and device management
Users should have an interoperable network that doesn’t sacrifice performance even if other wireless solutions are already installed. That’s why ISA100 Wireless is designed with coexistence in mind, delivering optimal performance in the presence of other wireless networks.
The Problem:
Sharing The Spectrum
Radios operating in the 2.4GHz ISM band must share frequency in the presence of other RF systems.
ISA100 Wireless’ Solution:
ETSI EN 300.328 v1.8.1 compliance
ISA100 Wireless is the only industrial wireless network protocol that satisfies this regulation, which goes into effect January 1, 2015.

Channel Blacklist
Automatically avoid congested channels
Frequency/Channel Hopping
Minimizes error by spreading signal over entire available band
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
Energy spreads so it looks like noise to other systems
Dynamic Power Control
Limits interference
Low Duty Cycle Operation
Short time-synchronized communication reduces congestion
CSMA/CA (Listen Before Talk) Clear Channel Assessment
Avoids collisions with other radio systems
Frequency Selection
Force operation on specific channels to optimize performance
