# enum\_ieee80211\_band(9)

supported frequency bands

## NAME

enum\_ieee80211\_band - supported frequency bands

## SYNOPSIS

```
enum ieee80211_band {
  IEEE80211_BAND_2GHZ,
  IEEE80211_BAND_5GHZ,
  IEEE80211_BAND_60GHZ,
  IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS
};
```

## CONSTANTS

IEEE80211\_BAND\_2GHZ

2\.4GHz ISM band

IEEE80211\_BAND\_5GHZ

around 5GHz band (4.9-5.7)

IEEE80211\_BAND\_60GHZ

around 60 GHz band (58.32 - 64.80 GHz)

IEEE80211\_NUM\_BANDS

number of defined bands

## DEVICE REGISTRATION

The bands are assigned this way because the supported bitrates differ in these bands.
